'The Last Of Us' Wins Big At The 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards

The effects of the Writers Guild of America strike were felt during the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards, which aired on MTV Sunday night (May 7th). After Drew Barrymore dropped out of hosting the event "in solidarity with the strike," the executive producer announced they were moving to a pre-taped show instead.

With no live show and two hours of airtime to fill, the awards show featured a significant amount of "flashback" footage, including Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, P!nk, and Mya performing "Lady Marmalade" from the Moulin Rogue! Soundtrack in 2001, NSYNC performing "It's Gonna Be Me" in 2000, and TLC performing "Waterfalls" from the 1995 show.

Viewers took to Twitter to express their confusion about the show's format this year. "Is this not the typical mtv movie awards lmao ? I'm so lost #MTVAwards," one person wrote. Another commented, "This is giving 2020 everyone at home because of covid vibes #MTVAwards."

The Last of Us was the big winner of the evening, taking home three awards in total, including Best Show. Pedro Pascal won Best Hero and Best Duo as well. He accepted Best Duo alongside Bella Ramsey.

Stranger Things followed close behind with two awards in total, including Best Kick-Ass Cast, while Joseph Quinn won the award for Breakthrough Performance. Jenna Ortega took home the golden popcorn for Best Performance in a Show for her role in Wednesday.

As for film, Scream VI had the most wins, taking home Best Movie and Best Fight. Meanwhile, Tom Cruise won Best Performance in a Movie for his role in Top Gun: Maverick. He accepted this award in the exact same way that he honored King Charles III — through a video recording of him flying a plane.

It was a big night for Jennifer Coolidge as well, for she was honored with the Comedic Genius Award and took home Most Frightened Performance for her role in The White Lotus. A montage highlighted her numerous roles over the years, including in Best in Show, Legally Blonde, and American Pie.

Many made sure to mention the WGA strike in their acceptance speeches, including Coolidge, Quinn, and Pascal.

Barrymore reprised her role as Josie Keller from Never Been Kissed in a pre-taped segment. She also played Barbie's "super supportive sister" Skipper, who was inserted into the trailer for the new movie. The Drew Barrymore Show host took home the golden popcorn for Best Host as well.

When the outlet asked if he's faced criticism for being open about his faith, Pratt said, "I sure do but that's nothing new, that's nothing new, you know?"

Quoting the Bible, the Parks and Recreation star continued, "If I was of this world, they would love me just like that but as it is, I've chosen out of this world. That's John 15:18 through 20."

Referring to Jesus, Pratt added, "That's the way it is, nothing new, 2,000 years ago they hated him, too."

Cuoco added that the Ozark actor "just loves" Matilda. "She looks exactly like him. And he has a very distinct voice, so when he talks to her, she's like 360. Her head turns around, and she's like, 'I know that voice.' It's very sweet," the Big Bang Theory star said.

Cannon added that what matters is how his kids feel when he's around. "It's not about what I do for you or what I say to you, it's about how you feel when I'm with you. If you feel loved when you see your dad, that's what's gonna resonate," he said.

Mark Hamill Calls Carrie Fisher 'Our Princess' At Walk Of Fame Ceremony

Mark Hamill paid a sweet tribute to his Star Wars co-star, Carrie Fisher, at her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony Thursday (May 4th).

The actor read from a note he wrote about Fisher shortly after her death. In his speech, he said, "Carrie was one of a kind. She belonged to us all, whether we liked it or not. She was our princess, dammit! And the actress who played her blurred into one gorgeous, fearlessly independent, ferociously funny, take charge woman who took our collective breath away. Determined and tough, but with a vulnerability that made you root for her and want her to succeed and be happy. She played such a crucial role in my professional and personal life. Both would've been far emptier without her."

Hamill stuck around to help Fisher's daughter, Billie Lourd, unveil her mother's star.

The Scream Queens star poured glitter on the star itself and told the crowd, "My mom was glitter. She covered her world in it both literally and metaphorically. She left a mark of her sparkle on everyone she met."
