MTV Awards Honor "Scream VI" and "Last of Us"
Due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike, MTV scrapped its live event and went with a pre-taped special for the MTV Movie & TV Awards. "Scream VI" won Best Film and Best Fight, while "The Last of Us" took multiple awards including Best Show and Best Hero. Drew Barrymore dropped out of hosting duties but won an award for Best Host. Other winners included Tom Cruise, Jenna Ortega, Adam Sandler, Elizabeth Olsen, and Taylor Swift. Jennifer Coolidge won both Most Frightened Performance and a Comedic Genius Award and used one of her speeches to shout out her support for the striking writers.
