Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez were literally friendship goals as they both won big in the music categories of the MTV Movie & TV Awards.
The 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards still pushed through at the eleventh hour, despite not being a live show. It was turned into a pre-taped show with Drew Barrymore appearing on films and television shows in the opening segment.
2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards Debacle
Actress/host Drew Barrymore quit her hosting gig at the 2023 MTV Movie and TV Awards in solidarity with the Writers Guild of America strike.
However, she shot a pre-taped segment for the show and appeared less on the whole show which was turned into a pre-taped show rather than a live audience spectacle.
Nonetheless, the show pushed through and winners from film and television were announced.
Check out the winners of the major categories below:
