2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards: The full list of winners at this year’s ceremony

‘Stranger Things’, ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’ were among this year’s top nominees

The winners of the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards were announced in a pre-taped ceremony on Sunday (7 May).

The fan-voted awards were set to be delivered live from Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, however, due to the ongoing Hollywood writers’ strike, the live broadcast was cancelled.

Days ahead of the ceremony, Drew Barrymore dropped out of her role as the event’s host in solidarity with the striking Writers Guild of America members.

“I have listened to the writers, and in order to truly respect them, I will pivot from hosting the MTV Movie & TV Awards live in solidarity with the strike,” she said in a statement.

This year saw The White Lotus star Jennifer Coolidge awarded the Comedic Genius Award and the introduction of two new categories: Best Reality Onscreen Team and Best Kick-Ass Cast.

Among the films and TV series up for the most golden popcorn statues this year were Netflix’s Stranger Things (seven nominations), followed by Top Gun: Maverick and HBO’s The Last of Us (with six nominations each).

Scroll down for a complete list of all the nominees and winners of this year’s ceremony.
