TVLine Items: MTV Movie & TV Awards on Hiatus, Lacey Chabert’s Netflix Rom-Com and More
There will be one less kudosfest this year: The MTV Movie & TV Awards will not take place in 2024.
Per Billboard.com, the show has been put “on pause,” but “will return with a reimagined format in 2025,” according to a spokesperson.
The awards ceremony has been a mainstay on MTV every year since 1992, except for in 2020 (when it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic). In 2023, the live awards ceremony was replaced with a pre-taped broadcast as a result of the WGA strike and following host Drew Barrymore’s decision to drop out in solidarity with the strike.

Which of today’s TVLine Items pique your interest?
Wait! What? The Real Full Monty? Hmmmm
It’s something that has been being done here in the UK every year since 2017. Even here where we have shows like Naked Attraction that will openly show full frontal nudity on a free to air channel, this is staged managed so much you generally wouldn’t really know if they were fully striping off or not so its not as risqué as it seems although it does however go out live and there have been a few slips by the celebs but with the way US TV is I expect that Fox will record it and even the hint of nudity will get blurred
shame about the MTV Screen awards, Barbie could have cleaned up there
MTV might not even have the same owner come around this time next year. Can you say, Budget cuts? Call it what it is. lol
I am surprised to see Lacey Chabert is doing a movie for Netflix.
Yeah, so?
Oh no! One less awards show this year????? One less excuse for actors to pat each other on the back.
