Thanks for the recap! I had no idea these awards were even given out.
I rarely watch TV, so I had no idea these were even on. I do love watching awards shows though and I’m glad Melissa McCarthy got the Comedic Genius Award. I love her!
The Revenant is not my cup of tea, but Leonardo did deserve to win the award just like he deserved the Oscar. I loved him in Wolf of Wall street and he should have already won an Oscar back then. I love love love the award: is it in the shape of a cup of popcorn?
Thanks for sharing this recap. My DVR went on the fritz, and I totally missed them!
I loved all the movie sneak peeks they did this year. The Rock and Kevin Hart were great hosts!
I love the Rock and Kevin. I’m actually really sad I missed these awards this year. Thanks for the recap!
Definitely some well-deserved awards. It sounds like it was a great show this year!
I never miss any of the MTV award shows! My favorite parts of this year’s show was Seth Rogen’s outfit and Chris Pratt’s acceptance speech.
I recall actually knowing when these were on and sitting down to watch them. Sadly I am not watching this year, I have work that has to be done from home and the TV isn’t in the office.
Lots of great winners here. And Jared Leto’s new movie looks like it’s going to be intense!
Thanks for the recap. I missed it so I’m glad to see Will Smith won. I’ll have to check out the re-run
I use to LOVE MTV and watch this yearly! As I have grown, I admit that I have feel off the bandwagon. I will need to watch this on demand!
