Why the MTV Movie & TV Awards aren't happening this year

Outside of the 2020 pandemic year, MTV has held some form of its Movie & TV Awards since 1992. Well, that’s changing in 2024.

The network confirmed to Billboard on Monday that it will not hold a Movie & TV Awards this summer, opting to pause the ceremony and “return with a reimagined format in 2025.”

While the irreverent annual spin on media award shows has dwindled in popularity over the years from its zeitgeist zenith of the 1990s and 2000s, MTV kept giving out golden popcorn buckets through the 2010s and added television to its roster of awards in 2017.

We’ll see how MTV reworks the awards show next year as it punts on the established format and goes without in 2024.
