Will no longer be live: Plans for a live ceremony this Sunday, May 7 2023 have been shelved and replaced by a pre-taped broadcast in light of the Hollywood writers’ strike
The annual award show will still air this Sunday at 8/7c on MTV and its sister channels, but it’s been hampered by a number of high-profile dropouts due to the writers’ strike that got underway earlier this week. Most notably, Drew Barrymore, who was set to host this year’s ceremony, dropped out on Thursday, citing the strike as the reason: “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.” Striking writers also had plans to picket outside the live event in L.A. this Sunday
