However, with the ongoing pandemic, it became necessary to pivot away from the original live format, while still delivering an exceptional night of entertainment for their audience.

The statement also highlighted that the revised format would still feature exclusive sneak peeks, as well as the irreverent categories that viewers have come to expect from the MTV Movie & TV Awards. Gillmer further added that the show would be packed with countless moments that are sure to surprise and delight the audience as they honor the best of film and TV from the past year.
