Hailee Steinfeld as Belle
It's amazing what an actual singing voice can bring to the role.
Cute, precocious kids
From the Stranger Things cast to Loganstar Dafne Keen to little Randall from This Is Us, children are our future, and MTV knows it.
Moonlightwins Best Kiss
SORRY, LA LA LAND.
Congresswoman Maxine Waters
The California Democrat upped the prestige of MTV enough to skew the average for the whole century. She spoke about the power of actors and artists to inspire change (along with Tracee Ellis Ross) when presenting the award for Best Fight Against the System.
The cast of This Is Usdestroys us as usual
It was enough to have the show nominated, to say nothing of the emotional upheaval caused by seeing Jack do pushups with Randall on his back in a clip. But then This Is Uswon the Tearjerker Award and Milo Ventimiglia took the stage with little Randall himself (Lonnie Chavis). BYE, EVERYONE.
Worst
Adam Devine in general
Luckily, the MTV Movie & TV Awards don't force their host down the throats of viewers as persistently as so many other shows, so Devine was often overshadowed by movie clips and new trailers. Devine is funny in plenty of projects, but this wasn't one of them.
Allison Williams and Lilrel Howery
Howery's participation in every Get Outjoke was perfect, but we didn't need Williams offering various ways to dispel his fear of her. Couldn't we have gotten Daniel Kaluuya in one of these bits?
Beauty and the Beast wins Movie of the Year
Despite what seemed like a concerted effort from MTV to appear inclusive and diverse, Beauty and the Beastwon the big award against critically acclaimed films (and audience favorites) like Loganand Get Out. Director Bill Condon called attention in his speech to female viewers of the film as if they are a new phenomenon and not the lifeblood of movies and entertainment in general.
