It’s one of the most epic movie award shows on the planet and this year, the MTV Movie Awards were bigger and better than ever! Hosts Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart entered through the crowd on a flaming “Mad Max”-style war rig, escorted by an entourage of drum-pounding war boys. Ryan Reynolds received a surprise serenade by hip hop legends Salt-N-Pepa of their classic “Shoop” – featured in his film “Deadpool” – as he accepted the award for “Best Comedic Performance”. And comedy trio The Lonely Island kicked it old school in half-buckled overalls for a medley of MTV Generation Award-winner Will Smith’s greatest hits. Ariana Grande and Halsey also added their flavour with brilliant performances.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Mad Max: Fury Road and Deadpool were the big winners of the night with out very own Charlize Theron taking home the award for Best Female Performance. The “2016 MTV Movie Awards” premieres across Africa on Monday 11 April, with the red carpet pre-show beginning at 20:30 CAT and main show at 22:00 CAT on MTV (DStv channel 130).
