South African actress Charlize Theron won
"Best Female Performance" for her role in "Mad Max: Fury Road" while "Star
Wars: The Force Awakens" took home the trophy for "Movie of the Year" at the
25th anniversary edition of the "MTV Movie Awards.
Held Saturday night outdoors for the first time ever on the Warner Bros.
Studios backlot in Burbank, California, more than 2,000 screaming fans and
Hollywood's hottest turned out to see hosts Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart,
performers Ariana Grande and Halsey, and many, many more take the stage to
honour the year's fan-favourite films and stars.
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).
The "2016 MTV Movie Awards" built on the show's reputation for wild and
visually stunning moments. 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.
The evening also included exclusive sneak peeks at highly anticipated films
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," "Captain America: Civil War" and
the world premiere of the Blitz Trailer for "Suicide Squad."
