Hosted by actor and comedian Adam Devine, the 26th MTV Movie Awards was held on May 7, 2017, from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California. For the 2017 edition of the awards, the organizers for the first time presented honors for work in television as well as cinema, to make it the MTV Movie & TV Awards.
The event also did not differentiate between actors based on gender. Instead, female, male, and gender non-binary actors all competed for the top acting awards. From Trevor Noah winning an award to Taraji P. Henson beating the fellas to win best Hero and long winded speeches by some awardees and many more, the night wasn’t without some best and worst moments.
