MTV Movie & TV Awards 2023: winners

Winners have been announced in the MTV Movie & TV Awards 2023.

These awards traditionally merge genders and platforms, but the big winners in TV included The Last of Us, Stranger Things and Jennifer Coolidge.

The event did not screen Live but as a pre-taped event after some participants pulled out as a result of the Writers Strike, with Jennifer Coolidge driving home its importance in an acceptance speech.

And it is still TV’s ugliest award….
