Instead of honoring the best actors and films of the last 12 months, the 2020 MTV Awards were about "The best of all time".
The pandemic has also changed the MTV Movie & TV Awards this year: Instead of honoring current films and actors from last year, a retrospective was chosen that honors the "best of all time" from the 80s to today. The event was moderated by Vanessa Hudgens (31). Stars like Neve Campbell (47) and Lily Collins (31) appeared.
The late "Black Panther" star Chadwick Boseman (1976-2020) was awarded the "Hero for the Ages" trophy by his "Avengers" co-stars Don Cheadle (56) and Robert Downey Jr. (55), as " Hero for Eternity "honored. "Wonder Woman" Gal Gadot (35) received the "She-Ro" award, while Kevin Hart (41) was named "Comedy Giant". In addition, Sarah Michelle Gellar (43) and Selma Blair (48) were honored for their cult kiss in "Ice Cold Angels" from 1999.
The awards also honored Kevin Bacon (62) for his dance performance in "Footloose", Drew Barrymore (45) and Adam Sandler (54) as "Dynamic Duo" and Jamie Lee Curtis (62) was named "Scream Queen". Jason Segel (40) and Kristen Bell (40) went through the worst breakup on screen in "Never Again Sex With Your Ex". From "Zero to Hero" William Zabka (55) aka Johnny Lawrence made it in "Karate Kid" and "Cobra Kai".
