Why the MTV Movie & TV Awards aren’t happening this year

MTV won’t be holding its annual Movie & TV Awards this year. Here’s why.

Outside of the 2020 pandemic year, MTV has held some form of its Movie & TV Awards since 1992. Well, that’s changing in 2024.

The network confirmed to Billboard on Monday that it will not hold a Movie & TV Awards this summer, opting to pause the ceremony and “return with a reimagined format in 2025.”

While the irreverent annual spin on media award shows has dwindled in popularity over the years from its zeitgeist zenith of the 1990s and 2000s, MTV kept giving out golden popcorn buckets through the 2010s and added television to its roster of awards in 2017.

We’ll see how MTV reworks the awards show next year as it punts on the established format and goes without in 2024.

Johnny Bananas on ‘The Challenge: Ride or Dies,’ trying to get Nany a first win and … finding love?

We spoke with The Challenge GOAT about returning to the MTV series and so much more.

The last time we saw Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio, he ended a streak of six straight series of The Challenge in which he was eliminated before making the final, winning Total Madness.

Yes, that would be his seventh Challenge title.

But since then, he’s stayed out of the fray and watched Chris “CT” Tamburello win two seasons of his own (Double Agents and Spies, Lies & Allies), making some fans wonder: Who’s the true Challenge GOAT?

Did that factor into Bananas coming back for another season? We dove into that and more with him in a Q&A ahead of Wednesday’s premiere of The Challenge: Ride or Dies at 8 PM ET on MTV.
