The MTV Movie and TV Awards is a prestigious event that honours achievements in film and television, showcasing a blend of traditional and new-age categories such as Best Fight and Best Kiss to Internet Phenomenon and Best Breakthrough Performance. Compared to other awards such as Oscars or Emmys, this observance places unique emphasis on the public voting system, putting power in the hands of viewers worldwide to decide winners. Championed as a populist alternative to other awards, this event bridges the gap between fans and the industry, enriching the direct connection between audiences and content creators.

The MTV Movie and TV Awards traces its roots back to 1992 in the United States. Over its expansive history, it has gained recognition among the global audience, including in Canada. Exhibiting Canadian talent has been a significant aspect of the awards, with artists like Jim Carrey, Ryan Gosling, and Rachel McAdams previously earning accolades. Recognizing the role of Canadian talent in Hollywood’s success, these awards serve as a platform for these individuals to gain recognition and further their careers.

The MTV Movie and TV Awards observance in Canada takes the form of national broadcasts of the ceremony, along with associated fan voting opportunities. Canadians, like viewers worldwide, participate online on MTV's website to vote for their favourite performances and moments. There has not been a separate time or date for the MTV Movie and TV Awards specific to Canada. Rather, the event usually aligns with the international schedule, offering Canadians a chance to collectively celebrate their national talent alongside a global audience. This setup further emphasizes the global nature of the entertainment industry and the inclusiveness of these awards.
