MTV Movie and TV Awards

The MTV Movie and TV Awards is a globally recognized entertainment event that celebrates the greatest achievements in film and television. Established by MTV, a leading cable television network, the aim of the award show is not only to acknowledge cinematic and television success, but also to bring together popular culture and the young demographic. This iconic event holds its charm in the distinct categories it offers, including "Best Kiss", "Best Fight", and "Best Musical Moment", providing a unique engagement in comparison to traditional film and TV awards.

Dating back to 1992, the MTV Movie and TV Awards has since evolved to include television categories, marking a notable departure from its cinema-only roots. For South Africans, this awards show offers an opportunity to have their films and TV series recognized on a global scale. Achievements of South African actors, filmmakers, and productions are celebrated, fostering a sense of national pride and global recognition. South African born actor, Charlize Theron, for instance, has been a recipient of these awards, bringing further spotlight to the country’s entertainment industry.

In South Africa, the MTV Movie and TV Awards is primarily observed through live broadcasts and streaming channels, enabling audiences to engage in real-time with the global event. South African celebrities often grace the red carpet, sharing the stage with international counterparts. The timing of the MTV Movie and TV Awards generally coincides with the international schedule. However, specific broadcast timings may vary somewhat to accommodate South African time zones, ensuring that audiences can participate in this international celebration of film and television.

Date shown for 2024 is estimated as the official date has not been finalized.
