MTV will not have a 2024 Movie and TV Awards this year.
You may recall that last year’s show was a debacle, what with the two Hollywood strikes and Drew Barrymore pulling out as host, under pressure at the last minute.
The show did air, in pre recorded clips, and was a disaster.
By skipping 2024, MTV is jumping past “Oppenheimer,” “Barbie,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and so on. Frankly, it’s a smart idea. We’ve put those films to rest. It’s time to move on. But I am surprised: did no one want come and be part of the show?
MTV says the awards will be back in 2025. They should really move them up to winter or spring so they can be current. There may be some reluctance to mount an awards show right now in the current political climate, but does anyone who watches MTV know much about it? I doubt it.
Maybe al awards shows should skip a year on a staggered basis. We’d all be better for it.
