(CNN) After a crazy week full of production changes for the MTV Movie & TV Awards amid the writers’ strike, it’s time to finally see who will grab a golden popcorn statue.
The hit movie “Top Gun: Maverick” joins TV shows “Stranger Things,” “The Last of Us,” “The White Lotus” and “Wednesday” with the most nominations among scripted content. Leading the nominations in the unscripted categories are shows such as “Jersey Shore Family Vacation,” “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and “Vanderpump Rules.” Jennifer Coolidge will receive the Comic Genius Award, while the Best Musical Moment award went to Purple Hearts for “Come Back Home.”
The annual ceremony was originally scheduled to be hosted by Drew Barrymore, but Barrymore announced on Thursday that she would step back from hosting a demonstration in support of the ongoing writers’ strike. While some Barrymore tracks had already been recorded before the strike began, the ceremony takes place without an official host. In a statement, Barrymore promised to return as host of the 2024 show.
Following reports that striking members of the Writers Guild of America had planned to picket the Santa Monica Barker Hangar, where the event is being filmed, executive producer Bruce Gillmer shared in a statement to CNN that MTV Movie & TV Awards are “moving away from a live event” by airing a pre-recorded version of the ceremony on Sunday instead.
Part of this pivot during the telecast includes flashback clips from previous MTV Movie & TV Awards shows, which made up a large portion of the show, as well as pre-recorded speeches from the winners.
The show airs on MTV on Sunday, May 7 starting at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
