Viewers flocked to social media after labelling the 2023 MTV Movie and TV Awards as "awful" and a "train wreck" as bosses ditched the live awards show.
MTV bosses announced the awards ceremony would not be broadcast live after host Drew Barrymore pulled out three days before the show in solidarity for the striking Writers Guild of America members.
On Tuesday, 11,500 film and television writers represented by the union put down their pens and laptops after failing to reach a new contract with the trade association that represents Hollywood studios and production companies.
