26th edition of the MTV Movie and TV Awards are back! Held at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, the awards will be hosted by charismatic Shazam – Zachary Levi himself and will also feature performances by Bazzi & the sensational Lizzo, on June 18 and on Vh1 India.


"Vh1 India continues to showcase trendsetting international music, entertainment awards and pop-culture events to viewers in India. Winning the iconic bucket of Golden Popcorn at the MTV Movie & TV Awards is a symbol of popularity and pride for actors, since the audience is in control of choosing the winner through online voting. As two pop culture behemoths – Avengers: Endgame and Game of Thrones, reign supreme in nominations for this year's awards, the competition gets fiercer. With Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) and Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark) gear up for the battle between Starks in the 'Best Hero' category, Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) contends for 'Best Performance in a Show' and Josh Brolin (Thanos) stakes claim to the 'Best Villain' award. A star-studded event filled with celebrities, breath-taking performances and tons of awards, is the recipe for a grand celebration on Vh1 that viewers just cannot miss." said, Hashim Dsouza – Head of Programming, English Entertainment, Viacom18.
