Late actor and Wonder Woman star were celebrated at the MTV awards show yesterday.
Chadwick Boseman and Gal Gadot
The 2020 edition of MTV Movie & TV Awards saw Hollywood stars Chadwick Boseman, Gal Gadot, Kevin Bacon and Kevin Hart, among others, recognised, as the ceremony honoured the 'greatest of all time' icons.
The 90-minute special celebrated 'GOATs' across several categories, including Scream Queen, Legendary Lip Lock, Dance Your A** Off, Heartbreaking Break-Up, Comedy Giant, Zero to Hero, She-Ro, and Dynamic Duo.

The special paid tributes to some of pop culture's greatest and most memorable moments in movies and TV from the 1980s until now. Black Panther star Boseman, who died in August after a four year-long private battle with colon cancer, was named the Hero for the Ages, for his contribution to cinema and the world, off-screen.
The ceremony played the actor's inspiring address from the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards, in which he accepted the Best Hero award. Boseman's Avengers: Endgame co-stars Robert Downey Jr and Don Cheadle presented the award posthumously to the late actor.
"Mr Boseman truly embodied what it meant to be a superhero. His impact as a ground-breaking leading man, [and] as an icon on screen, won't be quantified [by the] box office records he broke, but by the legions of fans that will celebrate him for many years to come. He was the most heroic when just being Chad," Iron Man star Downey Jr said.
Gadot, who won the She-Ro award, said playing the Amazonian warrior Diana Prince/Wonder Woman has been the "greatest joy of my life". "She means so much to me and I know how much she is loved," the actor, who is looking forward to the release of Wonder Woman 1984, said.
