Hello, @MTV. #MTVAwards
The Last Of Us #MTVAwards wins:
• Best Hero
• Best Duo
• Best Show
(Congrats to Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey of The Last of Us on taking home Best Duo at the #MTVAwards!)
The 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards went on with a pretaped ceremony amid the writers strike and talent pulling out in support of the movement.
Drew Barrymore dropped out of hosting duties earlier this week and pledged to return next year. Barrymore had already pretaped the opening segment of the show where she was inserted in scenes from films like Cocaine Bear, M3GAN, and Top Gun: Maverick, as well as TV shows like The White Lotus, all while dressed as her Never Been Kissed character Josie Gellar.
Pedro Pascal took the first golden popcorn trophy of the night for his role in The Last of Us.
“I wish we could all be together so that I could look into your eyes and tell you that all the young people in the world are my heroes and I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you,” he said in his acceptance speech. “When I say that you deserve a world that serves your interests, you deserve to be healthy, you deserve to be safe, you deserve for your individual rights to be fought for and protected, you deserve real heroes in this world because you are real heroes to me and I love you.”
Pascal was the top winner of the night taking a total of three trophies that also included Best Duo with his co-star Bella Ramsey and a trophy for the HBO series The Last of Us.
Tom Cruise also made an appearance in the same vein as he did during King Charles III’s coronation.
“Thank you so much for this award,” Cruise said while piloting the fighter jet. “I make these films for you. I love you, I love entertaining you.”
