LGBTQ-Inclusive Shows Score At 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards

It was a good night for LGBTQ content and creators at last night’s truncated MTV Movie & TV Awards. Due to the current writer’s strike in Hollywood and NYC, the broadcast basically consisted of pre-taped sketches and video acceptance speeches. Drew Barrymore, who was scheduled to host, pulled out in solidarity with the writer’s union. https://twitter.com/MTVAwards/status/1655385126023626754 https://twitter.com/pascalarchive/status/1655364371319537667 Via OUT:

Another gay favorite, “Scream VI,” with queer star Jasmin Savoy Brown, won for Best Movie, beating out others like “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” and “Nope.”
