First presented in 1992, the MTV Movie Awards is a film awards show presented annually on MTV (Music Television). Nominees are chosen by a panel at the Tenth Planet Productions. The voting is then done by the public, with the voting done online.

The MTV Movie Awards ceremony is usually taped and then broadcast afew days after. The entire production is taped in a different order to what is shown on MTV. Celebrities would often only appear at the live taping for the announcement of their award category, and then members of the general audience would fill their vacant seats during the other times. However, in 2007 this will change. For the first time the event will be shown live, hosted by comedienne Sarah Silverman.

Typical MTV Movie Award categories are Best Kiss, Best Villain and Best Fight. Even so, there are the more traditional awards aswell, such as Best Movie and Best Performance.
