2017 MTV Movie Awards live stream: time, TV channel, and how to watch online

The MTV Movie Awards are in the midst of an identity shift. This year’s show, hosted by Pitch Perfect and Workaholics alum Adam Devine, will air under a new name on Sunday, May 7: the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards. And yes, as the name implies, this time around, television stars will be recognized too.

But adding television categories isn’t the only notable change about the annual event.

This year, the awards show is also going gender-neutral. Unlike other awards shows, which delineate actors by gender (e.g., how the Oscars awards Best Actor and Best Actress trophies), MTV’s awards will just be recognizing the Best Actor in a Movie and Best Actor in a Show. That means Emma Watson (Beauty and the Beast) is going up against Hugh Jackman (Logan), Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out), and Taraji P. Henson (Hidden Figures) in the Best Actor in a Movie category, while Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) and Donald Glover (Atlanta) are going head to head in the television category.

The ceremony will still feature the awards’ more unique categories, like Best Kiss and Tearjerker.

Also on deck for Sunday’s event: The cast of the Fast and Furious movie franchise will be honored with the MTV Generation Award, while Pitbull, Noah Cyrus, and Camila Cabello are among the musical guests scheduled to perform.

How to watch:

When: Sunday, May 7, at 8 pm Eastern/Pacific (tape-delayed for the West Coast)

Where: The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles

Host: Adam Devine

On TV: The show will air on MTV with simulcasts on Spike, Comedy Central, VH1, BET, TV Land, MTV2, and MTV Classic

Online: With a TV provider and subscription sign-in, you can watch the awards show online at MTV.com

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
