Lizzo Performs and Lady Gaga Wins Big at the 2019 MTV Movie and TV Awards
A big night for stars and superheroes
There were plenty of awards handed out on Monday at the 2019 MTV Movie and TV Awards, from Best Kiss to Best Fight and everything in between. Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg took home a trophy, from MTV. However the biggest winner of the night might be Lizzo, who invited viewers to the Church of "Juice" for her first award show performance.
Complete with a Sister Act-style interlude, the Cuz I Love You singer was electric, finding new fans Melissa McCarthy and Jada Pinkett Smith vibing along in the crowd as she held the show captive.

As for the awards, there was plenty of golden popcorn to pass around. Lady Gaga landed Best Performance In A Movie for her role in A Star Is Born, and scored Best Musical Moment for the film's song "Shallow" with Bradley Cooper. Elsewhere Elisabeth Moss took the TV equivalent for The Handmaid’s Tale, with Game Of Thrones winning Best Show.
Avengers: Endgame was the biggest winner of the night. The sprawling superhero epic took home several awards including Best Movie, Best Hero, and Best Villain.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was also honored, picking up the Generation Award. After a choreographed Samoan dance to Queen's "We Will Rock You", the star emerged and delivered a moving speech about authenticity. “What you saw here tonight, that's who I am. I'm proudly half-black and half-Samoan and I wanted to bring those cultures here for the world to see" said Johnson. "While yes, it's important to be yourself, you've got to recognize the joy and the responsibility of bringing everybody with you. And you do that by being kind, by being compassionate, by being inclusive and straight up just being good to people because that matters.”
