Netflix’s “Stranger Things” took home the honor for best show.
“Stranger Things” premiered in 2016 and centers around the lives of four friends, along with a girl named Eleven, who has supernatural powers. They live in Hawkins, Indiana, in the 1980s and a good portion of the show follows their adventures in another realm referred to as the Upside Down.
Netflix announced in December that the show is coming back for a third season, but a release date has not yet been announced.
“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” star Chris Pratt received MTV’s Generation Award.
“The Chi” creator Lena Waithe received the Trailblazer Award and took a moment to honor a few other innovators.
Waithe dedicated her award to the stars of “Paris is Burning,” a documentary highlighting the drag scene in New York in the 1980s. “A lot of people featured in this film are no longer with us, but their legacies will never die, because they live on in all of us,” Waithe said.
