Find Out about the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards
Not only is
MTV changing up its annual Movie Awards by adding TV, the network is also
changing the way it goes about giving the Generation Award.
An individual actor would receive the award,
but this year the Fast & Furious franchise will be the recipient! Star and
producer Vin Diesel will accept the award on behalf of record-breaking
franchise, alongside his co-stars Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson and Jordana
Brewster. Additionally, J Balvin, Camila Cabello and Pitbull will take to the
stage to perform their hit single "Hey Ma," which is featured in The
Fate of the Furious.
Hosted by
comedian Adam Devine, the telecast will air live on Sunday, May 7, at 8:00 p.m.
ET/PT from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
MTV
