BURBANK, Calif.— “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” took the top prize at the 25th annual MTV Movie Awards.
The audience at Warner Bros. Studios waved what looked like red and blue lightsabers as star Daisy Ridley and director J.J. Abrams accepted the final golden popcorn trophy at Saturday night’s ceremony.
The prize capped off the irreverent awards show, which presents fan-voted film awards and touts upcoming releases.
Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart hosted the show, opening it “Mad Max” style by riding through Warner Bros. Studios strapped to the front of a tricked-out truck. Later, they performed a rap song about the year’s films that repeated the refrain “Leo got (expletive) by a bear” in reference to “The Revenant.”
