Here’s everything you need to know.

What are the MTV Awards?

The annual MTV Awards celebrates fans’ favourite shows, stars and films.

The ceremony has two halves; one looking at scripted shows and a second unscripted shows.

The awards are known for unusual categories, such as Best Kiss, Here for the Hookup and Most Frightened Performance, and also the quirky golden popcorn bucket trophies.

This year’s ceremony took place on Sunday 5 June at the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, California, and was hosted by High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens.

It featured DJ music from rapper Snoop Dogg and performances from Diplo and Swae Lee, who teamed up for a musical tribute to Elvis Presley.

What awards did Jennifer Lopez and Jack Black win?

Lopez was given the generation award and Black was honoured with the accolade for comedic genius.

Actress and singer Lopez read out “a different kind of list” of thank yous including “disappointment and failure” as she accepted her award.

“You’re only as good as the people you work with, and if you’re lucky they make you better. And I have been very lucky in that regard,” she said, becoming visibly emotional.

“Thank all those people who give me this life, who broke my heart… thank you to disappointment and failure… and my children for teaching me to love.”

She added: “I want to thank all the people who told me, to my face or when I wasn’t in the room, that I couldn’t do this. I really don’t think I could have done this without you.”

Black was dressed as a panda when he went onstage to accept his prize.

The actor and comedian performed a forward roll and danced around the stage before speaking.

He said: “Comedy genius are you kidding, for what? It’s ridiculous, I don’t deserve it but I will take it. Thank you, MTV.”

He added: “This is for all the school of rockers and all the Tenacious D disciples.”
