\"\"Zendaya dominated the MTV Movie and TV Awards on Sunday as her teen drama “Euphoria” and big-screen superhero blockbuster “Spider-Man: No Way Home” were voted best show and best movie respectively.<\/p>\n

The light-hearted awards, taking place at the start of the summer blockbuster season, are voted for online by the public, and underscored the huge popularity of the 25-year-old former Disney child star.<\/p>\n

Zendaya won best performance in a show for “Euphoria,” HBO's often bleak and hard-hitting look at modern teen life, which also won offbeat awards for “best fight” and a new award for the best on-screen “hookup.”<\/p>\n

The MTV awards have long bestowed tongue-in-cheek “golden popcorn” statuettes for categories ranging from “best kiss” to “most frightened performance.”<\/p>\n

With obsessive fans encouraged to vote multiple times for their favorites, the awards tend to recognize mainstream and commercial hits with large and devoted social media followings.<\/p>\n

It was little surprise therefore that “Spider-Man: No Way Home” — by far the biggest box office hit since the pandemic — won best movie.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0film\u00a0has earned almost $1.9 billion worldwide, and is the third-biggest hit for domestic theaters ever.<\/p>\n

It also won best performance in a movie for Zendaya's on-screen and real-life boyfriend Tom Holland, who plays the latest incarnation of the web slinging superhero — although neither attended the ceremony in Santa Monica, near Los Angeles, in person.<\/p>\n

Lending some A-list stardust to the room, Jennifer Lopez was presented a non-competitive “Generation Award.”<\/p>\n

She thanked “true love” before telling her fiance Ben Affleck “and everybody at home” that she was on her way back for dinner.<\/p>\n

Lopez also won best song, for “On My Way (Marry Me),” while 19-year-old multiple Grammy winner Olivia Rodrigo won best music documentary “Olivia Rodrigo: driving home 2 u.”<\/p>\n

Jack Black was also honored by MTV for his career on Sunday. The 52-year-old attempted an energetic entrance, somersaulting on stage to youthful cheers from the audience, before breathlessly calling for “a little blast of oxygen.”<\/p>\n

Daniel Radcliffe, who won best villain for adventure comedy “The Lost City,” joked that his British accent had made his evil turn a breeze.<\/p>\n

“This is a universally recognized accent of pure evil,” he said.<\/p>\n

“This is a voice that would kick a puppy or not give Oliver Twist more food.<\/p>\n

“I really should thank my parents most for just having the foresight, all those years ago, to have me be British, so that I could grow up sounding naturally evil enough to one day win this award.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
