Mila Kunis & Kristen Bell Are Presenting At The MTV Movie & TV Awards & Honestly, I Can't Wait
Is it June 18 yet? IS IT?!? I'm not normally in the habit of wishing Memorial Day Weekend away, but OMG you guys, I'm just so pumped for the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards. The roster for this year's show is beyond stacked — Mustard and Nick Jonas (and his seriously impressive biceps) will perform their new single "Anywhere" for the first time in its entirety. Chloe x Halle will rock the stage for a medley of "The Kids Are Alright" and "Warrior" from their debut album. And the list of MTV Movie & TV Awards presenters is pretty much straight fire. Both Mila Kunis and Kristin Bell will be there — YAS, queens! — as will Michael B. Jordan, Seth Rogen, Zendaya, Gina Rodriguez, and Common, with additional names to be announced at a later date, not that we even need them with this awesome crew already in the house!
I really hope Bell and Kunis come out together because I really dig their chemistry in Bad Moms. But the icing on the cake, of course, is the fact that 1) Hottie Chris Pratt will be receiving this year’s Generation Award; 2) Screenwriter and producer Lena Waithe will pick up the Trailblazer Award, and 3) The whole thing will be hosted by Tiffany Haddish at the Barker Hangar in Los Angeles, so you know it's going to be epic!
The comedy queen shared the big news on Feb. 22 by posting a video on her Instagram feed. "I'm gonna be hosting the MTV Movie and TV Awards," she says in the clip. "June 18th, check it out. Monday night. It’s gonna be off the chain, and you know why? I’m hosting! And you know what that means — it’s gonna be hilarious."
I don't doubt it for a single second! I mean, did you see her "Gettin' Ready" promo for the show yet? The one where's she's prepping by quizzing herself with a bunch of cue cards that have the names of some popular TV shows and movies written on them?
"This Is Us," the first one reads. Haddish's response? "Jack's dead. Spoiler Alert."
"It," says the second card. "Scary *ss clown," she quips.
"Riverdale," a third card reads. "So many redheads," comes the response.
And so on. Just watch and you'll see what I mean.
She ready? Well, guess what, Tiff? SO AM I!
