Spider-Man defeats The Batman at MTV Movie Awards

Spider-Man: No Way Home dominated the MTV awards last night, but it didn’t manage to win everything.

The popular awards show, the MTV Movie & TV Awards, returned this year, and superhero media dominated the categories.

Since Marvel‘s Spider-Man: No Way Home has become the sixth biggest film of all time at the box office, it was only natural that it was going to do well at the awards.

But there was some competition in the form of Matt Reeves’ The Batman, and some results during the event managed to come as quite a surprise.

What happened at the MTV Awards?

The MTV awards was hosted live on MTV by Vanessa Hudgens and Tayisha Adams.

There was a number of categories, and many well-loved celebrities managed to get their moment to shine.

What did Spider-Man: No Way Home win at the MTV Awards?

No Way Home managed to beat out The Batman along with other competitors to win the main award of the night: Best Movie. Tom Holland also beat Robert Pattinson in winning Best Performance in a Movie.

The film’s other star, Zendaya, also did well, although this was for the HBO show Euphoria, which won Best Show and Best Performance in a Show for the young actor.
