Drew Barrymore has pulled out of hosting the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards just days ahead of the live show., however, she remains on good terms with MTV as she agreed upon returning as host for the 2024 awards show.on Thursday. Producers have been busy making changes to the live ceremony- part of their strike contingency plans- such as taking away the pre-show red carpet, including interviews with the stars.
Despite Barrymore’s absence from the show, she’s still expected to make virtual appearances in several short films that were pre-taped for the telecast.“Drew, without question, she’s been incredible. It’s hard to imagine that we’ve ever had a better experience with a host,” said Bruce Gillmer, the president of music, music talent, programming and events at Paramount Global. “She’s more of a partner really, she’s in it every day, just super passionate and super engaged and creative.
Gillmer added that the show will be “super respectful of the talents’ decisions to either be involved in pre-tapes, show up or not show up, whatever they decide.”Part of their backup plans include coverage from “athletes and celebrity chefs and all kinds of other talent that are not squarely affected [by the strike]. So we’ll be going down that road,” Gillmer explained. “We will be looking for some live talent in the room to help tell the story, but not host segments per se.
