- Comedian Tiffany Haddish hosted the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards.
"Black Panther" received the highest honor of the night — best movie.
The film's stars, Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan and Winston Duke, accepted the award and thanked the fans.
"It's incredible when you -- when the stereotype used to be people of color couldn't bring y'all out to the theater and be able to make these types of films. And bring this type of impact to you guys," Jordan said. "So the fact that we were able to do this on this scale, with this movie and this project, means the world to us. So we appreciate y'all support."
Duke thanked fans for not only investing their time in the movie, but "investing in a continued conversation for what this industry and what this culture could achieve. And what we all can aspire to be."
Netflix's "Stranger Things" took home the honor for best show.
"Stranger Things" premiered in 2016 and centers around the lives of four friends, along with a girl named Eleven, who has supernatural powers. They live in Hawkins, Indiana, in the 1980s and a good portion of the show follows their adventures in another realm referred to as the Upside Down.
"Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" star Chris Pratt received MTV's Generation Award, and opted to impart some wisdom to his younger fans during his speech.
"This is what I call nine rules from Chris Pratt, generation award winner," he said.
"The Chi" creator Lena Waithe received the Trailblazer Award and took a moment to honor a few other innovators.
Waithe dedicated her award to the stars of "Paris is Burning," a documentary highlighting the drag scene in New York in the 1980s.
"A lot of people featured in this film are no longer with us, but their legacies will never die, because they live on in all of us," Waithe said.
Rapper and actor Common, who introduced Waithe, said she mentors hundreds of young writers.
She gives "a chance to fresh, new voices, forging a new path so maybe one day there'll be more than one black, lesbian writer like herself accepting awards onstage," he said.
Michael B. Jordan, who won for best villain for his role in "Black Panther," took a jab at comedian Roseanne Barr.
The cancellation stunned Hollywood. Industry veterans said they've never seen anything quite like it. The revival of "Roseanne" premiered to huge ratings just three months ago. Pre-production was already underway on a second season, which was scheduled for Tuesdays at 8 p.m. this fall.
Nick Robinson and Keiynan Lonsdale won tonight's coveted "Best Kiss" award for their embrace in "Love, Simon."
Lonsdale accepted the award and urged kids to live their dreams.
"I just want to say to every kid, if you can live your dreams and wear dresses, you can live your dreams -- you can live your dreams and kiss the one that you love no matter what gender they are," Lonsdale said.
"Black Panther" star Chadwick Boseman gave his best hero award to a man he called a "real life" hero.
"Receiving an award for playing a superhero is amazing," Boseman said. "But it's even greater to acknowledge the heroes that we have in real life. So I just want to acknowledge somebody that's here today, James Shaw Jr."
He told Shaw: "You saved lives. So, this is gonna live at your house."
Tiffany Haddish took a moment in her opening monologue to recognize the many firsts this year, including her own as the first black woman to host the MTV Movie & TV Awards.
"It's been a year of firsts for black people," she said. "I'm the first black woman to host the MTV Movie and TV Awards.
Comedian Tiffany Haddish started tonight's MTV Movie & TV Awards show by going after the Kardashians.
