Last night, MTV aired its “Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time” special. There weren’t any nominees, they just picked the GOATs in several categories. And they were:
Hero for the Ages: Chadwick Boseman. He was honored by Marvel co-stars Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle.
She-Ro Award: Gal Gadot. Probably more for “Wonder Woman” than for that “Imagine” video.
Zero to Hero: William Zabka from “The Karate Kid” and “Cobra Kai”. . . who did an amazing roast of MTV as his clueless character Johnny Lawrence.
Legendary Lip Lock: Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair in “Cruel Intentions”. They tried to recreate that kiss . . . but COVID put a damper on it. (FYI, Selma looks and sounds wonderful. Screw you, M.S.!!!)
Dynamic Duo: Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, from “The Wedding Singer”, “50 First Dates”, and “Blended”.
