Los Angeles, Jun 19: 'Black Panther' roared at this year's MTV Movie and TV Awards as the film went on to bag top honours, including Best Movie, while 'Stranger Things' was adjudged the Best Show at the ceremony.

The Ryan Coogler-directed film also won three other big awards - including 'Best Performance in a Movie' and 'Best Hero' for Chadwick Boseman's performance as 'T'Challa/ Black Panther'. Micheal B Jordan's portrayal as Erik Killmonger in the film won him the title of 'Best Villain'.

The 'Best Movie' award was presented by Lady Gaga, who made a surprise appearance at the show. She then announced the award would go to 'Black Panther'.

Boseman, Jordan and Winston Duke (M'Baku) came on to the stage to accept the award.

"Thank you all for investing in not just a beautiful story, but investing in a continued conversation in what this industry and what this culture could achieve - and what we all can aspire to be," Duke said.

Boseman dedicated his 'Best Hero' award to real-life "true hero", James Shaw Jr, an American man known for disarming a gunman during the Nashville Waffle House shooting in Antioch, Tennessee and saving lives.

With three trophies, 'Stranger Things' emerged the second biggest winner.

Actor Millie Bobby Brown from the Netflix series won the award for Best Performance in a Show. Her co-star Noah Schnapp scored the win for the Most Frightened Performance.

Brown, who could not attend the show due to a broken kneecap, addressed the audience through a pre-taped video message in which she made a powerful speech against bullying.

"I was taught, if you don't have anything nice to say, just don't say it. There should be no space in this world for bullying, and I'm not going to tolerate it and neither should any you. If you need a reminder of how well you are and to rise above the hate, message me on Instagram," she said.

The actor's remarks come days after she quit social media due to online bullying.

For a second consecutive year, both categories were gender-neutral.

The Best Fight win was scored by 'Wonder Woman' for the scene in which Gal Gadot's 'Wonder Woman' faces off against German soldiers in the battlefield.

Lady Gaga's 'Gaga: Five Foot Two' won the laurel for the Best Music Documentary.

"I love you little monsters so much! And, Happy Pride Month! I just have one problem, I recently found out that I am actually five-foot-three and three quarters … I am so, so sorry, but thank you so much," she said in her acceptance speech.

'Master of None' co-writer-actor Lena Waithe accepted the Trailblazer Award, who dedicated the honour to the 1990 documentary 'Paris Is Burning" that introduced her to trailblazers such as Pepper LaBeija, Dorian Corey, Angie Xtravaganza and Willi Ninja.

"Avengers: Infinity War" star Chris Pratt received the Generation Award and spoke to the next generation as their 'elder' and then went on to offer his 'Nine Rules from Chris Pratt, Generation Award Winner'.

The show was hosted by Tiffany Haddish, who made history by becoming the first African American to have headlined the event. She also took home the prize for Best Comedic Performance for 'Girls Trip'.

The cast of 'It' received the award for Best Onscreen Team.

Madelaine Petsch from 'Riverdale' bagged the Scene Stealer award for her portrayal as Cheryl Blossom in the show.

The 'Best Kiss' award was shared by Nick Robinson and Keiynan Lonsdale for 'Love, Simon' film. 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' was adjudged the Best Reality Series/Franchise and mother-daughter duo Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian were present to collect the award.

Mumbai, Jul 2: The Mumbai police have summoned noted filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali for questioning in connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput suicide case. According to several reports, casting director Shanoo Sharma too might be questioned in connection with the star’s death.

Reports also state that Kangana Ranaut and Shekhar Kapur, who are not directly involved with the investigation, are likely to be asked to record their statements.

The development comes days after the cops had asked for the details of SSR’s contract with Yashraj Films. The MS Dhoni actor had starred in Shuddh Desi Romance and Detective Byomkesh Bakshi, which were backed by the banner. He was supposed to team up with YRF for Paani, directed by Kapur, but the movie was on hold due to creative differences between the Mr India helmer and the production house.

Sushant died by suicide on June 14, leaving his near and dear ones in a state of shock. Following his demise, fans alleged that several Bollywood biggies had tried to sabotage his career as he was an ‘outsider’, reigniting the nepotism debate.

SSR, who hailed from Patna, made an impact in the TV industry before entering Bollywood with the sleeper hit Kai Po Che. He impressed fans with his performances in PK and Shuddh Desi Romance, consolidating his standing in the industry. It was, however, MS Dhoni that established him as a bankable star. Chhichore was his last theatrical release before his death. Drive, backed by Karan Johar, released directly on Netflix. His last film Dil Bechara is slated to release on Disney+ Hotstar on July 24.
