After Drew Barrymore drops out as host, MTV Awards show won't be "live event"
CBSN
In the wake of Drew Barrymore's decision to drop out as host of the upcoming MTV Movie & TV Awards — as a show of solidarity for striking Hollywood writers — organizers have decided that Sunday's show will no longer be in a "live event" format.
The news also comes after the Writer's Guild of America announced Friday afternoon that it planned to picket outside the show, which was slated to be held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.
In a statement provided to CBS News Friday night, Bruce Gillmer, president of music, talent, programming and events for Paramount Global, said the show will be "pivoting away from a live event that still enables us to produce a memorable night full of exclusive sneak peaks, irreverent categories our audience has come to expect, and countless moments that will both surprise and delight as we honor the best of film and TV over the past year."
