'No way The Kardashians actually beat Jersey Shore'
Internet was furious after 'The Kardashians' won the award at the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards. A user said, "I was watching the #mtvmovieandtvawards — and then The Kardashians won. Really?! Over #JSFamilyVacation? Please. #MTVAwards." Another user wrote, "A boring episode of Love & Hip Hop will always be better than Keeping up with the Kardashians #MTVAwards." Some users compared the show with the fellow nominees and clearly expressed their disappointment, "Fans are clearly not picking the winners because no way did the Kardashians actually beat @JerseyShore #MTVAwards." Another disappointed user said, "So the MTV awards are so weak this year they are just showing clips from previous award shows. Also not having 90 day Fiancee nominated for reality is a joke. Then you give it to the Kardashians and they didn't even show up to accept." An angry user wrote, "RuPaul’s Drag Race should’ve won not Keeping Up with the Kardashians #MTVAwards."

Drew Barrymore opted not to host the event in support of the Writers Guild of America's strike this week, which involved over 11,000 members. Members had no choice but to go on strike after failed negotiations for a new three-year contract between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Although Barrymore's absence from hosting was lamented by the audience, many complimented her for making a stand and championing the authors' cause.
