2021 SmashTV Awards

The 2021 SmashTV Awards are set to air on April 23, 2021 on MTV, MTV 2, MTV Classic, Comedy Central, BET, Paramount Network (formerly Spike), VH1, Boomerang, Cartoon Network, and SmashTV Network. The ceremony was originally going to take place on February 26 2021, but was delayed to April 23 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Kenan Thompson & Kel Mitchell will host the ceremony, which will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Eddie Murphy was originally going to host the ceremony, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.

The ceremony will take a similar approach to the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards and be held in a remote format, with Thompson, Mitchell, and some guest presenters & performers making on-stage appearances while nominees/presenters/performers will either appear in-ceremony, on the SmashTV set, or at home, depending on their choice. Fans are allowed to attend the ceremony, though with social distancing guidelines in place.

Winners & Nominees
The nominees were announced on February 2 2021, with voting on MTV.com set to open a month later on March 1.
