MTV has given one of their premier annual events a facelift, as the MTV Movie Awards now become the MTV Movie & TV Awards.
The inaugural telecast will air live on Sunday, May 7.
The new format will now include separate categories for TV in addition to film.
Another rule change sees actors in both media competing against one another for the same awards.
The network has also broken down the gender wall with exclusively non-gendered categories -- meaning Emma Watson will go up against Hugh Jackman for top performance honors.
Five new categories make this year's telecast, as MTV hopes to highlight cultural relevancy in today's society.
