17 of the Best Behind-the-Scenes Instagrams Taken at the MTV Movie Awards
1/19Although they didn’t air until Sunday, April 10, the 2016 MTV Movie Awards were held on Saturday, April 9 in Burbank, California. The ceremony, hosted by Kevin Hart and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, honored many celebs and films, but it could definitely be said that Star Wars was the highlight of the evening, with 11 nominations and 3 major awards. The star-studded red carpet was filled with flashy gowns, light sabers, and onesies. (Yes, onesies.) But why settle for a professional red carpet photo when you can see the show from the stars' point of view? Ahead, see the best Instagrams from the event.
2/19Rebel Wilson
Rebel Wilson was nominated for Best Comedic Performance, and was part of the Best Ensemble winners for Pitch Perfect 2. She also received an award for Best Kiss, along with Pitch Perfect 2 co-star Adam DeVine. But the true win of the night? Dueling Zac Efron in a lightsaber battle.
3/19Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande’s pink satin Michael Costello gown was the subject of many ‘grams of the night, as she channeled “old Hollywood” with her feather boa and diamond necklace. Hey, you know what they say about girls' best friends...
4/19Daisy Ridley
Not only did Daisy Ridley win the award for Best Breakthrough Performance, but she also got to celebrate her birthday by attending an award ceremony and winning big — and wearing the sweetest Chanel dress ever.
5/19O'Shea Jackson Jr.
It was also a big night for the cast of Straight Outta Compton — the film won the True Story award, which celebrates the movies based on real-life happenings. O’Shea Jackson Jr. posted this artsy black-and-white pic while hanging out with Charlize Theron during the awards.
6/19Kevin Hart
Before hitting the stage as one of the hosts of the evening, Kevin Hart took a moment to Instagram this adorable moment with his son. Can we get a collective, “Awww?”
7/19The Rock
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson shared a video a few hours before the ceremony to show off the gloomy weather outside. Despite the rain, both he and Kevin Hart seemed to be in good spirits. After all, “the show must go on!”
8/19Emilia Clarke
Emilia Clarke, who was a presenter at the awards, posed with Andy Samberg. We love Emilia’s ankle-length Miu Miu gown, which is covered in a pattern of faces. It turns out that the dress is actually a hint at the upcoming season of Game of Thrones. Hmm, intrigue!
9/19Kat Graham
We adore Kat Graham’s beauty look for the awards. The photo she posted shows off some gorgeous contouring skills and perfect brows. A click through the tags in her photo show creds to Wet n Wild Beauty and Robear Landeros, her hairstylist.
10/19Laura Marano
Speaking of beauty looks, Laura Marano’s glam is absolute eye makeup perfection. We’re really into the combination of her rose-gold eyeshadow and black eyeliner. Plus, those waves are totally on point.
11/19Sami Miró
Zac Efron and Sami Miró are definitely relationship style goals. Sami’s black sheer outfit is ultra-chic, and while we’re not entirely sure what statement Zac’s patchwork denim jacket is making, at least it’s a bold one!
12/19Jessica Chastain
It seems like everyone was grabbing photo-ops with Charlize at the awards, and Jessica Chastain certainly did not miss out! Both actresses looked dazzling in black lace dresses, and we love Jessica’s caption showing her support and love for her costar.
13/19Tyrese
Tyrese is all smiles while posing with Halle Berry and Queen Latifah — wouldn't you be?
14/19Halle Berry
Halle Berry slayed in her outfit at the awards. She wore a black and lace bodycon dress with shoulder-hugging straps. Before hitting the red carpet, she posted this moody teaser picture to her Instagram.
15/19Halsey
Halsey, who performed at the ceremony, took a moment to pose with Daisy Ridley. The singer made several wardrobe changes throughout the night, ranging from a coral two-piece number on the red carpet to the black suit and bra pictured here.
16/19Ta'Rhonda Jones
Two-pieces were one of the biggest fashion trends of the night. Empire star Ta’Rhonda Jones shared this pic-stitch of her glittery pink-and-black outfit, designed by J. Bailey.
17/19Tyler Posey
Tyler Posey was among the comfiest stars of the night as he flaunted a onesie on the red carpet. However, before the ceremony started, he tossed the onesie into the crowd, as shown in the video he posted to Instagram. There’s certainly a lucky – and cozy – fan out there!
18/19Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid
Kendall and Gigi were spotted together after the awards, post-outfit change. Both celebs sported fierce thigh-high boots, and Gigi showed off her brand new bangs at the after party.
