MTV awards: Hollywood stars stand with striking writers at pre-recorded ceremony

Hollywood stars pay tribute to writers in acceptance speeches amid the first major writers' strike in 15 years. The MTV Movie & TV Awards cancelled its live event at the last minute due to the strike, which calls for better pay and working conditions in the streaming era.

Jennifer Coolidge and Pedro Pascal were among the stars who acknowledged the writers' efforts for fair wages and working conditions, with Coolidge saying that she stood "side by side" with them. The strike began last week after the breakdown of talks with major studios, with over 11,000 members of the Writers Guild of America downing tools.
