The 2010 MTV Movie Awards was the 19th annual ceremony which took place on June 6, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. Aziz Ansari served as a host for the 19th annual ceremony.^[1] Voting the nominees began from a list of eligible contestants on March 29, 2010, and ended on April 9, 2010. The nominees itself were announced on May 12, 2010, and the winners were voted by the public.^[2]

MTV, MTV2, and VH1 all broadcast the ceremony simultaneously; the three networks combined for a viewership of 5.8 million, down from 5.9 million viewers last year.^[3]

The show has gained some controversy for constantly using the term "fuck" and its derivatives by its presenters and Peter Facinelli, who accepted the Best Movie award. A number of them were not muted because of its live broadcast.^[4] Parents Television Council president Tim Winter, responding to the program's TV-14 rating, stated: "It is an outrage to the content rating system. If it had been a motion picture, it would have been rated R. The fact that it was rated 14 shows what little respect MTV and Viacom have for the content ratings."^[5][6]
