The Force Awakens Brings Home the Popcorn from MTV Movie Awards
On Sunday night, the MTV Movie Awards took place, and just like every year, the winners of each award took home a shiny new popcorn. This year, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the stars of the film were up for some awards, and this is how they did…

- Creed
- Deadpool
- Jurassic World
- Star Wars: The Force Awakens
- Straight Outta Compton
