MTV Movie and TV Awards 2021 was done in two parts:
the main show, which was held at the Palladium in Los Angeles on May 17th,
and the “Unscripted part,” which made up of all the awards for unscripted media
(e.g., documentaries, reality shows, etc.) was held the following day. Comedians
and actresses Leslie Jones and Nikki Glaser hosted this year’s awards night.
Break the Silence: The Movie – a BTS 2020 documentary
was nominated for and eventually won the award. It was directed by Park Jun Soo
and was released in September 2020, the said documentary takes us on the behind-the-scenes
of their 2018-2019 world tour, the Love Yourself World Tour. This 90-minute
documentary covered footage taken over the course of 14 months and previously
released on Weverse as Break The Silence. BTS’s documentary won against several
other big artists, such as Billie Eilish, The Notorious B.I.G., Taylor Swift
and more…
During the “Unscripted” portion of the show, BTS was
announced the winner with the Awards’ official Twitter page sharing a clip of
the group thanking MTV and their fans, ARMY, and briefly talked about the world
tour that was included in the “Break the Silence: The Movie.”
