Scarlett Johansson got a faceful of slime at the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards on Sunday evening after her husband Colin Jost mistook the ceremony for the Kids’ Choice Awards.
Scarlett was accepting the Generation Award for an impressive body of work going back to when she was just a teenager, until her SNL star husband hilarious ruined the moment.
‘Thank you so much for this award,’ the actress began. ‘Watching that reel, it reminds me of all the incredibly inspiring collaborators that I’ve been fortunate enough to work with for over three decades.’
Shocker: Scarlett Johansson got a faceful of slime at the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards on Sunday evening after her husband Colin Jost mistook the ceremony for the Kids’ Choice Awards
But as she thanked her fans for supporting her career, the camera angle changed to show Colin in the background as he brought up a bowl of thick green slime and poured it over her head.
She stopped in shock before shouting, ‘What the f***?!’
‘MTV! You get slimed!’ he shouted back.
‘That’s f***ing Nickeloden!’ an angry Scarlett replied as he said he was ‘very sorry.’
She asked where he even found the slime as he started to sheepishly back away.
‘Amazon,’ he replied, before adding, ‘Love you.’
Oh no: Scarlett was accepting the Generation Award for an impressive body of work, but her SNL comic husband snuck up behind her with a bowl of green slime

She played an Urkel-like character in the Family Matters parody Leslie Matters.
Another parody poked fun at The Jeffersons, with her taking the lead.

Best Kiss went out to Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline for their Netflix series Outer Banks.
Fittingly, they gave a repeat performance for the audience.
Winning the award for best fight were Elizabeth Olsen and Kathryn Hahn, who starred in Disney+’s WandaVision as Wanda and Agatha.

They also mimed a fight without the help of professionals, which looked incredibly fake and low-impact.
Anthony Mackie returned to the stage afterward when he and his costar Sebastian Stan won Best Duo for The Falcon And The Winter Soldier, though his partner in crime wasn’t able to join him.
He concluded his speech by joking that he was unemployed now.
