Fusing the network's musical core with the wonder, scale and energy of the movie-going experience, the telecast is set to provide more laughs, surprises and one-of-a-kind moments with Hollywood's biggest stars gathering to honor fan-favorites from the past year and beyond.

"Just as Jesse has done with our 'Video Music Awards', we know he'll infuse this year's 'Movie Awards' with creative, musical and cinematic elements that fully tap into the sense of awe our audience experiences in a movie theater," said Stephen Friedman, President of MTV. "In his inspired hands, this year's show will be re-imagined to deliver a telecast that reflects our audiences' favorite films, music and stars."

In addition, its convergent programming & content will reach the entire interactive community, via MTV's more than 200 digital media properties around the world.

Jesse Ignjatovic of Den of Thieves has served as executive producer for the "MTV Video Music Awards" for the past five years, including the "2011 Video Music Awards" that scored MTV's biggest audience in the network's history.
