New York, NY (March 24, 2016) - MTV announced today that it will honor Will Smith with the Generation Award during the "2016 MTV Movie Awards." Smith, the epitome of the modern movie star, broke onto the scene with Independence Day and Bad Boys. He has been conquering box offices ever since, with titles like Men in Black, Ali, Concussion and the upcoming Suicide Squad, all while paving the way for leading men to be comedic, dramatic and socially conscious.

The "2016 MTV Movie Awards," hosted by Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, airs on Sunday, April 10 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT from outdoors on the Warner Bros. backlot in Burbank, Calif.

"Will Smith and MTV have grown up together and share a very cool history," said Executive Producer Casey Patterson.

From TV's 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air,' to his music and amazing movies, Will is the voice of a generation and not afraid to use it. The 25th anniversary of the 'Movie Awards' is the perfect year to honor #BIGWILLIESTYLE as only MTV can - with lots of big surprises in store."

Smith is a seventeen-time "MTV Movie Award" nominee and five-time winner, including two wins for "Best Male Performance" (I Am Legend in 2008 and Ali in 2001). He also hosted the "1994 MTV Movie Awards" when Menace II Society took home the top prize for "Movie of the Year."

The MTV Generation Award is the "Movie Awards" highest honor, acknowledging an actor who creates an amazing body of work throughout their career that speaks directly to the MTV audience. Past recipients include Robert Downey Jr., Mark Wahlberg, Jamie Foxx, Johnny Depp, Reese Witherspoon, Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Sandra Bullock, Mike Myers, Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey.
