At the first MTV Movie Awards in 1992, which on-screen pair won Best Kiss for My Girl?

The story behind the answer

At the first MTV Movie Awards in 1992, Anna Chlumsky and Macaulay Culkin won Best Kiss for My Girl.

The award recognized the young actors’ on-screen kiss in the 1991 coming-of-age film, directed by Howard Zieff. Chlumsky played Vada Sultenfuss, while Culkin played Thomas J. Sennett, her close friend. Their relationship is central to the film’s story, which follows Vada’s childhood, family life, and growing understanding of love and loss.

The MTV Movie Awards, later known as the MTV Movie & TV Awards, were created as a more informal counterpart to traditional film ceremonies. Categories such as Best Kiss emphasized memorable, audience-friendly moments rather than only conventional acting or production achievements.

A common mix-up is confusing this result with later Best Kiss winners, including the famous smooches from Titanic, Spider-Man, and The Notebook. The 1992 prize belongs specifically to Chlumsky and Culkin for My Girl.
