Which MTV award ceremony first used the category Best Kiss in 1992?

The story behind the answer

The MTV Movie Awards first used the category Best Kiss in 1992.

The inaugural MTV Movie Awards ceremony was held on June 10, 1992, at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. Unlike traditional film awards, the ceremony emphasized popular movie moments and playful categories, including Best Kiss, Best Fight, and Best Villain.

Best Kiss became one of the event’s signature awards because it recognized a specific on-screen moment rather than an entire film or performance. Winners have often recreated or celebrated the winning kiss onstage, making the category part of the ceremony’s entertainment format.

The event was originally devoted to films and was called the MTV Movie Awards. In 2017, MTV expanded its scope and renamed it the MTV Movie & TV Awards, adding television categories.
