The Netflix teen romance To All The Boys: Always And Forever was named best movie.

In the gender-neutral individual categories, WandaVision star Elizabeth Olsen won best performance in a show for her portrayal of the avenger Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.

Elsewhere, Scarlett Johansson was covered in slime by her husband, Saturday Night Live comedian Colin Jost, while remotely accepting the generation award.

Sacha Baron Cohen rolled out some of his best-known characters while accepting the comic genius award.

He accepted the prize as the Kazakhstani journalist Borat, before being interrupted by the wannabe gangster Ali G.
