MTV Movie Award for Best Villain

This is a following list of the MTV Movie Award winners and nominees for Best Villain. In 2012, the award was renamed Best On-Screen Dirt Bag, though the Best Villain moniker was reinstated the following year. Two of the winners (Denzel Washington and Heath Ledger) also won Academy Awards for their performances. In 1999, Best Villain had a tie for Matt Dillon and Stephen Dorff. Aaliyah and Heath Ledger in 2002 and 2009 respectively were both posthumously nominated (Ledger posthumously won too). Daniel Radcliffe is the first recipient to win both this and Best Hero. Dwayne Johnson, Ewan McGregor and Tom Cruise have each received nominations in both categories, but never won in either. In 2017, when the award became the MTV Movie & TV Award for Best Villain, Jeffrey Dean Morgan was the first TV recipient to win.
