WandaVisiontook in the most awards at the MTV Movie & TV Awards on Sunday night, and that included a big win for Kathryn Hahn. At the event, which was hosted by Leslie Jones, Hahn was up for Best Villain because of herWandaVisionrole as Agatha Harkness. Taking in the win, Hahn’s award is one of four award wins pulled in byWandaVisionat the event out of six total nominations.
Because Hahn’s performance asAgatha Harknesswas so unforgettable, it’s not a big shocker to see her win the Best Villain award. Even so, the other nominees are very well-deserving, so there was no guarantee Hahn would win. The other nominees for the Best Villain award included Aya Cash (The Boys), Giancarlo Esposito (The Mandalorian), Nicholas Hoult (The Great), and Ewan McGregor (Birds of Prey).
Meanwhile, Hahn’s co-starElizabeth Olsen also snagged a hugewin for Best Performance in a Show. Their “Wanda vs. Agatha” fight also won the Best Fight award withWandaVisiontaking in the win for Best Show - beating out other popular programs likeThe Boys,Bridgerton,Cobra Kai, andEmily in Paris. Teyonah Parris was also nominated for Best Hero and “Agatha All Along” was up for Best Musical Moment.
We may not have seen the last of Agatha in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After the success ofWandaVision, Hahn made it clear that she’d be up for returning to the role, though she couldn’t say if and when the character will ever return.
“I have no idea [when Agatha will return]. They keep it really tight,“Kathryn Hahntold The New York Times in March. “I want to [return]. Now that I have a taste of it, I’m like,ahh. I really, really love it.”
In another interview with Entertainment Weekly, series director Matt Shakman said of theAgatha All Along song: “Originally you had, ‘That’s So Agatha.’ [That] was sort of the idea for [the song]. I remember Kristen saying, ‘We’ve been toying around with Agatha All Along.’ And we thought, great, awesome! Then we had several chats about what, exactly, Agatha had been doing all along so that they could be more specific with it. Then I just remember that Munsters meets Oompa-Loompa song coming in and being like, ‘Oh my God, this is the best thing ever.'”
