The MTV Movie & TV Awards took place last night, but they won’t air until tomorrow. That means, a lot of celebrities who were in attendance have already taken to social media to post about the evening. One such person is Dwayne Johnson AKA The Rock, the night’s winer of the Icon Generation Award. The actor shared a behind-the-scenes video from the event in which he gives a shout-out to the people who helped make the night possible.
