Euphoria's Cassie & Maddy Win 'Best Fight' At MTV Awards
“Maddy might have gotten the last punch, but Cassie has never, ever been happier,” Sydney Sweeney said upon accepting the award.
This year’s MTV Movie & TV Awards added a few new categories — including the cheeky “Best Fight” Award, with scenes like the epic bus fight from Shang-Chi contending for the spot. It’s unsurprising, though, that the year’s most talked-about scuffle — Cassie vs. Maddy in Season 2 of Euphoria — cinched the crown.
Twitter went increasingly wild for each episode of Euphoria this season, making the series one of HBO Max’s most-watched, ever. But it was Cassie Howard’s (Sydney Sweeney) betrayal of her hot-tempered best friend Maddy Perez (Alexa Demie), by way of sleeping with her abusive ex-boyfriend, Nate (Jacob Elordi), that spawned the most memes. The chaotic fight started on stage during the surreal play put on by Lexi (Maude Apatow), and ended with Maddy chasing Cassie as the two clawed at each other. It was pure camp (and Twitter gold).
Accepting the award, Sweeney said, “I wish Alexa was here so that she could thank the amazing fans that we have, because you all are so incredible. But I have to be honest, Maddy might have gotten the last punch, but Cassie has never, ever been happier.”
Euphoria, which led the ceremony in nominations, took home several other awards, including Best Show, Best Performance (Zendaya), Best Kiss (Hunter Schafer & Dominic Fike), and Here For The Hookup. The night was hosted by Vanessa Hudgens, who appeared in her own Euphoria-related sketch.
