Just a few months before Scarlett Johansson returns to the big screen as Black Widow, she adds another accolade to her resume as she virtually receives the Generation Award at the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards but just as she was about to finish her acceptance speech, her husband, Colin Jost, poured her green slime.

Scarlett Johansson has been in the film and television industry for more than three decades. She thanked all the collaborations that she has done over the years and she shared that the award she holds are for those people she worked with over the years. Johansson also gave her gratitude to fans who were there to support her along the way. Just as she was talking about a sneak peek of the culmination of her ten years of work, her husband, Colin Jost, pulled off the prank.

Much to her shock and to the laugh of the fans after seeing the prank of her husband, the couple had a funny exchange wherein Jost said, "MTV, you got slimed!" Johansson clapped back saying, "that's Nickelodeon," and her husband was quick to apologize and even gave her a towel afterward. When asked where he bought the slime, Jost responded that he got it from "Amazon."

The Generation Award that Scarlett Johansson received this year is given to actors who have contributed diversely in both the film and television industry that earned them a spot to be known as a household name. She received her award virtually. In 2018 and 2019, she was considered the highest-paid actress in the world.

Johansson is known for portraying various roles in different genres, most recently in her films Marriage Story, Jojo Rabbit, and Black Widow in the MCU. Johansson's co-actors in the MCU also won big with WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier taking home various awards.

Johansson returns to the MCU as she reprises her role as Black Widow in her titular film premiering in a theatrical release on July 9, 2021.
