Drew Barrymore—who has been promoting her role as host of the MTV Movie & TV Awards for more than a month—stepped down from the gig on Thursday in support of the ongoing Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike. (She did, however, agree to host next year’s telecast instead.) “I have listened to the writers, and in order to truly respect them, I will pivot from hosting the MTV Movie & TV Awards live in solidarity with the strike,” Barrymore said in a statement.
