Jones says she was avoiding getting the vaccine until MTV asked her to in order to host the MTV Movie & TV Awards. “I was like, ‘I gotta be sage so let me just go bite the bullet," she says. Jones adds that she'll be avoiding pandemic jokes. She also doesn't want the winners' speeches to drag on like at the Oscars. “They looked like hostages with someone standing on the side with a gun or something," she says of the recent Oscar ceremony. "When it gets down to Glenn Close doing ‘Da Butt’ being the most exciting thing, we have lost ourselves. I’m not mad at it, but it just shouldn’t have been the most exciting thing that happened that night.”
