It was good news for Scarlett Johansson on Sunday night as she accepted the 2021 MTV Generation Award.

Appearing at the event virtually, Scarlett thanked the cast and crew members she has worked with over her three-decade-long career, as well as the fans who'd made it all possible.

"Thank you so much for this honor!" she began her acceptance speech. "Watching that reel reminds me of all of the incredibly inspiring collaborators that I've been fortunate enough to work with for over three decades."

"I never would've been able to continue to evolve as an actor for the last 30 years without the support and dedication of so many cast and crew members that make up the nomadic traveling circus family that are movie sets," the Black Widow actor continued. "The dedication and hard work of so many people that goes into making any movie continues to inspire me as performer. So, this award really belongs to many hundreds of creative people all over the world."

The 36-year-old added: "And thank you so much to my fans for riding the wave with me and for supporting my career so I can continue to have the good fortune to pursue the job that is my passion."

"I realize what an absolute gift it is to be able to have the opportunity to do what I love, and I couldn't do it without your continued support," she went on. "This award is made possible by all of you, in fact, and it's because of that that it's so meaningful to me."

However, as Scarlett went to introduce a sneak peek of Black Widow, her highly anticipated stand-alone Avengers movie, she was interrupted by husband Colin Jost as the pair acted out a comedy skit.

Or maybe it was actually real and not at all staged, I don't know!

Seemingly getting the event mixed up with the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, Colin dunked a bowl of green slime over Scarlett's head while she was talking.

And let's just say it didn't go down very well...

"What the fuck?!" Scarlett yelped as Colin realized that this was not in fact the Kids' Choice Awards.

And she didn't seem all that impressed when Colin brought her a towel and tried to apologize either!

Don't worry, Scarlett โ€” it could've been worse!
