An emotional Lopez was given the Generation Award. Black was honoured with the accolade for Comedic Genius.
The actress and singer read out "a different kind of list of thank-yous" including "disappointment and failure" as she accepted her award.
"You're only as good as the people that you work with, and if you're lucky they make you better. And I have been very lucky in that regard," she said, becoming teary.
"I want to thank all the people who give me this life. I want to thank the people who gave me joy, and the ones who broke my heart. The ones who were true, and the ones who lied to me. I want to thank true love, and I want to thank the way that I lied to myself because that's how I knew that I had to grow.
"I want to thank disappointment and failure for teaching me to be strong, and my children for teaching me to love."
She added: "I want to thank all the people who told me, to my face or when I wasn't in the room, that I couldn't do this. I really don't think I could have done this without you.
"And I know I couldn't have done it without the fans who saw the movies."
Black bounded onstage dressed as a panda to accept his prize.
The actor and comedian performed a forward roll and danced around the stage as a pyrotechnic display blasted.
"Comedy genius? Come on, are you kidding? For what?" he said, accepting the award from actress Awkwafina.
A Golden Popcorn fit for a Comedic Genius... 🍿 ⭐️

"It's ridiculous! I don't deserve this, but I will take it. Thank you, MTV."
He added: "This is for all the school of rockers and for all the Tenacious D-ciples."
Clips of Black's films were played for the audience before his appearance, including from School of Rock - in which he declares that Rock 'n' Roll was killed by MTV.
This year's ceremony took place at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. It was hosted by High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens.
