The Hangover, New Moon And Avatar Lead MTV Movie Award Nominations
Aziz Ansari is hosting this year’s MTV Movie Awards, which greatly increases the likelihood that I or anyone else who doesn’t care about the Twilight franchise will actually watch the awards this year. And believe it or not, the nominees have been announced, and New Moon didn’t score the highest number of nominations– that honor goes to The Hangover, which had six. Is the beginning of some new era in which we wrest the MTV Movie Awards away from the bubbleheaded tweens?
Eh, probably not. I mean, the nominations also include Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner up for Best Kiss for Valentine’s Day, Ben Stiller in Night at the Museum 2, for Best Comedic Performance, and Zac Efron as Best Male Performance for 17 Again. These awards also take place in a parallel universe in which Amanda Seyfried, of Dear John, is up against actual Oscar winner Sandra Bullock for Best Female Performance. One redeeming factor? Betty White is up for “Best WTF Moment” for molesting Sandra Bullock in The Proposal. Gotta love those crazy kids these days and what they think passes for quality.
Check out the full list of nominees below. The MTV Movie Awards air June 5.
