Get Ready For The Gender Free MTV Awards

07 Apr, 2017

The MTV Movie Awards have a new look and a new name: Introducing the MTV Movie & TV Awards. For the first time ever, the annual broadcast slated for Sunday, May 7, will recognize TV series alongside feature films — and the nominations for this year’s big show, hosted by Adam DeVine, are finally out.

Leading the pack with six nods is Jordan Peele’s record-breaking directorial debut, Get Out, including Movie of the Year and a Next Generation nomination for star Daniel Kaluuya. Beauty and the Beast follows with four nominations, including a Best Actor in a Movie nom for Emma Watson. Meanwhile, Barry Jenkins’s Oscar-winning film, Moonlight, scored three nominations, including a Best Kiss nod for Ashton Sanders and Jharrel Jerome, as well as a nom in our brand-new category, Best American Story. (RIP Best Shirtless Performance.)

Over on the TV side, Stranger Things — last year’s pop culture phenomenon — nabbed four nominations, two of which belong to breakout star Millie Bobby Brown. (And none for you, Demogorgon.) HBO’s mega-hit Game of Thrones follows closely behind with three noms, including the coveted Show of the Year nomination. Here’s hoping nominee Emilia Clarke shows up with all three of Daenerys’s dragons because Drogon would look so CUTE in a bow tie.

Voting is live now at MTV.com. Two additional categories will be revealed closer to the show.
