‘Get Out’ Leads MTV Movie Awards Noms, ‘Stranger Things’ Tops TV

The indie blockbuster Get Out topped the MTV Movie and TV nominations today, grabbing six mentions including Movie of the Year. It’s joined by Beauty and the Beast, The Edge of Seventeen, Logan and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story for the top award.

In an interesting twist, not only will MTV be adding television to their yearly awards (like the Critics Choice did and the Golden Globes do) they’ve eliminated gender separations in the acting categories and both film and television will be competing together in some categories.

In the process of combining the two mediums, MTV has drastically reduced the number of categories eliminating old standbys like Scared As Shit Performance but also adding some like New Generation and Tearjerker (which feels a bit Teen Choice Awards, to be honest). They kept the Best Kiss category where this year’s Best Picture Oscar winner Moonlight found itself nominated for the beachside kiss between Jharrel Jerome and Ashton Sanders. The film also picked up nominations for Tearjerker and Best American Story.

Stranger Things led the television nominations with four, including Show of the Year and Actor of the Year for Millie Bobby Brown.

Never the ones to want be behind the political curve, they’ve also added Best Fight Against the System which features films Get Out, Hidden Figures and Loving as well as TV shows like Mr. Robot and Luke Cage. Hopefully Pepsi isn’t a sponsor this year. Another new addition, Best American Story, is also a socially progressive category that features the previously mentioned African-American LGBTQ Oscar winner Moonlight plus shows with a Latina lead (Jane the Virgin), an African-American family (black-ish) a Chinese-American family (Fresh Off the Boat), and a family with a transgender lead character and LGBTQ supporting players (Transparent).

The awards will be hosted by Adam Devine, a nominee himself in Best Comedic Performance for Workaholics. It airs live from Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium on Sunday, May 7 at 8 p.m. ET and PT. Fans can vote for their favorites on MTV.com
