Guardians Of The Galaxy Leads The List Of The 2015 MTV Movie Awards Nominees

Amy Schumer has been preparing us for her stint as host of the 2015 MTV Movie Awards with a series of funny video segments teaming her with the likes of Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader. Finally, though, we now know all of the films that will contend for the Golden Popcorn trophy at the ceremony, which will be held on Sunday April 12. Best Fight? Best Kiss? We have all of them covered.

Three films actually hold the lead for the most nominations, with seven a piece: Guardians, The Fault in our Stars, and the odd-couple comedy Neighbors. From the latter picture, Zac Efron earned a nomination in the very competitive Best Shirtless Performance category. Rogen, meanwhile, nabbed five nominations, including Best Kiss with James Franco for The Interview. 

 

Do the MTV Movie Awards mirror the Oscars? Not really. Ultimate Best Picture winner, Birdman, only received two MTV noms, including Best Fight. Elsewhere, Whiplash received a lot of love, and Eddie Redmayne will contend for Best On-Screen Transformation, but didn't get into the Best Male Performance category. And that, my friends, belongs in the Best WTF Moments category.
