The MTV Movie Award Nominations

Hey, for the second year in a row they don't actually suck!

**** - my vote

Movie of the Year
American Sniper
Boyhood
The Fault in Our Stars
Gone Girl
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1
Selma****
Whiplash

Best Male Performance
Bradley Cooper – American Sniper
Chris Pratt – Guardians of the Galaxy
Ansel Elgort – The Fault In Our Stars
Miles Teller – Whiplash
Channing Tatum – Foxcatcher****

Best Female Performance
Jennifer Lawrence – The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1
Emma Stone – Birdman
Shailene Woodley – The Fault in Our Stars
Reese Witherspoon – Wild
Scarlett Johansson – Lucy****
(Still haven't seen Wild, damn it!)

Breakthrough Performance
Ansel Elgort – The Fault in Our Stars
Rosamund Pike – Gone Girl
Dylan O'Brien – The Maze Runner
David Oyelowo – Selma****
Ellar Coltrane – Boyhood
(Rosamund has been in films for over a decade.)

Best Scared-As-S**t Performance
Rosamund Pike – Gone Girl
Dylan O'Brien – The Maze Runner
Annabelle Wallis – Annabelle
Jennifer Lopez – The Boy Next Door
Zach Gilford – The Purge: Anarchy****
(I wish Carmen Ejogo had got the nom for Purge: Anarchy. I went with Zach GILF because he's hot. Also, I'm not sure how Rosamund is a scared-as-shit performance when she's in control most of the time. )

Best On-Screen Duo
Channing Tatum & Jonah Hill – 22 Jump Street****
Zac Efron & Dave Franco – Neighbors
Shailene Woodley & Ansel Elgort – The Fault in Our Stars
Bradley Cooper & Vin Diesel – Guardians of the Galaxy
James Franco & Seth Rogen – The Interview

Best Shirtless Performance
Zac Efron – Neighbors
Chris Pratt – Guardians of the Galaxy****
Channing Tatum – Foxcatcher
Ansel Elgort – The Fault in Our Stars
Kate Upton - The Other Woman

Best Fight
Chris Evans vs. Sebastian Stan – Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Dylan O'Brien vs. Will Poulter – The Maze Runner
Edward Norton vs. Michael Keaton – Birdman: Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)
Jonah Hill vs. Jillian Bell – 22 Jump Street****
Seth Rogen vs. Zac Efron – Neighbors

Best Kiss
Ansel Elgort & Shailene Woodley - The Fault in Our Stars
James Franco & Seth Rogen – The Interview
Andrew Garfield & Emma Stone – The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Scarlett Johansson & Chris Evans – Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Rose Byrne & Halston Sage – Neighbors****
(I honestly don't remember half of these kisses. I guess we only get a Brokeback Mountain/Wild Things/Cruel Intentions level of iconic kisses every few years.)

#WTF Moment
Seth Rogen & Rose Byrne – Neighbors****
Jonah Hill – 22 Jump Street
Jason Sudeikis & Charlie Day – Horrible Bosses 2
Miles Teller – Whiplash
Rosario Dawson & Anders Holm – Top Five
(It would help if they explained what the WTF moments were. And why wasn't Rosamund/NPH's sex scene here?)

Best Villain
J. K. Simmons – Whiplash****
Jillian Bell – 22 Jump Street
Meryl Streep – Into the Woods
Peter Dinklage – X-Men: Days of Future Past
Rosamund Pike – Gone Girl
(Cue the think pieces about Rosamund being a villain. It's between JK and Jillian for me, but I went with JK just because I gave Jillian a win in another category.)

Best Musical Moment
Bill Hader & Kristen Wiig – The Skeleton Twins****
Chris Pratt – Guardians of the Galaxy
Jennifer Lawrence – The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1
Miles Teller – Whiplash
Seth Rogen & Zac Efron – Neighbors
(This is actually a great lineup!)

Best Comedic Performance
Channing Tatum – 22 Jump Street
Chris Pratt – Guardians of the Galaxy
Chris Rock – Top Five
Kevin Hart – The Wedding Ringer
Rose Byrne – Neighbors****
(Love Rose getting mentioned over her co-stars.)

Best On-Screen Transformation
Eddie Redmayne – The Theory of Everything
Elizabeth Banks – The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1
Ellar Coltrane – Boyhood****
Steve Carell – Foxcatcher
Zoe Saldana – Guardians of the Galaxy
(I think Elizabeth won this before, so I went for the literal transformation.)
