"The Hunger Games" and "Bridesmaids" Lead 2012 MTV Movie Awards Nominees


The MTV Movie Awards are like the Academy Awards for teen franchises and huge blockbusters.

Filled with many of Hollywood’s biggest stars, cheesy teleprompter jokes, sneak peaks, and categories like “Best Kiss” and “Best On-Screen Dirtbag,” it’s hard not to have a fun time paying unnecessary tribute to some of the year’s crowd favorites — which range from movies from as far back as last summer to some of this spring’s blockbuster powerhouses.

 Leading this year’s MTV Movie Awards are “Bridesmaids” and “The Hunger Games” with eight nominations each, followed by six nominations for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” and “21 Jump Street.” Surprisingly, “The Twilight Saga: Break Dawn – Part 1” only pulled in two nominations. Looks like there’s a new favorite franchise in town.

The 21st annual MTV Movie Awards will air live on June 3 at 9 a.m. on the east coast.
