MTV Movie & TV Awards always did a great job honoring our favorite films and TV shows of the past year, and they’re going to do it again this spring. The list of nominees is in, with Top Gun: Maverick, Stranger Things, and The Last of Us leading the way with six nominations each.
Top Gun: Maverick is the most-nominated film with six nods, and it’s one of the main contenders for the best movie award. Avatar: The Way of Water, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Elvis, Nope, Scream VI, and Smile are also in the running for one of the night’s biggest awards.
On the TV side, Stranger Things and The Last of Us both scored six nominations, including best show. The White Lotus, Wednesday, Wolf Pack, Yellowjackets, and Yellowstone have also been nominated in this category.
Drew Barrymore previously revealed she’ll be hosting the show this year, and she’s somewhat of a veteran at this ceremony. She’s been nominated for nine MTV Movie and TV Awards in the past and managed to take home three Golden Popcorns.
This year’s MTV Movie & TV Awards will take place on May 7 at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. Sia, Travis Barker, and Steve Aoki will perform at the ceremony.
