If you’re a huge fan of fun, genre TV shows and movies that rarely get recognition at the traditional award shows, the MTV Movie & TV Awards are probably your favorite ceremony. The list of 2021 nominees is finally in, and it was topped by Marvel’s hit series WandaVision.

WandaVision was a bona fide smash hit for Disney+, and its MTV nominations further confirm its popularity. It topped the list with a total of five nods, including best show, best performance in a show (Elizabeth Olsen), best hero (Teyonah Parris), best villain (Kathryn Hahn), and best fight.

The list of major contenders in the television field also includes Emily in Paris and The Boys. Both shows scored a total of four nominations, including the best show. Bridgerton and The Mandalorian were right behind, with three nominations each.

When it comes to the movie categories Borat Subsequent Moviefilm led the way with three nominations. It’s in the running for the best movie award, where it’s competing against Judas and the Black Messiah, Promising Young Woman, Soul, and To All the Boys: Always and Forever.

The 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards will take place on May 16th at the Palladium in Los Angeles, and the rest of the details about the ceremony are yet to be announced.
