Have the MTV Movie Awards just become a little more respectable? The annual awards show used to be referred to as the Twilight Awards (those sparkling vampires and hunky shirtless werewolves ruled the show for years), but now it appears the show’s grown up some with this year’s pack of nominees led by American Hustle and The Wolf of Wall Street. Not even Jennifer Lawrence and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire could match the eight nominations earned by Hustle and Wolf, although it did come close with seven.
This year’s awards will be hosted by Conan O’Brien and will air live on MTV on April 13th.
Voting is now open at MovieAwards.MTV.com. Voting in all categories other than Movie of the Year will close on April 12th.
