The Hunger Games tributes are beyond fierce, but taking on Bridesmaids could be just as daunting as any challenge they faced in the arena. Nominations for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards just came out and the two blockbusters are up for the most Golden Popcorns, snagging 8 nods a piece, including Movie of the Year. Both are up for prizes including best cast, breakthrough performance and movie of the year. Of course, some supernatural stars are also in the running for best picture. ‘Breaking Dawn Part 1’ and ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ also picked up noms for top prize at the hip awards show. Rounding out the best picture category is ‘The Help’, which is up for three additional Golden Popcorns. The flicks up for best picture also duke it out in a few more categories: Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Watson, Rooney Mara and Kristen Wiig are all up for Best Female Performance. Leading lads Daniel Radcliffe, Channing Tatum, Ryan Gosling and Josh Hutcherson received nods for Best Male Performance. The winners will be decided by public vote. The awards ceremony is on 3 June. There are 12 categories this year, of which six are new including best on-screen dirtbag and best gut-wrenching performance. Nominees were previously selected by the public but this year they were chosen by a panel of actors, producers, agents and industry insiders. The MTV Movie Awards ceremony takes place at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, Los Angeles.
