Borat and Wanda Maximoff lead the MTV Movie & TV Award Noms

The hits just keep on coming. This very strange and elongated awards season just keeps adding chapters and sidebars that aren't usually there because it's lasted so long. Hell, if Broadway had reopened by this point we'd also have Tony campaigning happening during Oscar campaigning (Speaking of which, why did they announce Tony Award nominations five whole months ago if they weren't going to name winners or schedule a date to do so? Strange.). Anyway, here's something diametically opposed to the Tony Awards and sometimes the Oscars: the MTV Movie and TV Award Nominations.  As usual though this is a fan vote awards show so it's literally the popularity contest that all awards shows sort of are, only more nakedly so! Borat Subsequent Moviefilm an Judas and the Black Messiah lead the movies in nominations while WandaVision, Emily In Paris, and RuPaul’s Drag Race lead in the television shows but at the MTV Awards, moveis and TVs share several categories like "Best Hero", "Best Fight" and "Best Kiss" and the like. 

The complete list is after the jump (NOW UPDATED WITH WINNERS AS OF 05/17). That Carey Mulligan and Maria Bakalova's are both nominated is fun but doesn't instill confidence that they'll be able to pull off upsets at the Oscars...

BEST MOVIE  

• Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan 
• Judas and the Black Messiah 
• Promising Young Woman 
• Soul 
• To All the Boys: Always and Forever ★

Two Best Picture nominees are present. That's not a record. In 2014/2015 they nominated four: American Sniper, Boyhood, Selma, and Whiplash. But that year they had 8 nominees instead of their normal 5 or 6. They generally honor anywhere from 0 to 3 Oscar nominees in this category of five or six "Best Movies", whichever are youth-oriented or "edgy" in some way.
