MTV Movie and TV Awards are the latest award show to unveil their list of contenders, and some of our absolute favorites made the cut. Marvel’s hit series WandaVision led the way with a total of five nominations, but Emily in Paris and The Boys were right behind with four.
These three series will all be competing for one of the biggest awards of the night—best show. The list of contenders in this category also includes Netflix smash hits Bridgerton and Cobra Kai.
In addition to competing for the best show awards, WandaVision scored four more nominations—best performance in a show (Elizabeth Olsen), best hero (Teyonah Parris), best villain (Kathryn Hahn), and best fight (Wanda vs. Agatha).
In film categories, the field is much more colorful, but Borat Subsequent Moviefilm is the absolute leader with a total of three nominations. It’s one of the projects in the running for the best movie of the year, together with Judas and the Black Messiah, Promising Young Woman, Soul, and To All the Boys: Always and Forever.
The 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards will be held on May 16th at the Palladium in Los Angeles.
