The MTV Movie Awards are no more.

In its place: The MTV Movie and Television Awards. And unlike the Golden Globes, where film and TV stars mingle on the red carpet but compete in parallel categories, MTV is all but erasing the barrier between the two. As Vulture reports, with only a few exceptions, TV shows and the performers therein will duke it out with movies, which will bring you match-ups like Moonlight vs. Jane the Virgin, Mr. Robot vs. Get Out, and more.

Another division MTV is doing away with: Gender-defined categories. No more best actor or best actress; all genders are eligible for all the awards. It's exactly what some conservatives said would happen once we legalized gay marriage. We live in the future!

New and altered categories reflect a serious shift in not just the sensibilities of MTV's younger viewers but the country at large: The new framework will celebrate movies and shows that reckon with what it means to be American and stand up against oppression

-----

I kinda dig these categories.

 

[Mesoian]

Neat.

But I still likely won't watch.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Beauty and the Beast, Logan, and Get Out just came out. Isn't it too early to award 2017 movies? I'm confused.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

The Flash as Best Hero. Hahahahahahahaha

 

[Ultramantaro1]

No gendered categories is very progressive. I like it, I just hope it won't mean thay women are overshadowed, as most of the voters in these awards are men ( for the Oscars at least, not sure about MTV).

 

[sixteen-bit]

Atlanta is so good I hope it wins best TV show

 

[Hyun Sai]

Emilia Clarke nominated as best actress ? There goes any rumor of credibility.

 

[Nabs]

The Flash as Best Hero. Hahahahahahahaha

 

[Effect]

The Flash as Best Hero. Hahahahahahahaha

One could make a good argument for him being in the villain category. This damn season.

 

[conpfreak]

Moonlight was snubbed with no best movie nomination.

 

[arts&crafts]

Best American Story? odd choice, even for America.

 

[Bronx-Man]

[Inferno313]

Moonlight was snubbed with no best movie nomination.

The MTV Movie Awards aren't actually about good movies, typically.

 

[HStallion]

The Best Fight Against the System award? Are they really serious with that award?

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Because GoT didn't have enough awards.

The MTV Movie Awards aren't actually about good movies, typically.

This. The first four Twilight movies all won best movie.

 

[Skellig Gra]

The Stranger Things monster got nominated? lol

 

[Malyse]

The Best Fight Against the System award? Are they really serious with that award?

Like, are you unfamiliar with MTV?

 

[Poor GRIMES]

Emilia Clarke.... acting?

 

[Angelus Errare]

How the fuck is Pretty Little Liars even on the list for best show of the year lol.

 

[Jay Shadow]

BEST ACTOR IN A SHOW

Donald Glover – Atlanta
Emilia Clarke – Game of Thrones
Gina Rodriguez – Jane the Virgin
Jeffrey Dean Morgan – The Walking Dead
Mandy Moore – This Is Us
Millie Bobby Brown – Stranger Things

 

[Robdraggoo]

Hodors death. Spoilers jeez

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

The Flash as Best Hero. Hahahahahahahaha

The Flash but no Wild Dog or Ghost Rider.
Flash ain't even the best hero on his own series.

 

[Glix]

Not my cup of tea but I fully support removing the gender divide for awards. Thats cool.

 

[Bronx-Man]

The Best Fight Against the System award? Are they really serious with that award?

[GabeTheGrouch76]

>Jared Leto's Joker
>Best Villain

Spoiler

If SS can win an Oscar for Makeup, this is likely going to be a slam dunk win. Even though he's technically not the film's villain as it is...

 

[Herr Schwarz]

In what universe is Emilia Clarke the best actor at anything?

 

[RipperGrim]

I actually like the idea of no gender categories. It just makes sense.

 

[Anoregon]

Damn, Allison Williams best villain nom is totally a spoiler.

 

[Violence Jack]

Good idea to include TV shows, but this probably won't get me to pay it any attention.

But why combine the actor awards? I would think actresses are fine with their own category to bring more attention to their roles rather than lumping them in with the men. I appreciate the push for actors and actresses to be seen as equals, but I don't know if this is something their viewers were asking for.

But Emilia Clarke makes it a joke anyway.

Damn, Allison Williams best villain nom is totally a spoiler.

Holy shit, I just noticed that. Might want to spoiler tag that in the OP.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Damn, Allison Williams best villain nom is totally a spoiler.

I was just going to post this. I haven't seen the movie yet.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

>Jared Leto's Joker
>Best Villain

Spoiler

If SS can win an Oscar for Makeup, this is likely going to be a slam dunk win. Even though he's technically not the film's villain as it is...

Probably an error. Should be filed under best comedic performance.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

How the fuck is Pretty Little Liars even on the list for best show of the year lol.

Know your audience

Spoiler

also watch the show

Damn, Allison Williams best villain nom is totally a spoiler.

There's a lot of spoilers there in OP

 

[cDNA]

Good for getting rid of the best actress/actor artificial division this are not sports. The Oscar , the Globes and all the big awards should do the same.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

I'm cracking up that an award is pitting one of the real-life heroes from Hidden Figures against a bunch of superheroes lmao.

Yes, that is very dumb.

So what award does Asia Kate Dillon get nominated for in split awards?

 

[UnemployedVillain]

INSECURE? Issa is finally getting her due, hopefully

 

[Einchy]

Luke Cage fought against the system of having a good ending.

 

[kirblar]

Getting rid of Gendered noms is silly to me, but these are inherently silly awards anyway. (Gender-neutral parts like in Alien are the exception, not the norm.)

 

[Shaanyboi]

BEST VILLAIN
Jared Leto – Suicide Squad

 

[cloudstrife]

Someone needs to spoiler tag a certain nomination for Get Out. It's major.

Good thing I've seen it, but concerned for the Gaffers that haven't yet.

 

[Grifter]

Damn, Allison Williams best villain nom is totally a spoiler.

...

fuck

 

[hampig]

Tons of spoilers in those nominations. Kind of a crappy thing to do.

 

[Thebeardofknowledge]

If anything from DC is nominated you know it's a joke

 

[CloudWolf]

Hey MTV, thanks for that Get Out spoiler. It's not like the film hasn't been released yet worldwide or something.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Shouldn't Viola Davis be nominated for best villain? I can't imagine giving it to Leto for doing a bad Jim Carrey impression for 5 minutes or Cara DiGiorno belly dancing in front of a green-screen for an hour and a half.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

How is Ghost in the Shell not up for best American story?!

 

[PSqueak]

"Best american story"? So is that best story written by an american or is it best story about an american setting?

 

[ZeoVGM]

Aw man, didn't expect to get spoiled on Get Out here.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

BEST ACTOR IN A MOVIE
Emma Watson – Beauty and the Beast

...How? Because she's the lead? There were better performances than her, including Dan Stevens as the Beast.

Anyway, that's the Hugh Jackman award.
