2014 MTV Movie Awards Nominations Announced

Yesterday we told you that everyone's favorite freakishly tall, redheaded late-night host Conan O'Brien will be hosting this year's MTV Movie Awards. Well, today we can tell you who's likely to join him in Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre on April 12, as MTV has announced the full list of nominees.

As you likely already know, these aren't your average award-show categories. Instead of "Best Sound Mixing" and "Best Production Design," there's "Best Scared-As-S**t Performance" and "Best #WTF Moment." Instead of "Best Editing" and "Best Costume Design," there's "Best Shirtless Performance" and the always salacious "Best Kiss." But, despite MTV's edgier categories, the same prestigious movies that dominated the Oscars are also leading the pack here. Both American Hustle and Wolf of Wall Street scored eight nominations apiece, while Sunday's Best Picture winner 12 Years a Slave scored a Movie of The Year nod, as well as a Best Female Performance for Lupita Nyong'o, because from now on awards shows aren't allowed to happen unless she is some way involved. Kudos to MTV for realizing that.
