Sure the Oscars have already been handed out, but now it’s time for the true top dog award show of the year: The MTV Movie Awards. Every year, MTV hands out what may be the second most unique statue in all award-show-dom: the coveted Golden Popcorn. (Obviously the Moonman of the MTV Video Music Awards comes first.)
2011 host Jason Sudeikis with the Golden Popcorn statue.
This year Guardians Of the Galaxy, The Fault In Our Stars, and Neighbors scored the most nominations with seven apiece. Nominees are initially selected by MTV, with the winners voted on by fans through MovieAwards.MTV.com through April 11. And because it’s MTV, categories include Best Scared-as-S*** Performance, Best WTF Moment, and Best On-Screen Transformation.
