The host has been announced and the nominees are now in — it’s officially MTV Movie & TV Awards season!
Earlier today, MTV revealed the categories and their respective nominees for the 2019 MTV Movie & TV Awards. Continuing to collapse the divide between film, television and streaming as well as nominating the best performances no matter screen, genre or gender, this year’s show will include fan favorites like “Best Kiss,” “Best Hero” and “Best Villain,” as well as new categories such as “Reality Royalty,” “Most Meme-able Moment” and “Best Real-Life Hero.”

This year, RBG, Game of Thrones and Avengers: Endgame top the list with four nominations each. RBG is nominated for “Best Documentary,” “Most Meme-able Moment,” the inaugural “Real-Life Hero” category, and “Best Fight.” The final season of Game of Thrones is up for Best Show for the third year in a row and has cast members Maisie Williams up for Best Hero (Arya Stark), Emilia Clarke for Best Performance in a Show (Daenerys Targaryen) and Best Fight (Arya Stark vs. the White Walkers).
Last year, MTV was the first major awards show to nominate Black Panther and this year, it is the first to recognize the record-breaking Avengers: Endgame which brought in four nominations — receiving nods for “Best Movie,” “Best Fight,” Robert Downey Jr. for “Best Hero” (Tony Stark/Iron Man) and Josh Brolin for “Best Villain” (Thanos).
