Star Wars: The Force Awakens Gets 11 Nominations at the MTV Movie Awards!
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens leads the pack at the MTV Movie Awards, being nominated 11 times in 9 of the award show’s 14 categories.
From Variety:
The force was strong with Star Wars as the sci-fi epic dominated the 2016 MTV Movie Awards nominations on Tuesday morning, which were announced via Snapchat Discover. The Force Awakens led the way with 11 nods, followed by another box office smash, Deadpool, which scored eight noms. Avengers: Age of Ultron was in third with six nominations. All three films are up for the night’s biggest award — movie of the year — alongside Creed, Jurassic World and Straight Outta Compton.
The categories that The Force Awakens is up for are Movie of the Year, Best Female Performance (Daisy Ridley), Breakthrough Performance (Daisy Ridley or John Boyega), Best Action Performance (John Boyega), Best Hero (Daisy Ridley), Best Villain (Adam Driver), Best Virtual Performance (Andy Serkis or Lupita Nyong’o), Best Ensemble Cast, and best fight (Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley).
The award show will be presented by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Kevin Hart on April 10.

It would be nice — if anyone actually cared about those awards…
“I care” [/Luke]
Cool.
I fucking love being a Stars Wars fan.
eMpTVy.
Can we get just one ray of sunshine from you?
One positive comment?
“You ask the impossible”
The MTV Movie Awards are absolutely worthless, but whatever. Good luck to The Force Awakens.
With how out-of-touch the Oscars have become, it is nice to see these other awards shows giving the movie some recognition…even if it is MTV
As much as I enjoyed The Force Awakens, it’s not really an Oscar-worthy film with the exception of perhaps the score and visual effects.
I dunno. Maybe Star Wars will get some Oscar attention when Episode XI is released, you know, like Return of the King.
Bring on the Saturn Awards
OPINIONS: So Mark Hamill may have spoiled something huge by saying Luke Skywalker could be gay based on your personal interpretation of him…..SO….NOT Rey’s father?? O_o
He had interest in Leia and another girl from the canon novels so no its not really up to interpretation.
You guys are taking this way to far, I’m just saying If he knows Luke is Rey’s father, why add that Luke might be gay? Just saying.
Why would he give away the biggest secret of the new trilogy? Take a second and think.
because….he didn’t think when he said it?
Yes because the guy who kept Luke a secret for all of the lead up to Episode 7 and a guy who has never spoiled anything in his life (Even bragged about it on Twitter) let the biggest secret in this trilogy go with an off comment. You are clearly reading too much into this. It’s cool though man, BOB thinks the earth is flat so it could worse.
I have nothing against individuals whose sexual orientation is different from mine, but please don’t bring these unsubstantiated “read between the lines” suppositions that click-bait sites are currently trying to push! There is no need for it as the sexuality of SW characters is not needed to be made a big deal (the movies aren’t going to go out of their way to make references to this if it’s something that has nothing to do with the story).
All Mark wants is for people to feel included, so if they want to see Luke as gay/bi/omnisexual or furry for that matter – he doesn’t mind. That is all he is saying. Many fans have their own personal head-canons, so why can’t people of other sexual orientations? That doesn’t mean it has to be your head-canon or that this will be Disney/Lucasfilm official canon. People can imagine whatever they want and Mark is fine with it. That is all.
Considering that Luke was obviously attracted to Leia, he would at least have to be bi. Therefore, he could still be Rey’s dad.
All of this has reaffirmed my opinion that they should have done EU stories.
I have major gas today.
Which is about as interesting as MTV
My asshole has more credence than MTV. These awards mean nothing
Unlike the Oscars, which are totally legit.
adam driver needs more recognition.. he’s a boss.
Ahhhh, meaningless awards from a has been network. But the nominations are for a meaningless movie.
Ahhhh, meaningless comment from a meaningless… nah to easy. 😛
Now that’s funny! Guess it was set up a little too much.
Stop projecting.

2 co-op split screen maps? We’re making some progress here, EA. Not enough to get me to buy yet, but it seems like you guys might be listening after all.
