MTV announced the nominations for the 2018 MTV Movie and TV Awards today, which marks the first time that there will be TV awards handed out during this ceremony, which was previously known as the MTV Movie Awards. Marvel’s Black Panther leads the way in the movie categories with seven nominations, including Best Movie, while Netflix’s Stranger Things has the most nominations on the TV side with six, including Best Show. Unlike some awards shows, the movie or TV categories aren’t split up between drama and comedy, which leads to some interesting categories all around.While most movie awards honor movies released within the calendar year, the MTV Movie Awards operates on a different sort of calendar, with seemingly last weekend being the cutoff for movies to be nominated. Last weekend’s box office champ Avengers: Infinity War is nominated for three awards, Best Movie, Best Villain for Josh Brolin’s Thanos and Best Fight, for the battle between Proxima Midnight (Carrie Coon) and heroes Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Okoye (Danai Gurira) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen). Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther are vying for best picture against an eclectic group including Universal’s R-rated comedy hit Girls Trip, New Line’s R-rated Stephen King adaptation IT and Warner Bros. superhero blockbuster Wonder Woman.BEST MOVIEAvengers: Infinity War (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)Black Panther (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures)Girls Trip (Universal Pictures)IT (New Line Cinema)Wonder Woman (Warner Bros.
