Who said it’s the end of award season? Just as the buzz from the Academy Awards settles down, MTV announced the MTV Movie Award nominations. Late-night host Conan O’Brien will host the fan-voted award show that will take place on April 13. Not surprisingly, a bunch of Oscar favorites were given a nod, including 12 Years a Slave, American Hustle and The Wolf of Wall Street. But fantasy lovers can jump for joy as The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire were added to the nominee list. The popcorn-shaped trophies are also honoring interesting categories like Best Kiss (remember the Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams‘ lip-lock in American Hustle?), Best Shirtless performance and a special #WTF moment. American Hustle and The Wolf of Wall Street lead the slew of blockbuster films with eight nominations each while Oscar-winning film 12 Years a Slave picked up four nominations. ~Marriska Fernandes
