Who Will Win At The MTV Movie Awards
Award season is technically over, but there are some award shows aiming to recognize 2014 films that have yet to have their day in the Hollywood sun. The MTV Movie Awards announced their nominees in categories ranging from Movie of the Year to Best Scared-As-S**t Performance for the April 12 ceremony. The award show nominees overlap somewhat with those nominated at the Golden Globes and Academy Awards (Boyhood, Whiplash, Selma). But, you'll never see The Boy Next Door, Kate Upton, or Horrible Bosses 2 nominated for an award outside of the MTV Movie Awards.
The show has already snagged a host for the big day. Amy Schumer will follow in the footsteps of Rebel Wilson and Russell Brand as she takes the stage to adorn celebrities in gold-encrused popcorn statues. Ansel Elgort and Seth Rogen are tied for the most nods, ironically both appearing in the Best Shirtless Performance and Best Kiss categories — sadly not for kissing eachother.
And while The Academy Awards are often easy to predict, The MTV Movie Awards have been known to throw a few curveballs. It's an award show created for a younger generation, a generation that appreciates evaluating cinema on WTF moments and shirtless performances (which earned a female nominee this year). So when looking at the odds for any particular contender, it's best to look to those choosing the winners — the fans. And while fan bases can be measured somewhat in Tumblr accounts and instagram likes, a more accurate guestimation can be achieved by considering box office success. Here's who will win at the MTV Movie awards, based on who made the most money (lifetime gross) at the domestic box office.
