The 2019 MTV Movie & TV Award Nominations Are Finally Here, So Get Ready To Vote For Your Faves

Award shows can often act as a mirror for either what people love in pop culture or changes that need to be made in the entertainment industry (we're looking at you, #OscarsSoWhite). But for award shows voted on by the people, the nominees are a direct reflection of what the world is currently into. The 2019 MTV Movie & TV Awards nominations are here, and based off of the three projects with the most nominations — Game of Thrones, Avengers: Endgame, and RBG — it's clear that humanity is looking for a hero. Society craves someone who can fight alien villains like Thanos, slay dragons like Arya, or combat a larger enemy like injustice, which Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has devoted her life to.

Shazam star, and nominee, Zachary Levi will be on hand to host the honoring of fictional and real-life heroes onscreen come Monday, June 17, at 9:00 P.M. ET/PT. And fans can begin voting at vote.mtv.com in classic categories like Best Kiss (long live that iconic Ryan Gosling-Rachel McAdams moment) and Breakthrough Performance right now.

One of the best parts of parsing any crop of MTV Movie & TV nominations is reveling in some of the wildest picks. What other awards show can boast a category where Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Captain Marvel, Arya Stark, and Ronda Rousey are all nominated? (They are all up for Best Fight — RBG's opponent in this category is "Inequality," a fact with which we will never recover from.) Other notable nominees include BlacKkKlansman, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, Us, Jane the Virgin, and Crazy Rich Asians.

As with last year, the categories for performances are non-gender specific and combine TV series, movies, and streaming content. Choices such as these resulted in nominations in which the Best Performance In A Movie and Best Performance In A Show categories each boast four female nominees and one male nominee.

Other categories are honoring heroes like Serena Williams (Being Serena), Hannah Gadsby (Nanette), and Alex Honnold (Free Solo), who are up for Best Real-Life Hero. And once and for all, fans can decide if Colton's Bachelor fence jump was more Meme-Worthy than Lindsay Lohan's Lilo dance. It's a tough vote, but someone's got to do it.
