MTV Movie Award Nominations

Ok...so we are a bit award seasoned out at this point...but the MTV Movie Awards area always different...and this year is not exception. See the nominees below...but some observations.

- Anyone think ONLY nominated Zac Efron for shirtless performance for his Neighbors role is a gross miscarriage of justice to Seth Rogen...who went toe to toe or belly to six pack or ???? in the film?

- I always love all the off the wall categories in this show - quite frankly movies are about entertaining. And the categories that are here are just that.

- Lots of love for the uber-successful teen flick Fault in Our Stars that walked out of the genre to wow critics across the country as well, well many of them at least.

- Sure he fits the demo, but I so would have liked the bigger awards season to have shown the love on Miles Teller (nominated for Best Male Performance). He is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING in Whiplash and alongside the incredible JK Simmons they created my favorite film this year.

- Lots of love for the very funny 22 Jump Street a film that I think will be fondly remembered in the comedic ranks of 2014.

- Was there a better Villain than JK Simmons this year? I wanted so bad to kick his a$$ myself! Wait...also SPOILER ALERT Rosamund Pike is a villain? (YES SHE IS and a good one at that.)

Oh I have lots more....this is a fun group of nominees and I get smiles just thinking about them...check out the awards on MTV Sunday, April 12 at 8ET/PT - and YOU can vote for the winners...click here
