"Handing over the voting to our devoted movie fans is sure to generate a passionate debate over this year's epic films. And this year, fans worldwide will get to participate in the process," said Stephen Friedman, General Manager of MTV. "After driving major ticket sales, our audience will now drive voting for their favorite movies."
This year, it's anyone's and any film's game as the MTV fans hold the destiny of the golden popcorn awards in their hands. In this year's all-new categories, could "BEST ASS-KICKING STAR" nominations go to Hugh Jackman or Channing Tatum while in "BEST SCARED-AS S**T PERFORMANCE," Allison Lohman for "Drag Me to Hell" and Katie Featherson for "Paranormal Activity" get voted in? In "GLOBAL SUPERSTAR," could current film co-stars Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp end-up facing off for the title?
In returning categories like "BEST MOVIE," will the blockbusters "Avatar" and "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" be fan-favorites while 2009 "BEST KISS" winners Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson receive their second nomination? So much fun for viewers last year we had to bring it back, in "BEST WTF MOMENT," will the scene when the naked guy jumps out of the trunk from "The Hangover" be up for a popcorn statue? These questions can only be answered by the MTV viewers as they vote to create this year's list of final nominees.
