MTV Movie Awards Nominations Announced!....And the Academy Might Have Worked!



Way to go MTV you regulated Twilight to limited categories!  With no nominations for Stewart, Pattinson, and Lautner, I will tune in this year.  
The Hunger Games leads the nominations with 8.  Bridesmaids follows closely with 7 nominations, and  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2received the third highest total with with 6 nominations.
So did MTV do what they set out to do when they said they wanted to change things? I would say yes, this list of nominations reminds me of this shows nominations from the past.  There is a balance between quality and what the viewers want to see.
