After the Academy Awards, I was more than ready to close the book on awards season and not have to worry about it until the Oscar bait started dropping in the fall. But nope! I forgot that the MTV Movie Awards are a thing. So close … on the plus side, this year’s ceremony is being hosted by the always fantastic Rebel Wilson. The full list of nominees from Us Weekly …

I’ll be the first to pile on the “Emma Watson is fantastic, underrated actress” bandwagon, but did anyone actually see The Perks of Being a Wallflower? Good for her and all, but still … either way, I’m just happy that we actually made it through a year without them piling on awards for one of those terrible Twilight movies. Just because a bunch of stupid teenagers watch something, doesn’t mean it’s good.
