The nominations for the MTV Movie & TV Awards have nothing but love for heroes real and costumed.
Categories are also peppered with real-life figures, like Serena Willams and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who both received nominations for best real-life hero. Ginsburg was also nominated in the best documentary category, as well as most meme-able moment and best fight, for the legal effort portrayed in the documentary « RBG. » (« RBG » was produced by CNN Films.)
« RBG, » « Game of Thrones » and « Avengers: Endgame » each received four nominations each.
Netflix fared best of all streaming platforms, scoring 14 nominations for its TV shows and films including « Bird Box » and « To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. »
This is the first time Netflix has had a film represented in the best movie category. The streamer’s documentary « 13th, » from director Ava DuVernay, won best documentary last year.
In a move that continues to help MTV standout from traditional award shows, categories feature a mix of film, television and streaming content and are not separated by gender. Multiple genres — from daytime to reality — are also represented.
The MTV Movie & TV Awards will take place on June 17 in Santa Monica, California.
