HBO’s The Last of Us got a nomination that few could have predicted when it was named as part of the MTV Movie Awards category of Best Kiss for Tess’ death scene. It’s one of the show’s weirdest moments, and not in a good way.
The MTV Movie Awards’ Best Kiss category has always been a little weird. (Remember when Species won for an inter-species kiss that blasted out the back of a man’s head?) But it’s never been weirder than on Tuesday, when Tess’ “kiss” from HBO’s The Last of Us was nominated for the award.
[Ed. note: This story contains spoilers for The Last of Us, episode 2.]
For those unfamiliar, the “kiss” in question is between Anna Torv, the actress who plays Tess, and Philip Prajoux, the actor who plays the infected Cordycep zombie that kills her by linking his weird tendril-y mouth mushrooms with her face.
