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.
