Well the Oscars may look to the great, unique and classic movies and stars, but MTV goes for the popular, the loud and the explosive, and why the hell not, these need to be rewarded too. So with that, MTV are announcing their nominees for their 2005 Movie Awards, and added two fantastic new categories.
Best Frightened Performance and Best Videogame based on a Movie. Fantastic categories, the most convincingly frightened performance throughout a movie, and which movie inspired game was the best…mainly because the Best Movie based on a Videogame was just full of poo.
