WandaVision is a popular MTV nominee this year
I always forget that the movie and TV nominees are combined in a lot of these categories now. Weird. These are mostly the kinds of noms you’d expect from what came out last year, with TV filling out most of the watercolor talk as opposed to the movies. Lots of superheroes, Bridgerton, The Boys, WandaVision, Falcon and Winter Soldier, The Mandalorian. The winners are going to be announced on May 16th and voting is open through April 30th.
