'The Hunger Games' and 'Bridesmaids' Lead the MTV Movie Award Nominations'The Hunger Games' and 'Bridesmaids' Lead the MTV Movie Award Nominations

This year's staid and congratulatory awards season is now a distant memory, but there's still one awards show left, one that self-consciously defies the pomp and circumstance of the Oscars and the like.  The MTV Movie Awards don't take themselves too seriously, as demonstrated by categories such as "Best Fight," "Best Kiss," and "Best On-Screen Dirtbag."  Nominations for the summer's awards have been announced, with The Hunger Games and Bridesmaids racking up eight apiece.

Unlike previous years, this is the first time that the nominees weren't chosen by online voting, but instead by a presumably showy organization.  Still, the younger demographic so coveted and feared by the Academy Awards is very much reflected in these nominations, which include The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 in the running for Movie of the Year, along with the two aforementioned titles, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, and The Help.

21 Jump Street also shows up an awful lot, getting some much deserved love for the antic of Schmidt and Jenko.  Rooney Mara's Lisbeth Salander also gets no less than two nominations, while there's no shortage of love for Ryan Gosling and Drive, including a showcase for a certain elevator scene in which a man's head is basically turned into soup.

Here are all the official nominations for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards:
