We're McLovin' it
The MTV Movie Awards, which normally gives top honors to stuff like "Transformers" and "Pirates of the Caribbean," is actually giving a great movie a chance to shine this year.
That's because "Superbad" led the pack with five nominations Tuesday for categories including "Best Comedic Performance" and "Best Movie." (That being said, the other "Best Movie" noms are "I Am Legend," "Juno," "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" and, yes, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" and "Transformers.")The awards, broadcast live June 1, will also debut a new category, "Best Summer Movie So Far," which just includes all the big May releases ("Iron Man," "Indiana Jones," "Sex and the City," "Speed Racer" and "The Chronicles of Narnia").
That's not terribly exciting, but we do like the concept of a user-generated category, "Best Movie Spoof," for which users can submit online movies parodying flicks from the past year. Not only is that a fun way to engage the audience, but it prevents full-length spoofs like "Meet the Spartans" or "Superhero Movie" from ever being called the "Best" at anything.
Does "Superbad" deserve to be called "Best Movie"?
