"Superbad" leads the pack of noms.

"Superbad" led all flicks as nominations were announced Tuesday morning (May 6) for the 17th Annual MTV Movie Awards, which will be broadcast live Sunday, June 1, from the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, California. The raunchy teen comedy scored noms for Best Movie; Best Comedic Performance (Jonah Hill); and three bids in the Best Newcomer category, for Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Michael Cera.

You're not seeing double: The "Arrested Development" actor also picked up a Best Male Performance nomination for "Juno." The critical fave about a pregnant teen is also up for Best Movie, Best Female Performance for star Ellen Page and Best Kiss (for the pair's smooch at the end). And that's the truth, honest to blog.

Rounding out the nominees for Best Movie are "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," "I Am Legend," "Transformers" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End." At last year's ceremony "Transformers" won the award for Best Summer Movie You Haven't Seen Yet, while "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" walked away with the Golden Popcorn for Best Movie.

Will Captain Jack get to take home another prize on Movie Awards night? Johnny Depp's take on the seafaring scallywag is once again nominated for Best Comedic Performance. He took down Davy Jones no problem, but he'll have to raise the Skull and Crossbones to take down his competition in this category, including Hill, Adam Sandler ("I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry"), Seth Rogen ("Knocked Up") and Amy Adams ("Enchanted").

The enchanting Adams, meanwhile, proves that fairy tales really do come true, with a record-tying three individual nominations. Aside from her nod for Best Comedic Performance, the newest Disney princess boasts nominations for Best Female Performance and Best Kiss (with Patrick Dempsey). To be crowned Queen of the Ball for the former, however, she'll have to beat out Keira Knightley ("Pirates of the Caribbean"), Katherine Heigl ("Knocked Up"), Page and Jessica Biel ("I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry"). Hey, if the glass slipper fits.

Thanks for posting this

I just voted for today... I really don't like that you can vote as much as you want though. I wish it was just one vote per person per category.

Yeah that makes it a bit pointless. But oh well.

I don't care what anyone says, best fight should go to The Bourne Ultimatum, that scene was CRAZY!

jackiehydelover · 05-07-2008, 02:30 PM

I voted for the The Bourne Ultimatum!

Haven't seen the movie though

I had to though! It's probably going to go to something stupid like Alien vs. Predator or Transformers

Bella Grint · 05-07-2008, 05:14 PM

Yay I am gonna vote later. I can't wait, a lot of my faves are nomimated so it'll be hard to choose but otherwise fun

jackiehydelover · 05-07-2008, 06:09 PM

Yay!

I love that you voted for it even though you haven't seen it

You should totally watch it though (and the other Bourne movies), it's sheer brilliance.

I can't believe the Link/Tracy kiss from Hairspray didn't get nominated for Best Kiss, what a crock!

taovande · 05-09-2008, 01:42 PM

I thought their kiss was a bit anti-climactic and bit blah....

I used to be a huge fan of watching this show...but I don't know any more..I'll check out the categories and decide if I want to vote....off to go check out the list.

the fact that voting has been left open to vote as often as you like tells me that its fixed but they want the fans to feel "involved"
