MTV Movie Award Nominees 2005

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.
