Juno and Superbad rule the MTV Movie Award Nominations
- Two sex-obsessed nerds in teen comedy “Superbad” topped the nominations for the 2008 MTV Movie Awards with five nods, while quirkie “Juno” about a pregnant 16 year-old came in just behind with four.
Unveiling this year’s nominees on Tuesday, popular television network MTV said Sony Picture’s “Superbad” claimed nominations for best movie and best actor for stars Jonah Hill and Michael Cera. It also racked up three nods for breakthrough performances.
“As someone who had his nose rubbed up against a locker or two, it’s great to see my cinematic nerd brothers get their just rewards,” Van Toffler, president of MTV Networks Music and Logo and Films Group, said in a statement.
