The MTV Movie Awards typically take place in the early summer, you may remember that last June we got an exclusive sneak peek at The Dark Knight Rises during the show. This year however, MTV’s award show is coming a little bit early — it’s set to air live on Sunday, April 14th.
The Dark Knight Rises may not have been nominated for any Oscars, but at least it has a chance to dominate at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards. Best of all, it’s us — the fans, who get to choose the winners. Here are the categories where The Dark Knight Rises has been nominated:
MOVIE OF THE YEAR
- “Django Unchained”
- “Silver Linings Playbook”
- “Ted”
- “The Avengers”
- “The Dark Knight Rises”
BEST SHIRTLESS PERFORMANCE
- Christian Bale — “The Dark Knight Rises”
- Daniel Craig — “Skyfall”
- Taylor Lautner — “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2”
- Seth MacFarlane as Ted — “Ted”
- Channing Tatum — “Magic Mike”
BEST FIGHT
- Jamie Foxx vs. Candieland Henchmen — “Django Unchained”
- Daniel Craig vs. Ola Rapace — “Skyfall”
- Mark Wahlberg vs. Seth MacFarlane as Ted — “Ted”

BEST VILLAIN

- Leonardo DiCaprio — “Django Unchained”
- Marion Cotillard — “The Dark Knight Rises”

- Tom Hiddleston — “The Avengers
Head on over to MTV and cast your votes now! I think that The Avengers is the biggest threat in the “Movie of the Year” category and if Christian Bale vs. Tom Hardy doesn’t win “Best Fight” I’d be shocked. Best of luck to Christian Bale in the “Best Shirtless Performance” category… though I’m disappointed to see that Marion Cotillard got snubbed.
