Oh, gawd. Another movie awards show? Ain’t we done with the tired old titles of 2012? MTV’s just announced its nominees for the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, an all-style-and-no-substance annual event that, HOLD UP, may actually be worth watching this year (airdate is April 14).

Reason being: host Rebel Wilson, an inspired choice who happens to be up for Best Female Performance as well as Best Breakthrough Performance for Pitch Perfect. Tumblr agrees … Rebel is awesome.

Complete list of nominees on MTV’s site here, with categories like Movie of the Year (spoiler alert: Amour is not on the list); Best Shirtless Performance (why are there people on this list who weren’t in Magic Mike?); crowd favorites Best Kiss and Best Fight; and my personal favorite, Best WTF Moment — because aren’t those the moments we really remember when the lights go up? My pick for pure, over-the-top violence and lavish WTF-ness, full of dialogue I don’t dare repeat here: “Jamie Foxx and Samuel L. Jackson, Candieland Gets Smoked, in Django Unchained.”
