MTV recently announced the nominees for their 2008 Movie Awards and, as always, they're a little confusing, especially the addition of a "Best Summer Movie So Far" category and how BOOK OF SECRETS managed to land a "Best Movie" nod - even by MTV standards, that's weird. SUPERBAD leads the pack with a nod in almost every category and three goddamn nods in "Breakthrough Performance" alone. MTV folk really love them some McLovin'. Check out the rest below. The show airs June 1st at 8pm ET.
