|
Crime caper American Hustle and financial greed tale The Wolf of Wall Street have led the 2014 MTV Movie Awards nominations with eight nods each on Thursday.
The star-studded films, which went home from Sunday's Oscars empty handed, will have a shot at redemption at the unbuttoned MTV event that hands out golden, popcorn-shaped trophies in categories like best kiss and best fight scene.
The fan-voted awards will be hosted by comedian Conan OBrien at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on April 13 and televised on MTV, a unit of Viacom Inc.
