AceShowbiz - The nominees for the 21st Annual MTV Movie Awards have been unveiled on Monday, April 30. Leading the pack are famous novel-adapted film "The Hunger Games" and adult comedy pic "Bridesmaids" with eight nods apiece.

Both movies are set to compete in the Movie of the Year category along with such big films as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II", "The Help" and "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part I".

Meanwhile, those who are competing in the Best Male Performance category are such actors as Josh Hutcherson ("The Hunger Games"), Daniel Radcliffe ("Deathly Hallows II"), Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("50/50"), Ryan Gosling ("Drive") and Channing Tatum ("The Vow").

MTV announced the nominees in 12 categories, including six new ones such as "Best On-Screen Dirtbag" and "Best Gut-Wrenching Performance." This year, the nominees were selected by a panel of actors, producers, agents and industry tastemakers instead of via online vote from the public.
