AceShowbiz - Blockbuster "Top Gun: Maverick" and hit TV shows "Stranger Things", "The Last of Us" and "Wednesday" have gained most nominations among the scripted content in this year's MTV Movie and TV Awards. The list of contenders in 19 categories, released on Wednesday, April 5, ahead of the Sunday, 7 May ceremony also include "Jersey Shore Family Vacation", "RuPaul's Drag Race", "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and "Vanderpump Rules" in the unscripted categories.

A press release for the event said, "The biggest and best in both movies and television, across scripted and unscripted, for one supersized, can't-miss event." Hosted by Drew Barrymore, the awards show will air live from the Barker Hangar Santa Monica, California, from 8 P.M. ET/PT.

"Top Gun: Maverick" was top of the pile with six nominations, while "Stranger Things" and "The Last of Us" got six nods, with "The White Lotus" and "Wednesday" on four. The Best Movie nominations went to "Avatar: The Way of Water", "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever", "Elvis", "Nope", "Scream VI", "Smile" and "Top Gun: Maverick". Nominees for Best Show are "Stranger Things", "The Last of Us", "The White Lotus", "Wednesday", "Wolf Pack", "Yellowstone" and "Yellowjackets".
