Why in the world is 50 First Dates a BEST MOVIE nominee? That spot should have gone to Kill Bill Volume 1 in my opinion.

MTV: Music Television today announced the nominees for the 2004 MTV Movie Awards. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl tops this year's nominee list with six nominations. 50 First Dates and X2: X-Men United are tied with four nominations each. The star-studded thirteenth annual awards ceremony will air on June 10th at 9PM (ET/PT). The winners will be revealed at the 2004 MTV Movie Awards, which will be taped on June 5th at Sony Picture Studios in Culver City, CA.

"Only at the MTV Movie Awards, will you see a category that pits a veterinarian vs. a samurai vs. a swashbuckling pirate," said Van Toffler, President, MTV/MTV2 and MTV Films. "In its thirteenth year, all of our nominees reflect the diverse taste of the MTV audience and this year's show will be no exception with funny films and moments."

The nominees for the 2004 MTV Movie Awards are chosen through a national poll of MTV and MTV2 viewers. The winners will be determined by MTV and MTV2 viewers, and only Virgin Mobile USA customers will be able to vote from the "*MTV" area on their phone screens, found under "VirginXtras." In addition, votes can be cast from April 21 through May 19 online by visiting MTV.com or by telephone at 900-868-1100 at 99 cents per call (must be 18 years or older to call).

Dr. DVD

Whatever happened to Most Desirable Female? I remember that being around when the awards first started. I would have voted for Uma all the way!

Here's hoping that next year they might give more recognition to Kill Bill vol.2 and maybe Carradine as best villain.

NitroJMS

With a few exceptions, this list looks more like a list of Nick Kid's Choice Awards than teen/young adult choices.

EvilConradBain

I'm really sure The Passion has a shot. And how did Bill Murray slip in there? Adam Sandler, LOTR, and Pirates all the way since MTV is as predictable as an Adam Sandler movie.

Mondo Kane

No Burly Brawl, eh?

DonnachaOne

As much as I hate this awards show... why am I still happy to see some people nominated?

fryinpan1

My vote would have gone to Kate Beckinsale - Underworld.

Ted The Bug

Whats up with the range of eligible movies? They include movies as recent as Starsky and Hutch (opened March 5 2004), but movies as old as Bringing Down the House (opened March 7 2003). Has the list of eligible films always been March -> March ?

Rypro 525

the best fight for kill bill is the bride vs go go right?
and how could the battle of the crazy 88 be skipped as best action sequence?
and they skipped rachel evan wood and nikki reed goin at it in "thirteen"

Mondo Kane

Kind of interesting. This show always lets Carrey win no matter what just because they wanna see what kind of act he puts on for the acceptance speech. But those other 4 are solid fan-favorites. Will they let his streak continue?

EvilConradBain

Kiera Knightley for Pirates would be my choice.

Rypro 525

also they'd let adam sandler win for 50 first dates, since he always does great acceptance speeches whenever he wins.

fumanstan

I'm waiting for someone here to take this award show seriously and complain about the quality of the nominations like last year

Simpson Purist

The MTV Movie Awards is more about the show than the awards. In that respect, it's a fun show to watch.

joeydaninja

where is the new director award or something like that

Rypro 525

thats mostly as a achievment award and isn't known to us until the show is aired.
notibal winners of that are
christopher nolan for memento
sophia copolla for virgin suicides
spike jones for being john malchovich

QuikSilver

I actually like watching this show even though I don't agree with the nominations.

Corvin

People keep saying that MTV lets so-and-so win the award, but I thought that winners were picked by the public. Am I completely wrong on this or what?

Neeb

These awards are lame. But the *ceremony* is always good...

Rypro 525

the winners are picked, but the winners are known before the show starts.

Groucho

Have they announced the hosts?
