It should come as no surprise to anyone existing in the year of our Lord 2019 that two pop culture behemoths reign supreme: Avengers: Endgame and Game of Thrones. But don’t tell that to Notorious RBG.
On Tuesday (May 14), the nominees for the 2019 MTV Movie & TV Awards were announced and Avengers: Endgame, Game of Thrones, and the Ruth Bader Ginsburg documentary RBG lead the nominations with four apiece. But Netflix charmer To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before isn’t far behind with three nods of its own — including recognition in top categories like Best Movie and Best Kiss for Lana Condor and Breakthrough Performance nominee Noah Centineo’s swoon-worthy smooch.
While lovebirds/relatives Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen weren’t nominated in that beloved category, Game of Thrones did score a nod for Best Show for the third year in a row, and earned not one but two nominations for her badass portrayal of Arya Stark in Season 8: Best Hero (going head to head with the night’s host, Zachary Levi) and Best Fight for her epic showdown with the White Walkers.
Meanwhile, new categories this year include Reality Royalty, Most Meme-able Moment, and Best Real-Life Hero, which includes nominees RBG, rock climber Alex Honnold, and tennis icon Serena Williams.
