Just when you thought awards season was over, MTV steps in to keep the fun going. The MTV Movie Awards nominations have just been released, giving fans the chance to vote for the winners ahead of the April 13 show.

The nominations are an odd mix of blockbusters and Oscar contenders. Best Picture winner “12 Years A Slave” is going against franchise film and box-office hit “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” for the Movie of the Year. Jennifer Aniston and Josh Hutcherson appear in the same categories as Oscar winners Lupita Nyong’o and Matthew McConaughey.

The MTV Movie Awards’ unique categories make their typical appearances. How else would movie buffs figure out who had the year’s Best Kiss? Or who gave the Best-Scared-As-S**t Performance? The Oscars sure aren’t going to tell them.

Conan O’Brien will host the show on MTV on Sunday, April 13. 

You can see the full list of nominees below. Or if you have an opinion about which movie had the year’s best #WTF Moment, you can vote for it and all the other nominees here.
