MTV Movie Awards: Spartans vs. Pirates

50

MTV has announced the nominees for the 2007 MTV Movie Awards, and leading the pack is the comic book adaptation 300, which got a total of five nominations, followed by the Johnny Depp driven action adventure, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.

The MTV Movie awards are just a little bit different from most awards shows, with categories including “Best Villain”, “Best Kiss”, and even “Best Summer Movie You Haven’t Seen Yet”.
