What to expect from the MTV Movie and TV Awards 2017
"Get Out" is nominated for six awards!
— -- It's the awards show that's given us Zac Efron shirtless, Snoop Dogg smoking onstage with Kesha, along with tons and tons of onstage kisses. The MTV Movie and TV awards are set to air from Hollywood tonight.
When the nominees were announced last month, the horror film written and directed by Jordan Peele, "Get Out," led with six nods.
"Beauty and the Beast" and "Stranger Things" each racked up four nominations while "Atlanta," "Game of Thrones," "Hidden Figures," "Logan," "Moonlight" and "This Is Us" each had three.
The music-centric network also switched it up this year. The awards no longer have different acting categories for each gender. Instead, actors and actresses are competing against each other, such as for best actor in a movie and best actor in a show.
For instance, the nominees for this year's best actor in a movie include Taraji P. Henson, Hugh Jackman, Daniel Kaluuya, James McAvoy, Hailee Steinfeld and Emma Watson.
At the awards show, expect performances by Big Sean, Pitbull, J. Balvin, Camila Cabello and Miley Cyrus' younger sister, Noah.
The MTV Movie and TV Awards, which will be hosted by "Workaholics" star Adam DeVine, airs on tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern on MTV.
