‘This Is Us,’ ‘Stranger Things,’ ‘Atlanta’ Lead MTV Movie and TV Award Nominations

MTV on Thursday unveiled the (slightly confusing) list of nominees for its first-ever MTV Movie & TV Awards, which has TV and film competing in many of the same categories.

For instance, The Flash‘s Grant Gustin and Arrow‘s Stephen Amell are competing against Rogue One‘s Felicity Jones (as well as Hidden Figures‘ Taraji P. Henson, who played a real-life person) for Best Hero, while the Oscar-winning Moonlight is pitted against black-ish and Transparent in the race for Best American Story.

Some categories are less confusing than others. Stranger Things, This Is Us and Atlanta are among the nominees for Show of the Year, while The Walking Dead‘s Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jane the Virgin‘s Gina Rodriguez and Game of Thrones‘ Emilia Clarke will compete for Best Actor in a Show. Other series up for top honors include Marvel’s Luke Cage, Pretty Little Liars, Empire, Insecure, Broad City and, umm, Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party. (#PeakTV!)
