’21 Jump Street’ and ‘Harry Potter’ also in the running, with Russell Brand on hosting duties

This year's MTV Movie Awards is going to be a tough fight between 'The Hunger Games' and 'Bridesmaids'; both movies are leading the nominations list with 8 nods each.

'21 Jump Street' and 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2' are close behind with 6 nods. Russell Brand will be hosting for the first time; wonder if Katy Perry will be attending the awards then?
