MTV Movie Awards: Will McLovin Finally Get His Due?

Photo-llustration: Columbia Pictures (McLovin), Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Oscar)

Not that it could ever repair the damage done by his inexplicable defeat at February's Academy Awards, but Christopher "McLovin" Mintz-Plasse's incendiary performance as himself in last summer's Superbad has earned him a nomination for an MTV Movie Award in the Breakthrough Performance category. If there is truly any justice in this world, he'll win this one and Javier Bardem, overcome with guilt, will man up and mail him the trophy he really deserves.
