Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Deadpool dominate the MTV Movie Awards nominations

Ever wanted to see Leonardo DiCaprio duke it out with Deadpool for an award? Well now's your chance; the MTV Movie Awards nominations have been announced.

Its more diverse focus, taking in the likes of Room, doc Wolfpack, as well as blockbusters Avengers: Age of Ultron and Jurassic World actually makes it one of the more interesting awards shows of the season. It's particularly fantastic to see recognition for the oft-ignored efforts of virtual performers (AKA the Andy Serkis category, though he may not actually win this year), and of fight co-ordinators.

Though Deadpool also has a strong sweep of the nominations, expect Star Wars: The Force Awakens to be the big winner of the night. Though, with the franchise's intense filming schedule, it's still up in the air as to whether Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver would actually be able to receive in person their likely awards.
