MTV Movie Awards 2012 Air Live Sunday June 3

Nominees have been chosen.The golden popcorn statues are ready to be handed out. Now it’s up to you, the faithful fans, to vote on who gets to take them home. Below is the list of the nominees for this year’s MTV Movie Awards. It is no surprise that this year’s three biggest movie franchises, “Harry Potter,” “The Hunger Games” and “The Twilight Saga” are going head to head to head in almost all the categories. And this year there are a few new categories to vote on including Best Music.
Girl Power. Five Upcoming Films. Five Heroines. The odds are ever in our favor.
By Stacy Phay
We made it. “The Hunger Games” is finally opening this week. It was rough going for a little while there but Lionsgate has been kind enough to give us teases and hold events to keep our minds off the wait. The March 23 opening marks the beginning of a trend we hope continues in films for a long time to come – empowered young women. Just after “The Hunger Games” makes its debut, the highly anticipated Julia Roberts/Lily Collins showdown begins in “Mirror Mirror,” and the even more anticipated new look Kristen Stewart comes to “Snow White and the Huntsman,” Scarlett Johansson shows the world she can play with the big boys in “Marvel’s The Avengers” and a “Brave” Princess Merida marks the first time a female hero is the focus of a Disney animated feature film.

Friday 9PM ET/PT | Fringe Season Final May 11


Leonard Nimoy Returns to Fringe Tonight Proving He’s Not Quite Finished Acting Yet!
by Derek J. Samms
Yep, that's right. Leanord Nimoy returns as “William Bell” on the season finale of the J.J.Abrams-produced sci-fi series “Fringe.” The episode airs Friday, May 11, at 9:00PM on FOX. Mr. Nimoy recently spoke to reporters in support of this guest-starring role. While any fan of science fiction would have plenty to ask this iconic actor, the conversation primarily focused on two topics: the evolution of the character William Bell, and Nimoy’s brief semi-retirement from his acting career.
While the actor had hoped to enjoy some time away from work, he admitted he couldn’t resist the invitation to reprise his role on the show. “I’m a sucker for a good character,” he said, pointing out the directions the writers of Fringe have taken William Bell. When the character was first introduced, his motives were unclear, and the viewer and main characters were uncertain whether to trust him. As the series progressed, Bell proved himself and the questions about seemed resolved. Then the writers threw a curve ball.
With the introduction of a parallel universe and alternate timelines, Fringe took an entirely new direction. Now, Nimoy says, there are plenty of new surprises in store for viewers as to the lengths Bell will go to accomplish his goals: “Oh, you’re going to see some interesting things from William Bell tomorrow night. He has become a world of his own. Take that as a hint.”
As for Nimoy’s “retirement,” he gave no solid answers to how much we might see him in the future, but he said the circumstances were right for this appearance. Like his recent voice-over appearance as an action figure in a dream on The Big Bang Theory, he saw this as a project he simply enjoyed being a part of. Both Big Bang and Fringe are smart shows, he says, with talented casts, and when asked to make a guest appearance, he couldn’t resist.
As to whether he will make any appearances in Fringe’s upcoming final season, Nimoy says he hasn’t heard anything yet, but “I’m sure I’ll be getting a call.” With such an intriguing character and an iconic actor that we all love to watch, let’s hope he’s right!
Check out part two of the Fringe season finale tonight at 9:00/8:00c on Fox.
