Ever since the Spike Guys Choice Awards was carried through the gates of Valhalla to ride eternal, shiny and smelling like Axe body spray, the most chaotic (and therefore, most enjoyable) award show is the MTV Movie & TV Awards. Where else can you find Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short pitted against Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, and Brad Pitt other than Best Fight? Or how about The Batman‘s Colin Farrell vs. You‘s Victoria Pedretti vs. Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s Willem Dafoe for Best Villain?
But my personal favorite category is Best Kiss, where previous winners include Anna Chlumsky and Macaulay Culkin for My Girl, Jason Biggs and Seann William Scott for American Pie 2, and Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who won four years in a row (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 was robbed). Pattinson is again up for Best Kiss at the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards, this time for his sexy smooch with The Batman co-star Zoe Kravitz. But doesn’t he have enough? He’s freaking Batman and has worked with all your favorite directors. Give Best Kiss to the couple that deserves it:
Jackass Forever‘s Poopsies and snake were nominated for Best Kiss, along with Pattinson and Kravitz, Hunter Schafer and Dominic Fike for Euphoria, Lily Collins and Lucien Laviscount for Emily in Paris, and Tom Holland and Zendaya for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Holland and Zendaya will probably win, even though Poopsies and snake have the most electric on-screen chemistry since Rachel Wolfson and this taser. Shame.
