WEDDING CRASHERS and The 40-Year-Old-Virgin are set to dominate the 2006 MTV Movie Awards.
Both movies have received five nominations each including Best Movie and Best Comedic Performance.
Among the other contenders for historically one the most hotly contested awards, Best Kiss, are Brokeback Mountain lovers Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger who are set to battle it out with real life couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who locked lips in their action hit last year, Mr. and Mrs Smith.
This year's awards ceremony is the first time that organisers haven't had separate categories for male and female actors.
From now on the Most Desirable Male and Female categories have become Sexiest Performance, while Best Actor and Actress have become Best Performance.
The awards will take place in Culver City, California, on June 3.
