A Russian engineering genius with a score to settle. An abandoned bear with vengeance stuffed deep inside of his heart. A young but bitter wizard trying to decide which path is righteous and which path is wrong.

These are just some of the bad guys battling it out for the Best Villain category at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards this year, and based on the lineup of fearsome foes, it's not going to be a clean fight. Keep on reading for the full roster of this year's Best Villain nominees, then make sure to cast your vote for the winner today!

Tom Felton, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1"

Posted 5/20/11 2:48 pm EST by in MTV Movie Awards, Video


MTV Movie Awards host Jason Sudeikis makes everything better, even going to the dentist. Yes, that sounds impossible — nothing makes going to the dentist better — but trust us, it's true.

Just ask Leighton Meester, one of the Best Villain nominees at this year's show. She had an unexpected encounter with Sudeikis at the dentist's office the other day and she couldn't stop laughing for hours! Though in retrospect, maybe that had something to do with the illicit use of laughing gas. Hmm… watch below and see for yourself.

The 2011 MTV Movie Awards are coming your way live on June 5 at 9 / 8PM central.

The cast of “The Oranges” is growing a whole lot juicier. Just after word got out that "House" star Hugh Laurie could make the dark comedy his much-anticipated first lead role in a film, The Hollywood Reporter announces that a slew of top-notch actors are interested in joining him. Adam Brody, Alia Shawkat, Catherine Keener and Allison Janney are all in negotiations to sign onto TV director Julian Farino’s debut in the features department.

The script by Ian Helfer and Jay Reiss, which you may remember as the piece holding the #2 spot on the 2008 black list, has Laurie starring as man who gets romantic with the daughter of a family friend.

Posted 4/15/09 11:11 am EST by in News


Cam GigandetThere's only one thing Twilighters love more than "New Moon" updates, and that's hearing what your favorite "Twilight" actors are up to outside of the vampire franchise -- especially if they won't be returning to Forks, Washington any time soon. Cam Gigandet certainly falls into that category, but happily for fans, he's continuing to enjoy big screen success. Fresh off "The Unborn," Gigandet has signed to costar with "Gossip Girls" Leighton Meester in "The Roommate."

Meester will play Sara, a college who is randomly assigned to a freshman dorm, and stuck with a roommate named Rebecca.

According to Variety, Gigandet will play Meester's boyfriend, which means he'll be one of the unlucky targets. Read More...
