MTV has announced the categories and nominees for the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards, hosted by Tiffany Haddish, that celebrate the actors, stories and moments that drove pop culture in the last year.

The show will once again feature non-gendered categories – a change that marked an industry-first historic shift. Airing on Tuesday June 19 at 11am from the Barker Hangar in Los Angeles, additional categories and honors will be announced at a later date.

Black Panther, one of the top 10 highest-grossing movies of all time worldwide, leads with seven nominations and marks the first time the film is being recognised at an awards show. It received nods in categories including Best Movie and Best On-Screen Team, while Chadwick Boseman, the title character, was nominated for Best Performance in a Movie and Best Hero.

Additionally, Letitia Wright was nominated in the Scene Stealer category for her role as Shuri and Michael B. Jordan was nominated in the Best Villain category for his portrayal of N'Jadaka/Erik Killmonger.

Stranger Things scored a total of six nominations, including Best Show and Best On-Screen Team. Millie Bobby Brown was nominated for Best Performance in a Show for her portrayal of Eleven and Dacre Montgomery scored a nomination for his role as Billy Hargrove in the Scene Stealer category.

Emmy® Award-winning producer and director Joel Gallen will executive produce and direct the 2018 Movie & TV Awards, returning to the show which he helped create at MTV and produced for 14 years.

Throughout Gallen's career, he helmed a vast array of iconic shows in the live event and variety space. Currently, he is the director and executive producer for Comedy Central's Roast Battle and has executive produced and directed 13 Comedy Central Roasts including the upcoming Bruce Willis Roast.
