The 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards are coming up this weekend — but with a few changes. For starters, Drew Barrymore will no longer be hosting the ceremony out of solidarity with the Writer’s Guild of America strike.

The show will likely remain hostless and the red carpet has since been canceled, but the ceremony is still scheduled to air live from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif., on Sunday (May 7) at 8 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Top Gun: Maverick, The Last of Us and Stranger Things lead the pack with six nominations each. Other nominees include Selena Gomez, Harry Styles, Lizzo, Austin Butler, Keke Palmer, Tom Cruise, Jenna Ortega, Michael B. Jordan, Quinta Brunson and Pedro Pascal. 

Gomez received three nominations including best performance and best kiss for Only Murders in the Building. She’s also up for best documentary for Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me, alongside Lizzo’s HBO Max documentary Love, Lizzo and Sheryl Crow’s self-titled Showtime documentary. The Day the Music Died: The Story of Don Mclean’s American Pie and Jennifer Lopez’s Netflix documentary, Halftime, round out the category.

Butler snagged a best performance in a movie nod for his role in Elvis. The actor will go up against Florence Pugh (Don’t Worry Darling), Palmer (Nope), Jordan (Creed III), and Cruise (Top Gun: Maverick).

Avatar: The Way of Water, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Elvis, Nope, Scream VI, Smile and Top Gun: Maverick make up the category for best movie. Stranger Things, The Last of Us, The White Lotus, Wednesday, Wolf Pack, Yellowstone and Yellowjackets are nominated for best show.

The Little Mermaid’s Halle Bailey and Jonah Hauer-King are listed as presenters as well Jamie Lee Curtis, Tiffany Haddish, Gal Gadot, Busta Rhymes, Lil Dicky, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ayo Edebiri, Havana Rose Liu, Stephanie Hsu, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts‘s Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback; Yellowjackets’s Courtney Eaton, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Liv Hewson, Samantha Hanratty, Sophie Nélisse, and Sophie Thatcher.

Daisy Jones & The Six star Riley Keough is nominated for best performance in a show and best kiss, while Styles’ performance in My Policeman also landed him in the best kiss category and best villain for Don’t Worry Darling.

Nominees for best song include Taylor Swift “Carolina,” (Where the Crawdads Sing), Demi Lovato “Still Alive” (Scream VI), Doja Cat “Vegas,” (Elvis), Lady Gaga “Hold My Hand” (Top Gun: Maverick), Rihanna “Lift Me Up” (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever).
