MTV Slopar Könsuppdelning I Årets MTV Movie & TV Awards MTV slopar könsuppdelning i årets MTV Movie & TV Awards – Skönheten och Odjuret, Get Out och Stranger Things har flest nomineringar Nu är det dags för årets MTV Movie & TV Awards. Galan, som hyllar det bästa inom film och TV, leds av skådespelaren och komikern Adam Devine och sänds på MTV den 8 maj kl. 21.00. Förutom att MTV i år även hyllar TV-program så slopas de könsuppdelade kategorierna och ersätts med könsneutrala sådana. Nomineringsligan leds av Skönheten och Odjuret, Get Out och Stranger Things. MTV Movie Awards är tillbaka i ny tappning – MTV Movie & TV Awards – och i år har, som namnet antyder, även TV-serier chans att vinna pris. Ännu en nyhet är att MTV i år väljer att slopa könsuppdelade priser och de tidigare kategorierna ”Bästa skådespelare” och ”Bästa skådespelerska” har bytts ut mot könsneutrala ”Bästa film-skådespelare” och ”Bästa TV-skådespelare”. Galan leds i år av komikern och Modern Family-skådespelaren Adam Devine, som även själv är nominerad i kategorin ”Bästa Humorinsats”. Biosuccén Skönheten och Odjuret är en av årets storfavoriter och är nominerad i fyra kategorier, däribland ”Årets film”, tillsammans med den omtalade skräckfilmen Get Out, som är nominerad i ytterligare fem kategorier. Emma Watson (Skönheten och Odjuret) och Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out) tävlar dessutom mot varandra om att kamma hem priset för bästa ”Bästa film-skådespelare”. På TV-sidan ser vi bland annat kritikerrosade Stranger Things i fyra kategorier, bland annat ”Årets TV-show”, samt Game of Thrones-skådespelerskan Emilia Clarke i ”Bästa TV-skådespelare”. Övriga nominerade är bland annat Ryan Gosling och Emma Stone i kategorin ”Bästa kyss” för La La Land och Jared Leto i ”Bästa skurk” för sin roll i Suicide Squad. I och med det nya fokuset på både film och TV introduceras fem nya kategorier; ”Bästa programledare”, ”Bästa Realitytävling”, ”Årets tårdrypare”, ”Bästa amerikanska story” och ”Bästa fight för samhället”. Den sistnämnda är en modern version av tidigare års ”Bästa fight” och går till en film eller TV-serie som belyser ett samhällsproblem och vars karaktärer kämpar för att lösa det. ”Bästa amerikanska story” vinns av den film eller serie som bäst representerar ett öppet och mångsidigt USA. MTV Movie & TV Awards hålls i Los Angeles och sänds på MTV Sverige den 8 maj kl. 21.00 SAMTLIGA NOMINERADE FÖR MTV MOVIE AND TV AWARDS 2017: MOVIE OF THE YEAR (Presented by Toyota C-HR) Beauty and the Beast (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures) Get Out (Universal Pictures) Logan (20th Century Fox) Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures) The Edge of Seventeen (STX Entertainment) The Edge of Seventeen (STX Entertainment) BEST ACTOR IN A MOVIE Daniel Kaluuya – Get Out (Universal Pictures) Emma Watson – Beauty and the Beast (Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures) Hailee Steinfeld – The Edge of Seventeen (STX Entertainment) Hugh Jackman – Logan (20th Century Fox) James McAvoy – Split (Universal Pictures) Taraji P.

  • Jennifer Lynn Jones, Indiana University Successfully Competing in Peak TV Requires Savvy Promotions
    Shape Shifting for Time Shifting: Weight Loss in the Transmediation of This Is Us Jennifer Lynn Jones, Indiana University Successfully competing in Peak TV requires savvy promotions. Generally, “Peak TV” refers to the saturation of scripted television in this alleged new “Golden Age of Television,” with broadcast networks, cable channels, and stand-alone streaming services competing for ever more elusive viewers. Following the Pearson family and its unconventional triplets, NBC’s hit This Is Us (2016 to current) has distinguished itself in Peak TV by updating the generic conventions of a family soap with a mobile narrative temporality, constantly moving from present to past and, as season two glimpses suggest, into the future, in ways that create experiential and affective convergences between characters. This has given the show an edge in an era when network television has struggled with changing televisual viewing practices marked by both time- and platform-shifting. These relate to another significant aspect, body size: a main storyline involves the corpulence and weight loss of sister Kate, which has likewise necessitated body shaping in the contract of actress Chrissy Metz. The vicissitudes of Metz’s body extend Kate’s story, thus creating textual convergences through the body as a platform for transmediation. This response will consider how Metz’s appearances in mainstream television talk shows contribute to this phenomenon. Metz claims that she “committed to Kate’s evolution” in her audition process knowing that it would involve body shaping.1 “Body shaping” refers to any activity meant to transform the body, whether through diet, exercise, prosthetics, surgery, or cosmetology.
