Ginsburg was also featured in the new MTV category for Best Real Hero alongside tennis star Serena Williams and Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby.

“Game of Thrones” and the Marvel superhero film “Avengers: Endgame” – already the second greatest film of all time after “Avatar” of 2009 – received four nominations each. They included nods for stars Robert Downey Jr, Josh Brolin, Emilia Clarke and Maisie Williams.

MTV again ditched gender classifications, placing men and women together in performance categories in an effort to embrace gender equality and fluidity.
