Add to that, the action-packed appearance of Transformers: Dark of the Moon’s Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel and Patrick Dempsey and perennial favorite Cameron Diaz presenting with Jason Segel, as well as the outrageous and talented Nicki Minaj. This year’s show is sure to deliver more of the one-of-a-kind and unpredictable moments the MTV Movie Awards are known for.

As announced last week, Australian heart-throb and star of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Xavier Samuel, has been nominated for two awards; Best Breakout Star and Best Fight alongside his co-stars Robert Pattinson and Bryce Dallas Howard.

The 2011 MTV Movie Awards will be a dead heat as the blockbusters Inception and The Social Network give fan favorite film franchises The Twilight Saga and Harry Potter some serious competition that could make the night anyone’s to win.
