2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards—Here Are All the LGBTQ+ Nominees
A great year for queer representation!
The MTV Movie & TV Awards is recognizing a lot of LGBTQ+ projects and individuals this year, and we love to see it!
Though it was originally launched as an awards show for just movies back in 1992, the MTV Movie & TV Awards has expanded to include categories for television over the years. Thankfully, there is a significant presence of LGBTQ+ nominees in 2022 - from actors to reality stars to TV shows.
Leading the nominations are shows like RuPaul's Drag Race and Euphoria, which put LGBTQ+ contestants and characters at the forefront. Alas, those are far from the only queer nominees who will be featured at this year's ceremony!
Scroll through to see a full list of LGBTQ+ nominees at the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards.
