The nominations for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards just came out and, not surprisingly, the year’s biggest blockbusters are up for the most Golden Popcorns.
The Movie of the Year category at the hip awards show pits The Hunger Games against Breaking Dawn Part I and the final Harry Potter film. Epic.
Bridesmaids and The Help round out the nominations for the top prize.
The films up for best picture also duke it out in other categories: Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Watson and Kristen Wiig are all up for Best Female Performance.
Daniel Radcliffe and Josh Hutcherson received nods for Best Male Performance. Twilight’s Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were shut out of each.
Other categories at the annual show include Best Dirtbag, Best Kiss, Best Fight, and Best Gut-Wrenching Moment … the Academy Awards, this is not.

The education market — as Apple and others have noticed — represents a huge mobile opportunity, and today sees the launch of an app that plays on that potential, with added gamification and social twists. PlaySay, a “social language learning” startup, today debuts a free, new Spanish/English iPhone app — along with a licensing deal with HarperCollins and an additional $250,000 in funding, taking total backing in the company up to $820,000. We first heard about PlaySay last year, when it launched at the TC Disrupt conference as a Facebook app that let users learn languages through Facebook’s own content translated into your foreign language of choice: “Your Facebook friends are your new classmates. Check ins, status updates and pictures are your course materials,” founder Ryan Meinzer said at the time. The new iPhone app plays on a similar idea, except that it uses PlaySay’s own platform as the basis of the language learning.
