Although Drew Barrymore has dropped out as host, the 2023 MTV Movie and TV Awards remain set for this Sunday. Fans were able to vote for each category on MTV's Instagram stories, meaning we may see results quite different from the Oscars or the Golden Globes. Though most of the voting has closed, you'll have to wait until Sunday to see who brings home the Golden Popcorn. Here are all the queer films, television series, and actors that have earned nominations.
Check out the awards on MTV and Parmount+ at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Sunday, May 7.
