Unlike most other award ceremonies, the MTV Movie and TV Awards honor a few very-specific types of performances in both movies and TV shows. The award show is known for such out-of-the-box categories as Best Breakthrough Performance, Best Comedic Performance, and Best Frightened Performance. Seriously, these much-needed categories is what makes this award show so much fun to watch.

The nominees for Best Breakthrough Performance include Antonia Gentry for "Ginny & Georgia," Ashley Park for "Emily in Paris," Maria Bakalova for "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm," Paul Mescal for "Normal People," and Regé-Jean Page for "Bridgerton."

As for the nominees for Best Comedic Performance, we've got Annie Murphy for "Schitt's Creek," Eric Andre for "Bad Trip," Issa Rae for "Insecure," Jason Sudeikis for "Ted Lasso," and Leslie Jones for "Coming 2 America."

And, get ready for the nominees for Best Frightened Performance: Elisabeth Moss for "The Invisible Man," Jurnee Smollett for "Lovecraft Country," Simone Brown for "Behind Her Eyes," Victoria Pedretti for "The Haunting of Bly Manor," and Vince Vaughn for "Freaky." Okay, we're getting excited.
