MTV has given one of their premier annual events a facelift, as the MTV Movie Awards now become the MTV Movie & TV Awards. The inaugural telecast -- hosted by actor and comedian Adam Devine -- will air live on Sunday, May 7.

Different from the original awards show, the new format will now include separate categories for TV in addition to film. Another rule change sees actors in both mediums competing against one another for the same awards. The network has also broken down the gender wall with exclusively non-gendered categories -- meaning Emma Watson will go up against Hugh Jackman for top performance honors.

Five new categories make this year's telecast, as MTV hopes to highlight cultural relevancy in today's society. Aside from the explanatory categories Best Host, Best Reality Competition, and Tearjerker, there will also be awards for Best American Story (awarded to the show or film that shows America at its best, open and diverse) and Best Fight Against the System (formerly known as Best Fight -- awarded to the film or show whose characters best exemplify fighting against a system that tries to keep them down).

Jordan Peele's thought-provoking horror film Get Out leads the pack with six nominations, including the top prize Movie of the Year (presented by Toyota C-HR). Its leading star, Daniel Kaluuya, receives his first-ever major U.S. award show nods for Best Actor in a Movie, Next Generation, and Best Duo (with his co-star, Lil Rel Howery).

Meanwhile, Disney's remake of Beauty and the Beast and Netflix's Stranger Things follow with four nods, while Atlanta, Game of Thrones, Hidden Figures, Logan, Moonlight and This Is Us all receive three. Here are all the categories and nominees below:
