Kat has been nominated for the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, under Best Breakthrough Female. Her competitors are Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire), Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia!), Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana: The Movie) and Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical 3: Senior Year).

This year, the nominees were chosen by visitors to their site, and you can actually vote for Kat if you wish here, as long as you’re registered on the MTV website (which is free). Go vote for Kat!

The MTV Movie Awards are aired live on Sunday May 31 at 9PM ET.

The Satellite Award nominations are in and Meryl Streep is leading the pack. Streep was nominated for her roles in both Doubt and Mama Mia!. Competing with Streep in the category of Actress in a Drama is heavyweight Angelina Jolie for Changeling and unexpectedly Melissa Leo for Frozen River. The International Press Academy must have had a soft spot for Frozen River because it was nominated for Best Motion Picture in the drama category as well.

Another name you’re going to hear a number of times at this show is Slumdog Millionaire. This independent film nabbed five nominations including Best Motion Picture in the drama category, Best Director for the work of Danny Boyle, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Original Song for “Jaiho” by A.R. Rahman and Gulzar, Best Film Editing and was named one of the top ten films of the year.

In the comedy category, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is a main contender. Kat Dennings was nominated for Best Actress In a Comedy or Musical and Michael Cera for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical. The film is also up for Best Motion picture in the comedy and musical category.

The big night will take place on December 14th at Century City’s InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. My fingers will be kept crossed for Best Motion Picture in the animated or mixed media category nominee WALL-E.

Actress (Comedy/Musical)

As strong as the dramatic and supporting races are, this category is weak, which means the HFPA will likely round out two or three strong nominations with others from movies that would not normally be considered awards-worthy.

On the comedy/musical side, awards magnet Streep is back in contention with Universal’s big-screen adaptation of the ABBA-loving stage hit “Mamma Mia.”

Two other Oscar winners are in contention in this category — McDormand, who plays a gym worker hungry for plastic surgery in Focus Features’ “Burn After Reading,” and Emma Thompson, as a London airport employee who finds unlikely romance with an American jingle writer (Dustin Hoffman) in Overture Films’ “Last Chance Harvey.”

Scanning the year for standout female performances in comedies, it’s hard to get past the film adaptation of the HBO series “Sex and the City” (New Line), which boasts juicy turns from its core quartet — Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon and Sarah Jessica Parker. As leader of the pack Carrie Bradshaw, Parker must be seen as the favorite.

There might also be room in the category for fresh faces Elizabeth Banks, who plays a regular gal who makes an adult film in the Weinstein Co.’s “Zack and Miri Make a Porno,” and Kat Dennings, who plays Norah in Sony’s “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist.”
