VIDEO : Black Panther Tops MTV Movie Noms

Los Angeles - Black Panther, the breakthrough superhero film that has become one of the highest-grossing motion pictures of all time, on Thursday led nominations for the MTV Movie and TV Awards. The action movie about the fictional African kingdom of Wakanda led with seven nominations including Best Movie for the June 18 awards, which will be decided by public voting. Placing second with six nominations is Stranger Things, the Netflix series about supernatural occurrences in a small town in Indiana.
