No doubt, MTV will do anything to get Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to its upcoming Movie Awards.

We’re sure Brangelina will receive many nominations (remember, this past year included Jolie in Wanted, Changeling and Kung Fu Panda, along with Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Burn After Reading), but for now we know of at least one so far for Ms. Jolie.

My peeps at MTV tell me that this year’s 18th annual awards, which will be handed out on May 31 and telecast live from L.A.’s Gibson Amphitheatre, will include a new category: Best WTF Moment.

Nominees include:

Angelina Jolie: Wanted, Curved Bullet Kill

Amy Poehler: Baby Mama, Peeing in the Sink

Ayush Mahesh Khedekar: Slumdog Millionaire, Jumping in the Poop Shed

Ben Stiller: Tropic Thunder, Tasting the Decapitated Head

Jason Segel and Kristen Bell: Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Naked Breakup

We say Ayush from Slumdog should take home the Golden Popcorn. Do you agree? Let us know what you think.
