Earlier this week, The MTV Movie Awards released their nominations for this year and among the nominees was Jared Leto's Joker from WB's
Suicide Squad, who received a nomination in the "Best Villain" category. This might come as somewhat of a surprise as his take on the Clown Prince of Crime was met with a mostly negative reception from DC fans. Nevertheless, the producers and executives over at MTV seemed to have no problem with his Joker.
Jared Leto was quite pleased with this latest honor. He took to Twitter and wrote a couple lines incorporated from the movie. Here is the tweet:
"Oh, the fire of my loins. The itch in my crotch. The one, the only, infamous MTV Movie Awards - Thank you!!! - Joker."
Fans might remember a slightly different version of those lines from
Suicide Squad when the Joker is describing Harley Quinn to a fellow associate in crime at a club.
The nominees for "Best Villain" also include villains from shows like
Stranger Things and Negan from
The Walking Dead.
Here are all of the nominations for "Best Villain":
-
Allison Williams - Get Out
-
Demogorgon - Stranger Things
-
Jared Leto - Suicide Squad
-
Jeffrey Dean Morgan - The Walking Dead
-
Wes Bentley - American Horror Story
