Planning for the upcoming MTV Movie Awards is well underway, and some of the show's star presenters were announced Monday. This year's award-givers span the spectrum of stardom, and will include Lindsay Lohan, Steve Carell and Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr. Other big faves to appear include Jack Black, Megan Fox, Seth Rogen and Jennifer Hudson.

At the top of this year's nominees (with the award being a "golden popcorn") are Superbad, with five noms and Juno, which has four. The awards are fan-driven, with voting open up until May 23, and the big show set to go down Sunday, June 1 on MTV (8 pm/ET).

Will you be tuning in — or tuning out? Award shows, which have been the object of critcism as ratings decline, might still be viable when viewers have a say. But then again, Kenny Chesney, who's against fan voting (in country music, at least), has a point, too. What's your take? — Anna Dimond
