Jonah Hill plays a hapless cop going undercover as a high school student in "21 Jump Street." The actor, recently nominated for an Oscar for "Moneyball," was previously nominated for MTV Movie Awards for Best Comedic Performance and Breakthrough Performance for "Superbad."

Melissa McCarthy is also nominated for Breakthrough Performance, Gut-Wrenching Performance, and Ensemble Cast for her role as an oversexed bridesmaid in "Bridesmaids."

Zach Galifianakis plays Alan, one of a group of friends who black out following a wild bachelor party in "The Hangover, Part II." He won this category two years ago for the original "Hangover," and he was nominated again last year for his performance in "Due Date."

Oliver Cooper plays Costa, one of three teenage boys who throw an epic party that spirals out of control in "Project X." Cooper is also nominated for On-Screen Dirtbag. These are his first MTV Movie Award nominations.
