Amy Schumer's MTV Movie Awards Will Be A Must-See

by Alanna Bennett

One awards show — and, thus, awards season as a know — is about to get even more awesome: ICYMI, Amy Schumer is hosting the MTV Movie Awards. If her sketch show is any indication (if you don't watch it: Watch her sketch show, now!), then that's sure to lead to a great night of TV. However, while we wait for the night of the awards scheduled for this April, we've luckily already got something pretty great to tide us over until then: Amy Schumer and Anna Kendrick being besties. Or, rather, Schumer fangirling all over Kendrick, and Kendrick playing along like a relatively good sport.

These are two very charming, funny ladies, so it's no surprise that putting the two of them together in a sketch leads to some amazing, good times. In fact, all it does is cement my conviction that waaaay more of our pop culture landscape should involve the pairing up of awesome women with other awesome women — like, so much more of it. In fact, it should really be about 70 percent of everything.

So while Schumer's doing her hosting thing and writing her sketch series, she should consider ringing up a lot more women for some public forced bonding — maybe for new installments of these MTV Movie Awards trailers?

There are plenty of options. Among them:

  • Retta
  • Jessica Williams
  • Tina Fey and Amy Poehler...this is a prerequisite, of course
  • Jennifer Lawrence
  • Anne Hathaway...they can address/slam those Hathahaters
  • Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer — a budding prerequisite. And they're Comedy Central sisters!
  • Mindy Kaling
  • Melissa McCarthy
  • Lupita Nyong'o. We haven't seen the Oscar winner do much comedy, but c'mon, who hasn't fangirled over her by now?
  • Nicki Minaj
  • Kim Kardashian
  • Beyoncé...aways Beyoncé.

While we're waiting for these team-ups to materialize, however, revel in Schumer's Kendrick fangirling below. The MTV Movie Awards will air on April 12:
