With less than a week to go before MTV holds its first Movie & TV Awards ceremony, the network announced nominees for two new categories: Trending and Best Musical Moment.

Trending, presented by Time Inc.’s social-first outlet INSTANT, will celebrate “the greatest viral moments in movies and television from the past year,” according to the announcement on Tuesday. Saturday Night Live (spotlighted for Melissa McCarthy’s Sean Spicer impersonation) and Dr. Phil (for Danielle “Cash Me Ousside” Bregoli) are among the nominees for the category, on which fans can vote via MTV.com.

As for Best Musical Moment, users can vote for the winner directly on musical.ly, though the process takes a non-traditional approach. Fans create custom musical.ly videos using songs from the nominated moments, and each video submission counts as a vote. “Likes” can be used to bolster the position of the nominees, which include Justin Timberlake’s Trolls jam “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” Ariana Grande and John Legend’s “Beauty and the Beast” duet, and Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone’s La La Land ballad “City of Stars.”
