Other multiple nominated films included "Juno," "Enchanted," "Transformers," "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" and "Knocked Up."

A new category -- "Best Summer Movie So Far" -- will debut at the annual awards ceremony. Nominees for that category are "Iron Man," " Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," "Sex and the City: The Movie," "Speed Racer" and "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian."
