Hooray for Movie Awards season and the cutthroat competition between this year's very deserving group of nominees! And although the majority of the nominations were snagged by some popular wizards, bridesmaids and tributes, there is plenty of Movie Awards love and Golden Popcorn to go around. Kinda.

Speaking of Movie Awards love, we have to give it up to first-time nominee Oliver Cooper for putting together this very clever campaign video and Facebook page.

"These are the nominees for Best Onscreen Dirtbag, but only one of them has a proven track record as a douchebag," the ad begins. "He's been called a crude, pushy creep, and 'the most annoying movie character since Jar Jar Binks.'"

MTV News recently caught up with the Best Onscreen Dirtbag nominee to discuss his creative campaign efforts.

"I'm stoked. I'm putting all my hours in the campaign to win this Dirtbag award," Cooper said. "My strategy is to talk to as many people as I can to win this thing. I'm traveling across the country," he joked. "We don't have much money right now, I'm taking Greyhound buses to different cities telling people why I should win."

The "Project X" star went on to say that he's going for strong word of mouth, as well as a few sympathy votes.

"We're going to put up more videos and hopefully catch a following, get people onboard, who liked the movie or hated me," he said. "There are probably more people that hated me."

"I'm trying to gain as much weight, let myself go as much as possible," he continued, speaking to how he's getting ready for his big night on June 3. "I want people to really think of me as disgusting. 'God that guy is despicable. How can he possibly be in movies?'"
