One gal has played a vampire, another a vampire hunter and the third (and most distinguished of them all) hunted a smooth-talking killer who made up for his lack of supernatural superpowers with an overabundance of vampire-like appetite.
Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale and Jodie Foster have been added to the list of presenters at Sunday's 2012 MTV Movie Awards.
Biel, who hunted vampires alongside Ryan Reynolds and Wesley Snipes in "Blade: Trinity," will hopefully keep her slaying prowess restrained around the stars from "Twilight" and the rest of the otherworldly and sci-fi types at the celeb-packed affair. Beckinsale, of course, has top-lined most of the "Underworld" movies as a cool and action-oriented vamp. Of her many memorable roles, Foster will forever be connected with Hannibal Lector thanks to her Oscar-winning performance in "The Silence of the Lambs."
None of them are strangers to the Movie Awards, of course.
Biel was nominated for Best Female Performance as Adam Sandler's love interest in the comedy "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" four years ago. Four years before that, in 2004, the former "7th Heaven" star was nominated in the "Breakthrough Female Performance" category for the remake of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."
Michael Bay's World War II epic "Pearl Harbor," co-starring Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett, set the stage for Beckinsale's first nomination, which was for Best Female Performance in 2002. Two years later, she was up for Best Trans-Atlantic Breakthrough Performer, and in 2006, "Underworld: Evolution" earned her a non-gender-specific nomination for Best Hero.
Foster was up for Best Female Performance herself for 1994's "Nell," which also earned her an Oscar nomination.
Biel and Beckinsale star together in "Total Recall," the remake of the '80s sci-fi auctioneer that sees Colin Farrell stepping in for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Foster, who last appeared in the Roman Polanski talkative dramady "Carnage," has a sci-fi flick of her own on the way. "Elysium" co-stars Matt Damon and was written and directed by Neill Blomkamp ("District 9").
The trio of actresses just announced will join a who's-who of presenters that includes "The Amazing Spider-Man" stars Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield; Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron from this weekend's "Snow White and the Huntsman" as well as Michael Fassbender, Mila Kunis and Mark Wahlberg.
Fans will be able to choose all the winners. Voting in all 12 categories is open through Saturday, June 2, over at MovieAwards.MTV.com.
It's up to you to decide who goes onstage to collect their Golden Popcorn on Sunday. "The Hunger Games" and "Bridesmaids" lead the field with eight nominations apiece, with "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" and "21 Jump Street" right behind with six nods each.
The MTV Movie Awards will air live from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California, on Sunday, June 3, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
