The band obviously is a fan of movies -- after all, their current album is called American Beauty/American Psycho -- but oddly enough, bass player Pete Wentz says his favorite films of the past year aren't among Sunday night's nominees.
"I thought this was a great year for movies," he tells ABC Radio when asked to name the movies he enjoyed the most this past year. "Personally, I would say a movie [that] we were involved in a very, very small part....I thought this movie Big Hero 6 was just awesome."
Fall Out Boy contributed the song "Immortals" to the soundtrack of Big Hero 6. An alternate version appears on American Beauty/American Psycho.
Another movie that Pete says he enjoyed this past year was a big-budget sci-fi epic.
"Interstellar, I thought that was just such a good movie," he says of the Christopher Nolan film, which starred Matthew McConaughey as an astronaut who travels through a wormhole to save humanity. "I feel like...it captured so many moments and emotions and ideas all in one. It was just a good movie."
Neither Big Hero 6 nor Interstellar are nominated Sunday night -- the leading nominees are The Fault in Our Stars, Guardians of the Galaxy and Neighbors.
By the way, in the Best Musical Moment category, Chris Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy, Seth Rogen and Zac Efron in Neighbors, Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig in The Skeleton Twins and Miles Teller in Whiplash are all competing against Jennifer Lawrence and her haunting rendition of “The Hanging Tree” from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. That song actually became a top-40 hit.
The 2015 MTV Movie Awards, hosted by Amy Schumer, will air live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on April 12.
