Are the MTV Movie Awards doing women wrong? So claims a newly launched online petition.
MTV is under siege by the signers of an online petition that blasts the network for only including male characters in its Best Hero category — and demands that “The Hunger Games” heroine Katniss Everdeen be included in the category.

“There is not a single woman in the Hero Category,” the petition fumes. “Don’t let a strong woman like Katniss be overlooked!”
“It’s important that women and girls know there’s a hero out there representing them,” petition author Sophie Azran said.
