The actor's busy 2011 could earn him a trio of Golden Popcorn statuettes.

In between brokering peace in New York's East Village, suffering a snub at the hands of the People's Sexiest Man Alive nomination committee and giggling over his own Internet meme, Ryan Gosling somehow found time to release three well-received films in 2011. So it should come as no surprise that the actor acquired a number of nods Monday when the 2012 MTV Movie Awards nominations were announced.
The 31-year-old racked up three nominations: Best Male Performance and Best Gut-Wrenching Performance for the action flick "Drive" and Best Kiss (along with co-star Emma Stone) for the romantic comedy "Crazy, Stupid, Love." Gosling's other 2011 film, "The Ides of March," was not nominated.
Gosling is no stranger to MTV's Golden Popcorn, having won a statuette in 2005 for Best Kiss with his "Notebook" co-star (and former girlfriend) Rachel McAdams. Their onstage re-creation of the smoldering smooch is still one of the Movie Award ceremony's most memorable moments. This year, however, Gosling and Best Kiss co-nominee Stone face stiff competition in the form of "Twilight" lovebirds Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who've won the honor three years running.
Elsewhere, Gosling will face Bryce Dallas Howard ("The Help"), Channing Tatum and Rob Riggle ("21 Jump Street"), Tom Cruise ("Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol"), and the women of "Bridesmaids" for Best Gut-Wrenching Performance, while Daniel Radcliffe ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2"), Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("50/50"), Josh Hutcherson ("The Hunger Games") and Channing Tatum ("The Vow") will be his competition for Best Male Performance.
