Last year at the MTV Movie Awards, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" villain Tom Felton conquered the likes of Christoph Waltz's stone-cold Nazi colonel in "Inglourious Basterds" and Ken Jeong's oft-naked mob boss from "The Hangover" to win Best Villain.

This year, Felton's conflicted wizard, Draco Malfoy, returns to the villain category, where he's got to be considered the frontrunner as he gets ready to fight off Waltz ("The Green Hornet"), Leighton Meester ("The Roommate"), Mickey Rourke ("Iron Man 2") and Ned Beatty ("Toy Story 3").

"That's awesome," Felton told MTV News about the new nomination. "People have been voting, so it's amazing."

His 2010 win ended up being a little wacky, as Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell hung above the stage after handing out the award and proceeded to give the young British actor some good-natured grief as he delivered an acceptance speech. This time around, Felton is hoping to have a second, less bizarre go of things. "It was a kind of a blur last year, so I'd be very excited if I get the chance to go back and do it again," he laughed.

The 20th annual MTV Movie Awards air live on Sunday, June 5, at 9 p.m. ET, from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California. Starting Tuesday (May 3), you can head to MovieAwards.MTV.com to vote for a winner in every category, including Best Villain.

To his legions of fans that keep clicking over to the site and casting votes for Draco, Felton expressed his gratitude. "All I can send is my endless appreciation to everyone who is online and campaigning," he said. "I really appreciate it. It's an endless, sweet gesture, after 10 years, that Draco gets a lot of love. It's ironic, in a way, but I love it and appreciate it very much."

"In a way, even though he's known as a slimy bully, he's not really that villainous," Felton added. "There's actually a sweet little boy there. They love to hate me!"

Chris Evans Says 'Puncture' Character Has 'Meat On The Bone'

'Captain America' star plays a flawed, real-life lawyer in the Tribeca Film Festival entry.

Chris Evans has played many larger-than-life characters. But those characters have been based purely in the realm of fantasy. In "Puncture," Evans is trying something new: playing someone who existed in the real world. He'll play real-life lawyer Mike Weiss in the flick, and while his character is a "genius," as he describes him, he's also very flawed and very dark.

It was a welcome change for Evans, who recently suited up as the very not-real Captain America.

"Well, I liked the fact that it was a true story," Evans told MTV News. "That's crazy. I never approached a film or developed a character that existed. Usually I'm making something out of some paper, some words on a page; this was different."

Evans explained that the experience was even more fulfilling since he got to know the people in Mike's life. "There are people who know him, who knew him, who loved him," he said. "His family, friends, I got to go to Houston and sit with his parents, friends, coworkers, buddies and just get all these stories about this guy that was just an amazing human being.

"Everyone had the same things to say about him," he continued. "They said he was so brilliant, so like a genuine genius. One of those guys, it was too much; he was beyond this place. He was so amazing at what he did and as a result the byproduct of that type of genius usually comes in the form of sometimes being a little thoughtless towards people, a little arrogant, a little detached and as a result got really heavily into drugs that obviously didn't end well. But it was such a great layered character; there was so much meat on the bone."

Investors Cough Up $1.6 Million To Dine With Grubwithus, The Brilliant Social Dining Service

The idea behind Grubwithus is an awesome yet simple one. You browse for a restaurant you?d like to go to in a certain city and buy a ticket for your meal at a set price. But the key is that others do this as well, all with the intention of meeting new people over dinner. And when you?re buying your ticket, you can see who your dinner buddies will be. Yes, it?s sort of like Groupon meets Meetup. And yes, it?s brilliant.

So it should be no surprise that a long list of?prominent?early-stage investors have decided they?d love to back Grubwithus. The service, which launched out of Y Combinator last year, has just raised a $1.6 million round. Who?s at the funding table? Andreessen Horowitz, First Round Capital, NEA, SV Angel, Ashton Kutcher, Guy Oseary, Vivi Nevo, Yuri Milner, Felix Shpilman, Maynard Webb, Matt Cutts, Elad Gil, Paul Buchheit, Alexis Ohanian, Start Fund, and Y Combinator.

Alongside the funding, the company is also highlighting two different types of dinners: charity dinners and raffle dinners. And the first two they?re doing are with investors Andreessen Horowitz and NEA.

For the Andreessen Horowitz meal, which takes place a Tamarine in Palo Alto on May 18, you?ll have to bid to win a dinner with John O?Farrell and Scott Weiss (two of the general partners). The proceeds from the bidding will go towards Second Harvest Food Bank. The 10 highest bids will win seats at the table (and the bidding will close 24 hours before the event).

The NEA meal is a raffle one. Essentially, anytime you book a meal on Grubwithus you?ll get a ticket. These tickets can then be used to enter to win access to the NEA meal ? the more tickets you have, the better chance you have of winning the random draw. If you do win, you?ll be asked to pay the $35 set fee for the meal at Reposado in Palo Alto.

Currently, Grubwithus operates in Chicago, San Francisco, New York, DC, and Los Angeles. Boston and Seattle will be opening very soon, co-founder Eddy Lu tells us. The biggest city remains Chicago, as that?s where the service first started, he says.

The team is currently 8 people, but with the new funding they?ll be looking to hire quickly. And they?ll need to, as Lu realizes the competitors and clones will come quickly. One such competitor is LetsLunch, which launched in January.

Lu also envisions expanding the idea of Grubwithus into other verticals and use cases.

That makes sense given the obvious business model. Grubwithus has actually been making revenues since day one, Lu notes. They take a percentage from the restaurants they work with.

?Restaurants love us because we want to create sustainable relationships with them and tell them to make sure they still make money using us,? he says. ?Users also use Grubwithus for social utility, not financial utility, so it?s a bunch of high-quality users coming into these restaurants, not deal-hunting cheapskates,? he continues.

You can probably guess which services he?s alluding to with those statements.

Production Begins On The Set Of ?21 Jump Street: The Movie?

Channing Tatum & Jonah Hill Surface on Set, Johnny Depp to Cameo

The big screen adaption of the TV series 21 Jump Street had begun principal filming as the first photos from the set have make their way to the Internets. Stars Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill were photographed on set, in their police uniforms. The film got a boost of cred recently when it was reported Johnny Depp, who starred on the original TV series, will make a cameo in the film. Whether you like it or not, 21 Jump Street: The Movie is coming our way.

It looks like Jonah Hill has gotten his wish. ComingSoon.net has confirmed that Johnny Depp will indeed have a small cameo role in Columbia Pictures? 21 Jump Street, which is now filming for a March 16, 2012 release. To be directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs), the big screen adaptation stars Hill, Channing Tatum, Ice Cube, Brie Larson, Rob Riggle, DeRay Davis, Dave Franco and Jake Johnson. Based on the Fox series that ran from 1987 to 1991, the movie will center on two undercover cops (Hill and Tatum), who are assigned to work in schools. Cube is playing the police chief and Larson is the female lead. Hill had previously said that they had written a ?really funny? cameo for Depp and was hopeful that he would do it. Depp, who played Officer Tom Hanson in the series for 80 episodes, can next be seen in theaters when Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides opens on May 20.

While I **honestly** do not believe the world needs a 21 Jump Street movie, I will see this film when it gets released for 2 reasons ? Channing Tatum and Johnny Depp. I used to watch 21 Jump Street back in the day but it wasn?t one of my fave shows. I?d watch it when it was on but I didn?t think it was anything special. This movie is going to be cheese-o-rama. Any Jump Street fans out there? Are you excited about this film?

"It was an amazing honor to be asked by Kate and William to perform at their party," Goulding, who also performed Saturday on a Tina Fey-hosted Saturday Night Live, told the BBC recently. "The atmosphere was incredible, and it is a night I will never forget."

Goulding, 24, serenaded Prince William, his wife, Duchess Catherine, and a slew of other top-tier guests with her version of "Your Song," originally written by Sir Elton John, a close friend of the late Princess Diana.
