The platinum rapstress will be on hand to deliver a Golden Popcorn.

According to MTV news, Nicki Minaj is among the stars confirmed to appear at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards on June 5.
This smattering of celebrities will be on hand to present Golden Popcorn statues at the big show. “Eclipse” leads the (wolf)pack of MTV Movie Awards nominees with eight nods, including Best Movie, Best Fight and Best Kiss. Other big flicks in the running for multiple honors include “Inception” (seven nominations) and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” (six nods).

Hosted by Jason Sudeikis, the 20th annual MTV Movie Awards will air live from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California, on Sunday, June 5, at 9 p.m. ET. Head to MovieAwards.MTV.com to vote for a winner in every category until June 4. In addition, voting for Best Movie will stay open throughout the awards show — meaning you’ll have a chance to affect the night’s biggest prize until the very last minute.

“I’m sincerely flattered that the folks from the Mostly Teenage Viewers network have invited me to host this year, and I look forward to keeping the streak of flawless and critically lauded movie awards show hosting in 2011 alive,” “Saturday Night Live” castmember Sudeikis said about the big gig.

“Smart and funny is the new rock and roll for our audience — and that combo pretty much sums up Jason,” said Stephen Friedman, president of MTV. “He is a smartass and a gentleman who never goes for the easy or obvious joke. Because of that, he is the ideal Movie Awards host, and we are confident with him anchoring the show, our audience is in store for unexpected and crazy moments with Hollywood’s biggest stars and musicians.”
