It worked for Shakespeare in Love, didn't it? With the MTV Movie Awards coming up, Universal says, Let the campaigning begin! A full-page ''For Your Consideration'' ad — trumpeting, of all things, the studio's Bride of Chucky — ran in Variety April 5, 1999. While the treatment is tongue-in-cheek, the ad does ask voters to consider the film in such categories as Best Kiss and Best On-Screen Duo. ''We're not trying to be the Weinsteins of the MTV Awards,'' says Chucky producer David Kirschner, though he thinks the doll is undeniably a star of music-television ilk. ''He'd never be invited to a Vanity Fair party,'' says Kirschner, ''but he would be invited to an MTV party.''
