2010 MTV Movie Awards: 'New Moon' Sweeps The Entire Show!

Aziz Ansari said it best when he wrapped up last night's unsurprisingly awesome MTV Movie Awards: "What a surprise, 'Twilight' takes it all!" While the sparkly vampires had been tied in nominations with James Cameron's "Avatar," the best-selling franchise swept the show, scoring every award it was nominated for.

That's six out of 10, for those of you keeping track (yes, we're including Anna Kendrick's Best Breakout Performance awards as a win for the "Twilight" crowd, even though she was nominated for "Up in the Air.").



Kristen Stewart started the night off right by taking the Best Female Performance award, with a super cute Robert Pattinson clapping enthusiastically for her the whole time. She then proceeded to give an absolutely awkward (yet, very Kristen) speech, but at least she said it with a genuine smile!

"Thank you so much. This is awesome. Yeah. I guess 'Twilight' is really awesome and I agree, woo! I want to say hi to Chris [Weitz] because I haven't talked to him in a while," Kristen said as her acceptance speech. "How cool is this, Chris? I'm going to peace out, and thank you so much!"

Fortunately the next time she took the stage, that time alongside Rob for the Best Kiss award, her acceptance speech was much better. That's right, let out all your OME's, because Robsten actually kissed, live, on stage, in front of all of you (press play above to relive that moment!). That, my friends, is a first. Just one comment, though: did anyone else notice how they used the "True Blood" theme song "Bad Things" as background music for the kiss clip from "New Moon"? Let the vampire wars over licensing begin!

As for Anna, we were super happy to see her win the Best Breakout Star award, because this really was her year. She stole all her scenes in "New Moon" (all two of them!) and was our favorite part of "Up in the Air."

Since time was of the essence this Movie Awards show with the premiere of "The Hard Times of RJ Berger" following promptly at 11 p.m., Rob received his Best Male Performance and Global Superstar awards at the same time.

He, unlike his earlier costars, thanked more than just the fans for his award, giving a shout-out to "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke to which he said he owes very much now, as well as Chris Weitz, Stephenie Meyer and his family for conceiving him. But there's one person who he seemed to thank above all the rest: Kristen Stewart. She, of course, rolled her eyes at him for his final shout out.

Taylor Lautner Talks About His Fight Not To Be Replaced For ‘New Moon’

(HMG) – There were always stories among ‘Twlight’ fans about the part of Jacob Black almost going to someone else for the sequel, after it was obvious that Taylor Lautner would be unable to bulk up enough to fill the role once again.
But, as we all already know, he surprised everyone, beefing up over the course of a year, and reprising his role as the Native American werewolf in ‘New Moon’.
Today, he took some time to chat with MTV to talk about what really happened.
“[So] I tried to focus on what I could control the whole time and not let whatever was going on outside get to me. And that’s what I did.
“During that whole time, there was no director attached, so nobody could make that kind of decision or announcement without the director. As soon as Chris Weitz became attached, I had all my work done that I had been doing over the past nine, 10 months; it was all good to go.

“It’s not like I went in there trying to pitch myself. It really got blown into something in the media, but that’s what I try to stay away from. Chris was always extremely supportive, and I was glad to have him behind me.
“My main goal going into this film was to bring alive both sides of Jacob; I wanted to capture and continue what I started in ‘Twilight.’ Jacob is best friends with Bella, and then as soon as I transform, I just completely snap and become a different person. So I really hope that came across. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see and hear from the fans when it comes out.”
I think nearly all Twilight fans would have been upset it Taylor Lautner had been replaced, so it all worked out for the best.
