Pattinson, 'Twilight' eclipse MTV awards
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. -- The MTV Movie Awards was more like a ceremony for "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."
The film won best movie, and co-star Robert Pattinson sucked up the spotlight -- and three popcorn-shaped trophies -- at Sunday's shenanigan-packed ceremony, and his co-stars swept up other prime awards.
Among the goofy actor's moments: winning three different awards, unexpectedly kissing co-star Taylor Lautner, and slipping the F-word past censors when presenting Reese Witherspoon with the special MTV Generation Award.
For his role as vampire Edward Cullen in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," Pattinson won best male performance, best fight with co-stars Bryce Dallas Howard and Xavier Samuel, and best kiss with co-star Kristen Stewart, who won best female performance. Instead of smooching each other, Pattinson declared he didn't "feel like kissing" Stewart before he descended back into the audience and planted his lips on Lautner.
"Saturday Night Live" star Jason Sudeikis, who hosted the ceremony, kicked off the show at the Gibson Amphitheater by starring in his own version of "The Hangover" in which he went in search of a lost Lautner.
"Natalie, sorry, but the popcorn is mine," Stewart said mockingly, referencing fellow nominee Natalie Portman, who won the best actress Oscar earlier this year for "Black Swan." It was the third straight year that "Twilight" eclipsed the competition at the fan-favorite awards. "The fact that we're standing up here is a testament to all the hard work that went into 'Eclipse,' " Lautner said.
The non-vampire winners included Emma Stone for best comedic performance in "Easy A," Justin Bieber for best jaw dropping moment in "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never," Alexys Nycole Sanchez for best line in "Grown Ups," and Tom Felton for best villain in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1."
