Fueled by a slew of major wins for "Twilight" and Robert Pattinson, The MTV Movie Awards averaged 5.3 million viewers, up by 78 percent and the highest since 2004. According to Broadcasting & Cable, the Movie Awards were up a whopping 92 percent over last year in MTV's target 12-34 demo. Once again, thanks, Robert Pattinson.
