Best and Worst of the 2011 MTV Movie Awards: Pattinson and Lautner kiss, Emma Stone, MTV Voters
Plus: Should MTV pull an Oprah on 'Twilight' at the Movie Awards?
Best and Worst: It's time for a 'Twilight' intervention
You have to love the passion "Twilight" fans have for the franchise. They support it almost unwaveringly and the stars appear at event such as the MTV Movie Awards because they truly appreciate the love. Let's be frank, "Twilight" has made Lautner, Stewart and Pattinson household names and given lesser known actors careers and opportunities they might never have had if Summit hadn't taken the chance on the first movie. However, after three straight years of "Twilight," "New Moon" and "Eclipse" dominating the show it's time for an Oprah-Emmy like intervention. After Oprah's show won so many best daytime talk show and best daytime talk show host Emmy Awards, she took herself out of the running so others could get recognition. At this point, for the legitimacy of the MTV Movie Awards (yes, that probably is a contradictory statement) Summit should work with MTV to not have "Breaking Dawn" eligible for the next two years. Perhaps retire it to a Hall of Fame or something. The fact is, the fun of the MTV Movie Awards - a show that used to put the Oscars and the Video Music Awards to shame for a good six or seven years - is absolutely gone. And even the stars of the franchise realize this has gone way overboard. After hearing her competition for Best Actress, Kristen Stewart was visibly embarrassed accepting the "popcorn" for Best Female Performance. And Pattinson treated the whole affair as such a joke he couldn't even remember what he was supposed to say in his tribute moment to "Water for Elephants" co-star Reese Witherspoon.
Worse, judging by the overall winners men don't even vote anymore (see Worst: MTV Voters). It feels like an ice age since broad films such as "Titanic," "The Lord of the Rings," "Wedding Crashers" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" won Best Movie. It's actually only been three years ("Transformers" in 2008).
MTV may panic at the idea of relegating "Breaking Dawn" to just one moment during next year's program, but they shouldn't worry. They'll always have "Hunger Games." If they are lucky...
Plus, if you have the guts to cancel "TRL" and put "Teen Mom" and "Jersey Shore" on the air, you pretty much can do anything.

June 6, 2011 at 4:06AM EST Reply to Commenti like Twilight but i agree, i'm sick of the MTV Movie Awards basically being a Twilight show. the only reason they win is because all their fan sites keep reminding everyone to vote every day for all things Twilight. this is how someone with KStew's limited acting range could beat someone like Emma Watson. maybe Stephenie Meyer herself can present the Hall of Fame award that will forever take all things Twilight out of the running! but then...MTV's viewer #s for their awards shows would probably diminish quite a bit. sigh.
Twilight Fan bottom line.... nobody can't stand Twilight win every years.... It's obvious they are going to win... Twilight fan are so many that of couse they get some many votes... and we will keep voting for them... end of story

June 6, 2011 at 4:10AM EST Reply to Commenthaha, MTV Tween Awards! that is exactly what it has become. i don't know why i watch sometimes when the winners are ridiculous. the actors SHOULD treat it as a joke because it IS. when people can vote over and over again, every freakin' day, there is no way to stop 13 yr old girls, Twi-hards, and other idiots from voting stupidly. and can we ban Twilight from these awards, please??? enough already!
trudie cash, maybe we should ban you,everyone looked liked they were having,this is mtv.

I don't know, I thought Aziz Ansari was pretty damn funny last year. He's one of the few people that pretty much everything he says makes me laugh, but maybe that's just me.

June 7, 2011 at 1:14AM EST Reply to CommentThe whole Chloe Grace Moretz situation was nonsense. She was nominated for three awards and won TWO of them, including what should have been one of the evening's more significant awards, "Best Breakout Star." I mean, it would have been nice to have recognition of a young celebrity who clearly has a growing fanbase that is as supportive of her as the Twilight fans are of their movie and actors. Bottom line, she was half a world away filming Tim Burton's new Dark Shadows movie and couldn't attend, and because of that MTV decided to ignore her and insult all her fans by not even acknowledging her wins. No individual celebrity had a better night than Chloe Moretz, but no one would know that my watching the Twilight Movie Awards, I mean the MTV Movie Awards.
Sad, actually, considering MTV correctly predicted in January 2010 that Chloe Moretz would be a star to watch in 2010, and then at the end of 2010 featured her as one of the stars they were most thankful for in 2010. It would have been nice if they told the world that she won 15 percent of their awards on Sunday night.

June 7, 2011 at 8:50PM EST Reply to CommentThe MTV awards si supposed to be wacky, spontaneous. Remember, this is where we first saw tom playing less, bullock kissing scarleth and bruno straddle eminem's face. ROB WAS THE BEST OF THE NICHT. He saved a boring show. Some jokes by Jason in very bad taste, the worst host I've seen, Too much drama for Brice pregnancy, she is and is very obvious. Rob actually outshined Chelsea and that's hard to do. The kiss Rob-taylor was great and well planned, it's obvios too, but very very funny. There is no more.
ROBERT SAVED THE NIGHT MTV AWARDS, HE WAS THE BEST.
I LOVE HIM MUCH MORE.
Gabe Your right, his soo better without the stupid Cullen character, and Emma Stone also saved it!

June 7, 2011 at 9:30PM EST Reply to CommentStop crying harry potter fans, you are very bad fans and TWILIGHT FANS ARE BETTER.
AND ROBERT PATTINSON THE BEST OF THE WORLD.
HPKATNISSFAN Okay A) Learn correct Grammar and B) Harry Potter fans are not bad we just know that when it all comes down to it Harry Potter is just better. It's grossed more money worldwide books and movies...Where will Twilight be in a few years? Why on the bargain rack because the entire world is getting sick of the series!!
June 10, 2011 at 4:45PM ESTAngel I heard Breaking Dawn is nominated at the Razzie Awards, that means the WORST OF 2011!!! Hope your happy, I am so happy it is being named the Worst Picture :)

June 8, 2011 at 3:45AM EST Reply to CommentI'm so tired of seeing Twilight win every award. For the most part, their not even that good at acting. And all of them are just awkward when they accept awards. Twilight needs to disappear from award shows. It's too predictable when they win and there are much better movies, actors, and actresses that deserve to win more than the Twilight cast does. And Harry Potter fans are not crying. I wasn't into HP 5 or 6, but 7 Part 1 was great. It should have won best movie. And I watch Twilight, but it's a joke. I can't watch it without laughing or listening to music, the movies are so bad. Anyone else other than Kristen deserved to win Best Female Performance. Emma Stone? She was awesome in Easy A. And I love Natalie Portman's acting.
Bottom line.... stop nominating the Twilight series for award shows. Just let the cast sit their in the audience or something and DON'T let them on stage, it's too awkward - even watching from a television.

ROBERT PATTINSON WAS THE BEST IN MTV NIGHT, HE IS A GREAT ACTOR, BEAUTIFUL, SEXY AND FUNY, and I will keep voting for him always.

June 9, 2011 at 10:03PM EST Reply to CommentAs a Harry potter fan, I must say, I am somewhat disappointed. But as a movie fan in general, I can not believe stunningly beautiful and ORIGINAL movies, such as black swan and inception lost to the likes of Justin bieber and twilight. It is positively dispicable. I am a fan of the twilight films, they are entertaining. But, sadly, not nearly the caliber of those they beat out. I realize I should expect no more from hormone driven Tweens, and watching this years awards is clearly am indication as to why I quit in the first place. Oh well. If nothing else, the foo fighters totally rocked the night. But, just a reminder twihards, and keep this in mind, because it's important. R-Patz was Cedric Diggory before he was Edward.
Carmecia Agreed...you have the best comment on here. I too am a HP fan and I am a fan of the Twilight films but there are more artistically driven movies that deserved to win... i.e. Inception or Black Swan.
