'Twilight,' 'Slumdog' Lead MTV Movie Award Nominees
Monday, May 4, 2009 at 5:54PM
I'm so glad I'm not whatever age you have to be to post something like "EVEN IF YOUR TEAM JACOB VOTE FOR ROB!!!!!" in the comment section of an article announcing the MTV Movie Award nominees. Yes, Twilight earned seven nominations, one more than Slumdog Millionaire for the most of the year, and an overwhelming amount of the comments so far are overly enthusiastic calls to vote for Twilight to win everything.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, though; that movie was a huge hit with MTV's target demo (and beyond), but I wonder if it will sweep, and if it doesn't, how many unreasonable girls will start crying? I remember when this awards show began, it was kind of a hip alternative to the stuffy award shows at the beginning of the year. It had edge and attitude and was really irreverent. That was the point. Now it's the Teen Choice Awards.

< Kate Winslet - Twilight >
Hmmmmm, Kate Winslet was not in Twilight. Maybe she was nominated for "The Reader" ??
OMG. Ben Barnes - The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. You know I'm all over that.
Sorry, yes. The Reader. I was just so overwhelmed...
Anne Hathaway for Bride Wars? Even she's gotta wince over that one!
