When fans are allowed to vote online, “Twilight” is almost guaranteed to win. It happened at the MTV Movie Awards and it happened against last night at the Teen Choice Awards as 83 million votes were cast over a huge multitude of categories.
The awards show airs Monday night on FOX so if you plan on watching, run away now, as we are going to spoil several of the awards. Twilight, the film based on the vampire novel by Stephanie Meyer, was the big winner with a whopping eleven awards. It took home (take a deep breath here) choice movie drama, romance, liplock, rumble, soundtrack, movie drama actress (Kristen Stewart), movie drama actor and male hottie (Robert Pattinson), male and female movie fresh faces and movie villain.
“We’ll see you guys in theaters November 20th,” Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob, said to the crowd referring to the second film, New Moon.
The second big winner was Miley Cyrus, who took home six awards including comedy TV show and actress for Hannah Montana; music/dance movie actress and hissy fit for Hannah Montana: The Movie; music single for “The Climb” and summer song for “Before the Storm” which she sings with the Jonas Brothers – who were also the hosts of the show.
Besides the awards, one of the biggest stories to come out of the show was the red carpet exploits of Kathy Griffin who brought the 19-year-old Levi Johnston as her date. Read about that here.

Not sure what to think about Twilight being the top choice of today’s teens. I guess there’s worse films to be the current teen favorite, but still, it really makes you think how great the late John Hughes really was.
