Here is a link to the MTV website where you can watch the show in its entirety. The comedy was as always a bit crude, but the demographic that MTV aims for is always catered to shamelessly. Andy Samberg was mixing up his usual hyjinks with a small dose of misogyny. On a bright note Kristen Stewart bypassed the break out award that I was sure she would be nominated for and went straight for Best Female Performance winning in style. Here is a list of the awards won by Twilight or the actors.

Here is a link to the acceptance speaches.
Rob and Kristen teased us when accepting their awards for best kiss with a little of that mojo that we all enjoyed so much in Twilight. It made me wonder how long in advance they planned it. Just as they were about to kiss Kristen pulled away and thanked the crowd for their award. Both Twilight leads were as awkward as usual and we love them that way. I am not sure if I have ever seen two actors who can cast quite the same stiff spell as these two. It always reminds me that this film series may be making Kristen Stewart’s career but it’s not where her heart is. She will always remain in the realm of grunge and independence.
As for Rob, he exhibited the same charming dorkiness and overuse of hair gel that he brings to any appearance. How could he not be endearing to the viewers with his blue blazer and high pitched laugh? Maybe this can explain his large appeal with the ladies who screamed any time he was in any way involved in the festivities. In addition, the rest of the Twilight crew were seated right behind Jim Carey and gained an awful lot of the crowd shots that were spattered throughout the evening.
Though Twilight is certainly a straight commodity I think we queers have claimed our fare share of its brilliance. I have been convinced of this by the sheer amount of references to Twilight’s success at the movie awards on queer sites. It is all thanks to a lovely lady called Stephanie
