Twilight star nominations dominate the 2010 MTV Movie Awards


By Kim Palacios

HollywoodNews.com: The nominee list for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards is proof of how far-reaching the fame of Twilight stars has become. Whereas the 2009 awards saw plenty of nominees for �Twilight� itself, the 2010 award nominations read more like the 2009 project list for the Twilight Saga stars.

The �Best Kiss� category has so much redundancy, it�s almost comical. The three principal Twilighters are nominated for a total of four films: Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson for �The Twilight Saga: New Moon�, Taylor Swift & Taylor Lautner for �Valentine�s Day�, Emilie de Ravin & Robert Pattinson for �Remember Me�, and Kristen Stewart & Dakota Fanning for �The Runaways�.

The only non-principal Twilight actor to be nominated in the awards is Anna Kendrick for �Up in the Air� in the �Best Female Breakout Star� category.

Kristen Stewart (and both of her 2009 films) see a large presence in the �Best Female Performance� category. She is nominated for both the �The Twilight Saga: New Moon� and �The Runaways�, and will go up against Dakota Fanning, who is also a candidate for the latter.

�Best Male Performance� sees both Taylor and Rob for �The Twilight Saga: New Moon�; Rob is nominated again for �Remember Me� (meanwhile, his co-star Emilie de Ravin was nominated for �Best Female Breakout Star� for the film).

Kristen, Rob, and Taylor are all noms in the �Global Superstar� category, which leaves only one more category in which �Twilight� stars received nods. That category is �Best Movie�, and only two of the five mentioned Twilight star films will contend. Unsurprisingly, �The Twilight Saga: New Moon� will compete. The final �Best Movie� nominee? �The Runaways�
