‘Twilight' sinks fangs into Teen Choice Awards
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 11 - 08 - 2009


“Twilight” didn't suck at the Teen Choice Awards.
The adolescent vampire drama dominated Sunday's ceremony with 11 wins, including choice movie drama, romance, liplock, rumble and soundtrack. Kristen Stewart won the movie drama actress category while Robert Pattinson picked up two surfboard-shaped trophies - one for movie drama actor, another for male hottie.
“We'll see you guys in theaters November 20th,” co-star Taylor Lautner teased the squealing crowd. Lautner and Ashley Greene, who will appear alongside Stewart and Pattinson in the upcoming “Twilight” sequel “New Moon,” were honored as the male and female movie fresh faces while Cam Gigandet was crowned movie villain.
“Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke joined the cast on stage to accept the adaptation's pack of trophies.
The Teen Choice Awards, which were selected by over 83 million votes cast online, honor celebrities in TV, film, music and sports. Several winners - including 16-year-old Miley Cyrus and show hosts the Jonas Brothers - took home multiple trophies at the 11th annual ceremony at Universal Studios Hollywood's Gibson Amphitheatre. Cyrus sailed away with six awards, winning for 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” with the Jonas Brothers. Cyrus also presented Britney Spears the ultimate choice award.
“I'm a huge fans of hers,” Cyrus said before a subdued Spears accepted her own surfboard.
The Jonas Brothers won five trophies, including choice male red carpet icons. They kicked off the show performing on a tiny stage that moved through the audience. Throughout the taped ceremony, the trio completed dares submitted by fans. Other big winners included “Gossip Girl” and Zac Efron. Chace Crawford, Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick picked up TV drama actor, actress, villain and TV series awards for the sudsy CW show while Efron won for music/dance movie actor in “High School Musical 3” and comedy movie actor and rockstar moment in “17 Again.”
