Tonight, Twilight and its cast members received several awards at the 2010 People's Choice Awards.
Twilight was nominated for "Favorite Movie," "Favorite Franchise," and "Favorite On-Screen Team," and the film won all three.
Cast members Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner were also nominated in several award categories.
Taylor Lautner won in his (for "Breakout Movie Actor") over Chris Pine (Star Trek), Zachary Quinto (Star Trek), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (500 Days Of Summer), and Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator Salvation, and Clash Of The Titans).
Robert Pattinson was nominated in the category for "Favorite Movie Actor" alongside heavy-hitters like Brad Pitt (Inglourious Basterds, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, and Burn After Reading), Hugh Jackman (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Ryan Reynolds (The Proposal, X-Men Origins: Wolverine), and, the winner, Johnny Depp (Alice In Wonderland, Public Enemies). It was announced that Depp received the most votes of anyone over the past ten years, making him the "People's Choice of the Decade." Depp gave a very thoughtful acceptance speech for the win, saying "thank you for bestowing upon me all your great treasures." The award presenter for the category, Sacha Baron Cohen (Bruno, Borat), referred to Depp as "the greatest character actor of his generation." So, needless to say, the Twitterverse was very humble at Pattinson's loss, acknowledging Johnny Depp's rightful assumption of the award.
Kristen Stewart, too, was nominated for the category "Favorite Movie Actress" alongside Anne Hathaway (Alice In Wonderland, Bride Wars), Drew Barrymore (He's Just Not That Into You), Jennifer Aniston (Marley & Me), and, the winner, Sandra Bullock (The Proposal, The Blind Side). Bullock, who's recently made history with her work on The Blind Side, was similarly received by Twilight fans for her win.
Also notable this evening was Queen Latifah (the People's Choice Awards hostess)'s inclusion of the vampire genre (and, specifically New Moon) in her opening number, Kellan Lutz's presentation of the award for "Country Artist" (alongside Melrose Place star Katie Cassidy with Carrie Underwood receiving), Queen Latifah's very public and sudden address of Taylor Lautner from the aisleway (where she then took a picture with him, Nicole Kidman, and Keith Urban), and Latifah's hysterical New Moon skit where she begs Edward Cullen to come to the show (but, using his "break up" scene words from The Twilight Saga: New Moon, he refuses).
Note also that Paramore (from the Twilight soundtrack) won for "Favorite Rock Band" over Muse (from the New Moon soundtrack). Also, Anna Kendrick was nominated for the category "Breakout Movie Actress" but lost to Miley Cyrus.
