'Twilight' Stars And Their Other Projects Dominate Early MTV Movie Awards Nominee List

You can visit MTV.com on May 12th to vote for winners from the final nominees list in all categories.

The early 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 nods for “Twilight” itself, the 2010 early 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 receive a first round nomination 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 Runaway’

'Up in the Air' Totals $83.8 Million in Sales

Closing out on April 8 with 126 days of play, Up in the Air, was the 38th highest-grossing release from 2009. The drama opened in limited release on Dec. 4 to a potent $1.18 million at 15 sites, and then it reached nationwide release on Dec. 23, grossing $11.3 million at 1,895 sites on Christmas weekend. It consistently saw small declines until early March, when it debuted on DVD/Blu-ray.

Up in the Air was the biggest-grossing movie that star George Clooney has carried on his own. Only the Ocean's Eleven movies, The Perfect Storm and Batman and Robin made more, but they were ensembles or movies where Clooney was essentially a cog in a much larger machine. Up in the Air was also the third commercially successful picture in a row for director Jason Reitman, following Juno and Thank You for Smoking, and it soared significantly higher than such recent, similarly-themed pictures as Lost in Translation and About a Boy.

Anna Kendrick On Papermag's 2010 'Beautiful People' List

Anna Kendrick is having something of a moment, to put it mildly. The 24-year-old actress has received so much international acclaim for her turn as the PowerPoint-wielding efficiency expert in director Jason Reitman’s feel-bad film Up in the Air that it’s easy to forget she also appeared in two little movies with “Twilight” in the title. Being nominated for an Oscar will do that for a girl. “You find out with the rest of the world,” Kendrick says. “I was too nervous to watch the nominations on TV, so I went for a jog, but my phone started going off. I sprinted back home, cracked a bottle of champagne and started drinking it before I realized it was 5 a.m.”

It’s a deserved nod to an actress who possesses the kind of onscreen depth more common to older actors. Not that it’s all that surprising, since it turns out Reitman wrote the role with her in mind. “When he told me, I just tried to act really cool,” she says. “I wasn’t all that successful at it.” Self-effacing tendencies aside, Kendrick’s a pro at keeping her nerves in check; she’s already got a decade-plus of acting experience under her belt, including several turns on Broadway in productions of A Little Night Music and High Society, having garnered a Tony nomination for the latter at the age of 12.

Next, she’ll appear with Michael Cera in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen in a black comedy called I’m With Cancer. She says she likes difficult roles—she’s going through a phase where she’s excited about exploring vulnerable characters—and she hopes to continue in challenging parts. “But Meryl Streep was in Stuck on You, so no one’s career is perfect.”
