MTV Movie Awards: Rob Pattinson Steals the Show and a Kiss From Kristen

As Team Edward gears up to claim victory over Team Jacob this month when The Twilight Saga: Eclipse finally hits theaters, Twihards let it be known that they're not done celebrating the splendor that was New Moon yet.

The vampirific sequel was named Best Movie at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday and saw its reach extend into five categories overall, more proof that the young'uns who vote for such things don't give two hoots what critics say, they just want their Ed TV.

And it's ironic that there's now an award for Best WTF Moment, considering the entire telecast itself was, in fact, a chain of WTF moments. Some were excruciatingly bad (A for effort, host Aziz Ansari) but, happily, many ranged from quite funny to downright hilarious.

First of all, perhaps sensing cinematic blood in the water once again, Robert Pattinson and his smokin' short 'do had a very dominant night.

The British heartthrob took home a leading three gilded buckets of popcorn, including the first-ever bucket for Global Superstar, a fans' choice award for which he beat out both of his Twilight cosuperstars as well as Zac Efron and Johnny Depp.

Pattinson also won for Best Male Performance, after which he endearingly thanked his parents for conceiving him and Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke, "who I owe a lot now, like everything."

Kristen Stewart, winner for Best Female Performance for New Moon, gave one of her signature nonspeeches, first asking the stars of Grownups, who presented her with the award, if they "want to do this for me?"

"Thank you so much. I guess Twilight is really awesome, and I agree. Whoo!" she gave a thumbs-up. [Director] Chris Weitz, I haven't talked to him in awhile. How cool is this, right? I'm going to peace out and thank you so much."

Pattinson, sitting with his knees tucked under his chin, looked positively dazzled the entire time, however. And that must have stirred his inner mischief-maker because, when he and Stewart made their second trip in as many years to the podium to accept the popcorn for Best Kiss, he didn't let his costar get away with her usual "it takes a lot of smoke and mirrors to make us look good kissing," and planted one on her anyway when her guard was down.

Stewart somehow managed not to spontaneously combust.
