Maybe I’m just out of touch with today’s youth culture, but as I look over this “winners list” from the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, I can’t help but feel like a crotchety old man who complains about the kids today with their loud music and funny ways of talking. The Twilight Saga wiped the floor with the competition, proving that vampire romance is the current king of pop culture, for better or worse.
In the interest of fairness, Screen Rant presents the complete list of winners from the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. Be wary, though: your head may explode as you read which actors and films lost to Twilight.

Is your head still in one piece?
Maybe I’m being unfair to the MTV Movie Awards – after all, these winners were chosen by fan votes, reflecting the democratic consensus of America’s youth. Hell, maybe Zac Efron WAS a better male performer than Robert Downey Jr. or Christian Bale, and maybe Twilight WAS a better film than The Dark Knight, Iron Man, or even Slumdog Millionaire (after all, what is an Oscar for Best Picture compared to an MTV online poll?). And Miley Cyrus beating out Bruce Springsteen in a Best Song category? Makes total sense to me!!!
I’m too old to spend more than five minutes watching MTV these days but some (read: two) highlights from last night’s Awards broadcast included a never-before-seen clip from Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen and the long-awaited debut of the first trailer for The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Other than that…
What do you think about the winners of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards? Do you agree with the results, or do you feel like this awards show needs to be taken out back behind the shed and shot?

LOL! Once more with less feeling? I think that teenagers have been accused of many things. We were once all part of that species.
Poor judgement? Bad taste? I think every generation has its share of fads.
Disco anyone? Flares and muffin tops?? The Bay City Rollers? The fact remains that ‘fads’ fade, and are soon relegated to the pile in which they belong.
Every ‘dog’ has its day, as they say. In ten years time, I can guarantee that these same girls will cringe at their lack of judgement and poor taste!
Now, where did I hide that picture of me with the piercing and Mohawk at the Sex Pistols concert?. . .
LOL,,,Gottarhyme
Bay City Rollers, man your showing your age,,,
Jk bro,,,
I am going to be honest here I DID NOT see teh movie…but i DID see the part where the main actor (Cedrick Dickery from harry potter mind you) went into the sunlight and sparkled and was liek “how could anyone love me I am a monster” or something along thos lines…gimme a freaking break…this movie and its whole phenomena is garbage…I skimmed through the first book and was in SHOCK at teh stupidity of what teh author was writing…This movie and these books shoudl have a label on them stating “NOT FOR ANYONE OVER THE AGE OF TWELVE AND WITHOUT THE ANATOMY OF A WOMAN”…this movie so desperately wants to break out and be the harry potter of the new ages but in simple it will die out an just be a joke…I hate teh whole entire Twilight francise, im deeply sorry to any 12 year olds i may have offended
I agree with the statement..surely this film so impressed me..so romantic..I hope robert pattinson would come to indonesia for visit us here..
