I'll get right into it.
The MTV Movie Awards used to be a fun, entertaining awards show where, unlike the Oscars, the nominees are the most popular and funniest films of the year. It was just a fun show that young people can vote for and they also have performances and premieres of movie trailers and exclusive scenes.
Now, we all know my feelings on the Twilight movies. I hate them so clearly I'm biased. I acknowledge that. But they also suck, like they are terrible movies. Critics and regular movie-goers would agree. The only people who feel they should be nominated for Oscars are those biased in favor of the Twilight movies.
It all started in 2009 with Twilight. They were nominated for 6 awards, winning 5 of them. One of which, they had two nominations in one category. And Robert Pattinson won Breakthrough Performance Male… uh, no MTV, him playing Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter would be his breakthrough performance.
New Moon had a slow year the following year with only 4 nominations. But lucky for them, they won all the awards they were nominated for.
This year, Eclipse was nominated in 6 categories. In two of those categories, they had multiple nominations (mostly because K Stew whores herself and kisses both Taylor and Robert). Out of the 6 categories they were nomiated for, they won 5 losing only Best Breakout Star.
I should mention that for the past 3 years, the Twilight Saga has taken home the highest award of Best Movie. Yeah… it beat out amazing movies like Avatar (Oscar Nominated Best Picture), the Harry Potter series, Inception (Oscar Nominated Best Picture), Iron Man, Slumdog Millionaire (Oscar Winning Best Picture), The Dark Knight, The Social Network (Oscar Nominated Best Picture), and Black Swan (Oscar Nominated Best Picture).
I understand that the movies win because they were the most voted for, but they're being voted for by teenage girls multiple times a day while masturbating to pictures of Edward or Jacob while reading Twilight fan fiction and wearing plastic vampire/werewolf fangs. Twilight is also one of those things that you either are obsessed with or don't care about, like Justin Bieber.
MTV, having Twilight win everything is very risky. It can either make or break your show. Personally, I think the MTV Movie Awards have lost what little credibility they had by allowing Twilight to take over. …They win everything, they constantly focus all camera attention on the 3 cast members (one of which is camera shy and uncomfortable to watch -- that would be the girl with the personality of a wall), they premiere the trailer at the end of the show just to keep viewers (that shows that the show couldn't do well on its own).
With Breaking Dawn: Parts 1 and 2 (don't get me started on the unnecessary 2 parts) coming out this year and next year, it's needless to say that I will not be watching 2012 and 2013's MTV Movie Awards. If MTV had a soul, they would be a lot of focus on the final Harry Potter movie. Harry has been around for 11 years and has gotten little recognition. Over the past 10 awards shows, Harry Potter has only been nominated 18 times and won twice, both going to Tom Felton the past two years for Best Villain. So, in basic terms…
Harry Potter Series - 10 awards shows - 18 nominations - 2 wins - one movie left
Twilight Saga - 3 awards shows - 19 nominations - 14 wins - two movies left
And don't give me that "clearly that means Twilight is better" because it's not. The Harry Potter series has been nominated for 9 Academy Awards and has an average IMDb.com user rating of 7.4 / 10 stars. The Twilight Saga has zippo Oscar nods and an IMDB.com average rating of 4.9 / 10 stars.
Honestly, I don't know how this rant became a debate of Twilight vs. Harry Potter. My focus was Twilight and MTV's Movie Awards. I hope I made my point. Basically, MTV, I'm starting to think Twilight pays you to let them win. Either that or you need to improve your awards show and regain your credibility.
Okay, I'm done.
