It was a Twilight night at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards! Twilight swept up five awards, including best movie, best kiss and best fight at the irreverent fan-driven event where viewers had a sneak preview of the movie’s forthcoming sequel “New Moon.”

When presenters Denzel Washington and his recent high school graduate daughter announced that Twilight had won Best Movie, the three actors, plus director Catherine Hardwicke and many others involved in the picture, took to the stage to accept the award. The audience, of course, went wild with applause.

Speaking on everyone’s behalf after the crowd began to quiet, Hardwicke thanked studio Summit Entertainment, Twilight author Stephenie Meyer and the “amazing, super passionate fans,” She then uttered an enthusiastic, “Woooo!”

Before anyone else could speak, Andy Samberg closed the show. But by that point, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Cam Gigandet had all had a chance to take the mic and address their fans. And judging by the ferocious applause from the audience, their fans were nothing but grateful.

Twilight won none of the mainstream movie awards earlier this year but has taken more than $382 million at the box office worldwide and has turned its star Robert Pattinson from an unknown into an international heartthrob.
