'Twilight: Eclipse' Leads MTV Movie Awards Nods

MAY 4, 2011 - The third Twilight film led the contenders for the 2011 MTV Movie Awards with eight nominations, extending the vampire series' dominance of the cable channel's annual light-hearted salute to Hollywood.

The 2011 MTV Movie Awards is the only awards show where Black Swan Oscar winner Natalie Portman and Jackass 3D star Steve-O will compete with James Franco, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page and Justin Bieber to see who takes home the popcorn for BEST JAW-DROPPING MOMENT.

Meanwhile, newcomer Jesse Eisenberg will try to tackle Movie Award vets Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Daniel Radcliffe and Zac Efron for BEST MALE PERFORMANCE. In the brand-new category BEST LINE FROM A MOVIE, The Social Network takes on “Inception, Grown Ups and Easy A not once, but twice on the heels of the flick’s two nods for this year’s most memorable dialogue.

And while Zack Galifianakis walked away with a golden popcorn statue last year for Best Comedic Performance, this go-round lone female nominee Emma Stone’s hilarious performance in “Easy A” will attempt to tickle the funny bones of voters over infamous comedy actors Adam Sandler, Ashton Kutcher, Russell Brand and Zach Galifianakis.
