5 Twilight Moon Men Appear for New Moon Trailer Debut on MTV by Nadya Vlassoff
Although
Twilight fans sat on the edges of their seats
on Sunday night, eagerly anticipating the premiere
of the official New Moon trailer, there were plenty
of colourful moments and unexpected surprises
at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. Aside from the New
Moon trailer hype, Sacha Baron Cohen wowed the
crowd with an angelic, but revealing high wire
act above Eminem as Baron flew down to present
the award for Best Male Performance. In a moment
of self-parody related to his previous MTV awards
appearance, the infuriated rapper stormed
out of the ceremony after his bodyguards manhandled
Cohen for his intrusive antics. Despite the crash
landing, all eyes were on the Twilight leads of
New Moon as Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart,
and Taylor Lautner took to the stage to accept
multiple awards in various categories.
Leading up to the official trailer for New
Moon, MTV.com posted an announcement that the
trailer would be broadcast on the website at
7:45pm to ensure that Twilighters wouldn’t be
crashing their site for the exclusive trailer
that was premiering on the show. As Robert Pattinson,
Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart waited to
take the stage to present the trailer, it wasn’t
hard to imagine all of the Twilight Saga fans
that were salivating for a first look of the
New Moon footage. While there has been plenty
of speculation about how director Chris Weitz
will translate the second novel in The Twilight
Saga to the screen, the New Moon trailer certainly
delivered in amping up the action factor and
revealing the intense conflict between Twilight
characters Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, as
Edward leaves Bella alone in the woods.
Interestingly, the fact that a shirtless Taylor Lautner appeared as the bulked up Jacob Black only reinforced how much online fan breath was wasted on the speculation that Lautner couldn’t become the larger, more muscular character. As for Jacob’s physical transformation into a werewolf as he comes to Bella’s rescue, I’ll leave the CG for the fans to devour. Tell us what you think of the New Moon trailer, seriously, I’ve been sitting on the edge of my seat wondering all night.
Given
all of the Twilight talk of Robert Pattinson
and Edward Cullen being noticeably absent for
the majority of New Moon, the trailer did make
full use of its two minutes to show as much
of the charming vampire as possible. Couple
the trailer with the almost kiss between Robert
Pattinson and Kristin Stewart when they walked
on stage to receive their award in the “kiss”
category and Twilight tweens, teens, moms everywhere
got their MTV money’s worth.
Twilight snapped up the most MTV Movie Awards of the night with a total of 5 Moon Men. Here’s a look at the Twilight clean-up:
Best Fight: Robert Pattinson and Cam Giganget “Twilight”
Best Kiss: Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattinson “Twilight”

Now that the official New Moon trailer has hit the net, give us your honest Twilight thoughts.
