Remember when Twilight was the king of the MTV Movie Awards? The monster film franchise adapted from the Stephenie Meyer novels have won a total of 16 buckets of golden popcorn, making it one of the most successful franchises in Movie Awards history, which is a sentence that make the MTV Movie Awards sound far more important than they actually are, but I digress.
Fact of the matter is, the Breaking Dawn installations of Twilight have been the weakest popcorn nod earners for the franchise: possibly because MTV wants other flicks to get a chance at the awards, or maybe because they've decided that Twilight is a horrible thing after all (and it's way too late to decide that). Breaking Dawn Part 2, the very last film of the saga, only garnered a single nomination in new category Best Shirtless Performance for the film's resident jailbait hunk, Taylor Lautner.
So it won't be up for the trophy it has won for four years straight, Movie of The Year: that award will go to either Ted, Django Unchained, The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, or Silver Linings Playbook. Ted and Django share the year's top honors with seven nominations each while Playbook earned six, Dark Knight Rises holds five, and The Avengers goes up for four. Full list of nominees below:
