AceShowbiz - Sharing his thought with MTV News of winning several awards at 2009 MTV Movie Awards over the weekend, Robert Pattinson offered nothing but modest comment. "It's completely polar opposite," he confessed of his Breakthrough Male Performance prize. "I don't even think anybody knew who I was last year."
As for his Best Fight gong, which he shared with "Twilight" co-star Cam Gigandet, the Edward Cullen depicter jokingly said, "It made me feel really tough. Really hard. I don't think I've ever won a fight in my life. It was cool." He went on praising Cam for his second straight victory in the category, saying "That's crazy how he won twice in a row." Cam himself, who shared his 2008 Best Fight MTV Movie Award with "Never Back Down" co-star Sean Faris, chimed in, "It's amazing. For the second time, it was just as amazing." Asked what made him scoring the award repeat, he replied with a laugh, "Just born talent."
Beside winning Breakthrough Male Performance and Best Fight awards, Robert Pattinson also took home another Golden Popcorn statuette for Best Kiss, which he shared with on-screen lover Kristen Stewart. Both stars took the stage together during 2009 MTV Movie Awards which was held at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, Calif. on Sunday evening, May 31, to accept the award.
