Twilight Wins Two Awards at UK’s National Movie Awards

According to the press association release:

“Twilight was the big winner at the National Movie Awards, taking home three trophies.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the second in the series, was named best fantasy film and its star Robert Pattinson took the award for best performance.

Its third instalment, Eclipse, which is due out next month, was chosen as the most anticipated summer movie at Wednesday night’s ITV1 awards.

R-Pattz, whose performances as vampire Edward Cullen have made him a huge star, was not able to attend the ceremony at London’s Royal Festival Hall due to filming commitments but said in a video clip: “It means a lot to me because you the fans decided the winner.”

Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr Carlisle Cullen, collected the saga’s other awards.”
