‘Twilight,' ‘Vampire Diaries' dominate Teen Choice

UNIVERSAL CITY, California – Maybe they should switch the name to the Vampire Choice Awards? Bloodsuckers struck another vein at the Teen Choice Awards in the United States with “The Twilight Saga” ruling Sunday's ceremony with 12 wins, including choice fantasy movie and villain, while “The Vampire Diaries” sucked up seven surfboard-shaped trophies at the taped ceremony.
“This is what this night is all about,” said a gothed-out Katy Perry. “Vampires.” The goofy “California Girls” singer hosted the show with the male stars of “Glee.” Besides going goth, her costume changes included donning hippie garb next to Kevin McHale, being crowned prom queen with prom king Chris Colfer, geeking out with Mark Salling and landing a split as a cheerleader alongside Cory Monteith.
“Twilight” stars Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson, who were present to accept their multiple awards, seemingly handed out like candy at the freewheeling ceremony. Of Pattinson's four wins, one was actually not related to the supernatural saga: choice drama movie actor for “Remember Me.” “It's great to win something outside of ‘Twilight,”' said Pattinson.
The awards, which honor celebrities in television, film, music and sports, were selected by over 85 million votes cast online. Other multiple winners included “Gossip Girl,” Ellen DeGeneres, “Pretty Little Liars” and “Wizards of Waverly Place” star Selena Gomez, who picked up trophies in both TV and music categories.
Justin Bieber wasn't in attendance at Sunday's show to retrieve his four awards. Instead, footage was shown of Shaquille O'Neal presenting Bieber with his trophies for choice breakout artist, male artist, summer music star and pop album at his concert last month in Phoenix before Bieber crooned “U Smile.” Taylor Swift also won four awards but wasn't present to accept for choice female country artist, country song for “Fifteen,” country album for “Fearless” and breakout movie actress for “Valentine's Day.”
Winners on hand included choice action-adventure movie actor Channing Tatum for “G.I. Joe” and choice drama movie actress Sandra Bullock for “The Blind Side.” While accepting her trophy, Bullock was interrupted by her “The Proposal” co-star Betty White, who shared the choice movie dance award with her for their tribal routine.
“I hate to blind-side you, but I've been coming to this show for years,” interjected a grooving White. “If you think you're fitting in, think again, dear.”
