It's a "powerful love story," is how director Catherine Hardwicke sums up "Twilight." The film boasts no less than seven MTV Movie Awards nominations, and nobody is prouder of that accomplishment than the woman who brought it to life on the big screen.

He's a tough man to track down, but when we put Sway on the beat there was no way we weren't getting some time with the man of the hour this weekend. Everyone's wondering what Eminem's got up his sleeve for his much-anticipated performance at the Movie Awards Sunday night, but only Sway got to pick Em's brain on the eve of the big night.

It's a brand new Eminem that'll be on display at the Gibson Amphitheatre. That much is certain. Check out Sway's chat below to learn about the bad habits Mr. Mathers has dropped and why you just might be seeing him return to the big screen in the not so distant future.

Sure, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds have a movie to pimp (“The Proposal”), but when we sent "Hills" star Stephanie Pratt to catch up with the duo today, they were even more preoccupied with their big day to come at the Movie Awards on Sunday.

You see, Ryan and Sandra are slated to present the Best Kiss award, and lest you thought showing up to an awards show with such a responsibility is a walk in the park, they’re about to set you straight. Remember, there’s the witty presenter pitter-patter to contend with. And even before that there’s the red carpet and the challenge of making a big splash amid dozens of the hottest celebrities around. Luckily Sandra Bullock is a woman with a plan. Watch below and see.

"Hills" star Frankie Delgado has never met a party he hasn’t wanted to go to (this is a well known fact to "Hills" fans) and when the MTV Movie Awards Weekend Guest Host invited MTV News to Deluxe in L.A. to show us how he parties in the days leading up to a big show like the Movie Awards, he definitely didn’t disappoint.

L.A. hotspot Deluxe was jam packed with L.A.'s finest pretty people and Frankie's table was also packed with all his buddies. He showed us around the club and even got behind the bar and displayed his best "Cocktail" style bar moves to the patrons. We're pretty sure that Tom Cruise would have been proud. And, if that wasn’t enough, a few very lucky clubgoers even got specially made drinks by Frankie while in his bartender. Read more...

While co-star Robert Pattinson was a relative newcomer to the Hollywood scene, Kristen Stewart was already a veteran by the time she joined the "Twilight" cast. Stewart was among the first to be added to the roster, and the potential Edward role depended on who she had the most chemistry with.

At least, that's according to director Catherine Hardwicke, who had Stewart audition with the leading candidates -- including obviously Robert Pattinson -- right in her den. What Hardwicke saw made her find Stewart even more impressive, which is why -- according to her -- Stewart deserves the Best Female Performance statue at the MTV Movie Awards tonight at 9 p.m. ET. Check it out below and click here to watch the rest of our interview with the "Twilight" helmer.

MTV News welcomes Shelly Morrison as our official Movie Awards Insider for the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. From now until the big show on Sunday, Shelly will be mixing it up with the hottest celebrities and taking you behind closed doors for one of Hollywood's biggest events.

HOLY MOLY, people! I just had another amazing surprise this morning. I got to watch the "New Moon" trailer that will be airing on Sunday during the big show (airing live at 9 p.m. ET). Amazing! I loved it! It looks like director Chris Weitz has tried to incorporate as many elements from the book as possible, and -- no worries -- the vamps all look great. I was completely speechless at first. Maybe it was just that good. Maybe it was the "top secret" feel of the whole thing. Maybe I'm just a closet Twilighter like so many others. Who knows? What ever the case may be, you will have to tune in Sunday to see it for yourself. Read more...

You don't get very far into Movie Awards history without running into Denzel Washington. The veteran actor has been nominated a whopping eight times, and managed to snag two golden popcorns (for "Training Day" and "Malcolm X").

So naturally, when we chatted up the "Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" star, we asked him what wisdom could he impart to the younger folks like Robert Pattinson. You'll have to watch the video below to get the answer, which is classic Denzel all the way.
