With the MTV Movie Awards wrapped up and the winners basking in the glory of their golden popcorn, we couldn't help but wonder about all the talented actors, filmmakers, and musicians who shared success in this year of movies — even if they didn't score at the big show last night.

Looking at past Movie Awards and the category changes that have emerged, it's interesting to wonder who might have left the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles last night with an award to their name. What if Best On-Screen Duo still existed, for example? Would that have been an instant victory for Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis? That's the question we're tackling after the jump as we get into full-on daydreaming mode about the Movie Awards categories of yesteryear and the stars of 2011.

Best On-Screen Duo (1992-2006)
Mila and Natalie showed some real intense chemistry on screen in "Black Swan." While the on-going competition and jealously between the two dancers may make them seem like candidates for worst enemies, how can anyone forget their awesome hook up scene after a night of crazy drugs, dancing, and booze? They might've lost Best Kiss, but they'd definitely get our vote for best duo!

Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, "Black Swan"
At the height of Nina Sayers' trip towards a psychotic break, the up-and-coming and overly pressured dancer embarks on a drugged up night of passion with her colleague and rival Lilly — a memorable, if somewhat disturbing, first kiss.

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint vs. Death Eaters, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1"

If at one time or another you've found yourself a little put off, or scared even, of a Twi-hard, you're not alone. After all, no one knows that better than the cast of "The Twilight Saga" who have seen firsthand how fans can take their undying love for undying love a little too far.

Those same fans will have plenty of reason to get excited this Wednesday (April 13) when MTV News brings you "MTV First: Taylor Lautner," a sit-down interview with Taylor where he'll take fan questions and premiere the first trailer for his latest movie, "Abduction."

In honor of all this, we're taking a look back at our all-time favorite MTV moments with Taylor, all leading up to the big interview. So, it seemed only fitting that after we recollected the 19-year-old superstar's brush with Les Grossman and comparing abs with Robert Pattinson, we look at a moment in which Taylor told us a story about a seriously devoted fan.

In our #3 moment Taylor described how one hardcore Twi-hard figured out a way to have him with her... permanently.

Taylor Lautner's new movie is called "Abduction," but if you've ever seen the 19-year-old "Twilight" star without his shirt off, you know they probably just could have called it "Ab-duction." (See what we did there?)

If you're a fan of Taylor and his famous physique, then you'll most certainly want to tune in for "MTV First: Taylor Lautner," a sit-down interview on Wednesday, April 13, with the actor in which he'll answer fan questions and premiere the first trailer for his latest, "Abduction."

We'll be counting down to the big event by looking back at our top five all-time favorite MTV moments with Taylor. Yesterday we reminisced about his run-in with Les Grossman in our #5 moment and today we'll reflect on the "New Moon" red carpet interview in which Taylor compared his famous abs to those of his equally-adored co-star Robert Pattinson.

All this week we've been counting down our favorite RPattz moments in preparation for "MTV First: Robert Pattinson," a 30-minute chat in which the actor will take questions from our own Josh Horowitz and fans like you, in addition to debuting an exclusive new clip from his latest movie "Water for Elephants."

It's not easy to narrow all of Robert's memorable moments down to just five -- so far we've reminisced about his very first interview with MTV, that awkward/sexy near-kiss with Kristen Stewart at the MTV Movie Awards, his first trip to the Academy Awards and his thoughts on "Twilight" brand glitter lube -- but our #1 choice was a no-brainer.

Now, we here at MTV get a lot of interesting responses from celebrities during interviews. Sometimes it's a detailed account about their latest venture, other times it's an out-of-left field anecdote that sets the conversation on a very different course. Then there are the times when Robert Pattinson describes something as "bullsh--."

There are many people out there complaining about vampire fatigue. Between the massive success of franchises like "Twilight," "True Blood" and "The Vampire Diaries," it's not hard to see that those pesky bloodsuckers have their fangs firmly buried into the popular consciousness' collective jugular vein.

But is there really such a thing as too many vampires? For director David Slade, his latest career move suggests that the answer is a resounding "no."

Slade, best known for his work as the director of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" and "30 Days of Night," is going for the vampire movie hat-trick by signing onto "The Last Voyage of the Demeter." The Hollywood Reporter broke the news of his involvement on the long-developing Phoenix Pictures vampire flick, which already has Ben Kingsley and Noomi Rapace attached as co-stars. Casting for the lead role is currently underway.

You may not be able to attend the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" premiere in London, but a handful of folks in the Twitter-Wood feed received invitations and shared what they were up to en route.

Another traveling tale that showed up today came from David Slade, who happened to see someone watching a pirated version of his movie "Eclipse" on a plane. You can check out how he felt about that after the jump, as well as what Duncan Jones and Edgar Wright had to say about the passing of "Blue Velvet" producer Dino De Laurentiis... and how Jim Gaffigan views Veterans Day.

I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is Twitter-Wood for November 11, 2010. Read more...
