Only one woman for Global Superstar? Seriously? I liked Kristen just fine before, but now I'm really pulling for her to win.

So all of the males nominated for Best Actor gave better performances last year than Jeff Bridges? LMFAO!!!!!

I will no doubt be watching MTV Movie Awards as it is the best Movie awards better than the Oscars. It's because I watch most of the movies that win awards on MTV.

You sound like the type of person this award show is geared to: a tweener twilight fan.
Twilight will win everything, even though the books and movies suck. I will not be watching these awards.

Ok you have 3 of the kids from Twilight, Harry Potter (whom I do enjoy), and then you have the one and only Johnny Depp. What the heck is MTV thinking? If Depp does not win I'll be absolutely shocked.

I am tired of all the Twilight bashers....If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all.Learn some politeness from Robert Pattinson who is like a breath of fresh air in Hollywood. I am not a tweeny Twihard.....I am 59 years old ....I love the books and I love the movies.....also love the cast....

Grow up, 59 year old. You should know that not everyone has to or should like Twilight.
I am grown up and I didn't say you had to like Twilight. I just think the bashing is in bad taste. You need to grow up and learn how to be polite!!

So, she doesn't have a right to have an opinion? She's not allowed to think and say it sucks? What a great message your sending.
Everyone is allowed to have an opinion...unless it is different than yours.
I wonder if you let your children or possible grandchildren read anything having to do with vampires before they got popular. You're most likely just another blind follower.
Rob Pat isn't that good looking either...oops...guess I'm not allowed to have that opinion.
Well maybe Twilight bashers are getting sick and tired of people going on and on about it. Seriously, I doubt you are 59 and if you are that's still incredibly sad. And why would anyone want to learn anything from Robert Pattinson? Like the person above me said we are all allowed to have an opinion, some people just disagree with yours, Im not trying to be rude but its getting really irritating with the entire Twilight lovers vs. Twilight haters,its kind of like politics in a strange but crazy way.
Also if Johnny Depp doesnt win for Global Superstar then it just shows what kind of sick, twisted world we are living in. I love Emma Watson as well, but for some reason I think Sandra will proably win (or SHOULD win.)

I didn't say anything about opinions either....I just ppl. need to learn how to be polite....And you might need to have your eyes checked hun...

JOHNNY DEPP ALL THE WAY!!!

TwiCrap is going to win because it's fans are batsh*t crazy. Twilight-the movies, the books, the actors, the author, the twitard fans need to go off and die under a rock. Enough Twilight. The movie's suck, the actors suck, and it's based on pedophelia. Everyone, don't say it isn't. What do you get when a 100 year old vampire is in love with a 17 year old? Really? Anyway, we need to get rid of everything Twilight or I think I'll have to kill myself if this goes on any longer.
Well, tonight, I have my fake gun and I will be shooting at those little Twilight amateur actors heads every time they win. God, I wish that wasn't a sin or illegal in real life...
GO HARRY POTTER-MAY HARRY POTTER STILL REIGN SUPREME-EVEN AFTER THE FRANCHISE ENDS. TWILIGHT IS A FAD, HARRY POTTER IS A LIFESTYLE.

Regarding the last line about the gun and stuff when they win, I mean with a fake nerf gun with foam bullets-shot at my TV. Don't worry, I am not going to be at the awards show like a sniper waiting for them, although I'd like to.
