Nominations for the 2009 event were announced Tuesday afternoon with Twilight leading the list, nabbing seven nominations including best movie, best female performance for Kristen Stewart or breakthrough performance male nods for costars Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner.
But the vampire hotties face stiff competition versus the Oscar-winning Indian romance Slumdog Millionaire, which received seven nominations, including best movie, breakthrough performance female for Freida Pinto or breakthrough performance male for Dev Patel.
In the best kiss category, Angelina Jolie or James McAvoy are nominated for Wanted as well as the fan favorite honor, but will have to slay the vampires or the slumdogs before taking home the gold.
For the primary time that year, nominations were selected by the fans or MTV introduced three brand-new categories – best songs from a movie or best WTF moment from one outrageous scene in a movie.
The 18th annual movie awards will be hosted by Saturday Night Live stars Andy Samberg with rapper Eminem set to take the stage at the starstudded affair airing live from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, Calif., in Could 31.
It's vampires versus slumdogs for the coveted Golden Popcorn trophy at that year's MTV Movie Awards.
