    'Twilight' Squares Off Against 'The Hunger Games' at the MTV Movie Awards

    Cold-opening Sunday night's MTV Movie Awards with fun. Performing "We Are Young" felt as close to a mission statement as MTV was going to make with their annual hybrid of popularity contest/free-publicity blast. Every year, we get older, but the golden popcorn stays the same age, so it's no surprise that in between roughly seven billion ads for the season premiere of Teen Wolf, the awards were a free-for-all between youth-targeted franchise phenomena Twilight, The Hunger Games, and Harry Potter. Before host Russell Brand faded into the background for much of the show, he delivered the evening's real mission statement, though, with a call-and-response of "Twilight! Hunger Games!" to get the fanbases riled up and set the stage for whatever drama can possibly be wrung from the actual awards.
