2008 WENN/POPEATER.COM AWARDS: ROB, KRISTEN, AND ‘TWILIGHT’
Both Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were voted into this year’s Wenn/Popeater.com awards by readers. Rob got himself the title of ‘Hottest New Male’, and Kristen won opposite him, getting ‘Hottest New Female’.
Here’s what Popeater.com had to say about Rob and Kristen, as well as who they beat out:
Hottest New Male – Rob Pattinson
Late newcomer Rob Pattinson has stolen this award from the hunks and studs who have toiled and struggled to look perfect and preened for the past 12 months. The brooding Brit star of vampire film Twilight swept into town in November with his unwashed hair and deep stare and stole the hearts of teenage girls across America. So much so, he won a staggering 50 per cent of the votes in the Hottest New Male category. Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford was a brave contender with 40 per cent – but his teen show co-star Penn Badgley lagged behind in third with a sorry 10 per cent.Hottest New Female – Kristen Stewart
Pattinson wasn’t the only young star to use the Twilight tidal wave to sweep home a WENN/PopEater award – his co-star Kristen Stewart has topped the Hottest New Female poll, pipping Juno actress Ellen Page to the top of the pile. Gossip Girl teen Taylor Momsen managed third place.
‘Twilight’ was up for ‘Movie of the Year’, but came in second place to The Dark Knight.
I’m not so surprised that ‘Dark Knight’ beat out ‘Twilight’ in the ‘Movie of the Year’ category, since it was such a huge hit, and I think it is pretty cool that ‘Twilight’ came in second. But anyways, congrats to Rob and Kristen! I think that’s huge that they were both chosen in their categories.
What do you think of these awards? Are you surprised at the results at all? Do you think any of the other cast members should have been runners-up?
