THE sun never seems to set on the "Twilight" movie franchise.
The second film in the vampire romance series won five prizes at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, just as the first picture did a year ago.
In what amounted to a two-hour infomercial for the blockbuster, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" was named best movie, while stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson picked up multiple honors.
Fans were also treated to an exclusive preview of the third film, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," which opens in theaters on June 30.
Stewart won for best female performance and best kiss, sharing the latter award with Pattinson. The real-life lovers staged an awkward smooch for the benefit of the overly excitable "Twilight" fans in the crowd at the Gibson Amphitheatre near Hollywood. Pattinson also won for best male performance, and was named global superstar.
Tom Cruise stole the show in the first half hour when he took to the stage for a dance routine with Jennifer Lopez.
The 47-year-old actor wowed the crowd with a saucy, booty-slapping, crotch-grabbing performance that climaxed with a splits worthy of James Brown.
"It was a lot of fun," he told reporters afterward.
Sandra Bullock received a career achievement award.
"Now that we have done that, can we please go back to normal? Because therapy is really expensive," she said, evidently trying to defuse the outpouring of pity in the wake of her marital woes.
Tom Felton of the "Harry Potter" franchise said he was embarrassed to take the best villain statuette over Christoph Waltz, who won virtually every prize during awards season for "Inglourious Basterds."
"To be in the same category is a bit of a joke, really, let alone to actually beat him."
