Some of you might know, some of you might not, but MTV has been hosting an MTV Movie Brawl for 2012 which was a slew of some of the most anticipated movies for 2012 all competing against one another just to see what sole movie was the most anticipated of 2012. Some of these movies included The Hunger Games, The Dark Night Rises, Breaking Dawn Part 2, Snow White and the Huntsman, and MANY more amazing titles. But the winner, thanks to more than 3 million votes, is Robert Pattinson's Cosmopolis! That's right guys, Rob's movie even beat out Breaking Dawn Part 2. We're still proud of him regardless, can't wait for this movie!
Rob's Cosmopolis Wins MTV Brawl 2012.
The final buzzer has sounded, the brawl for it all is over, and Robert
Pattinson is the last man standing: "Cosmopolis" has won MTV Movie Brawl
2012.
His indie drama made for one hell of a Cinderella story in the
vote-driven tournament to pick the must-see movie of the year. Entering
the bracket as a #4 seed (following an impressive showing in the play-in
round), "Cosmopolis" appeared to be facing an unavoidable Elite Eight
ouster. What were the chances Pattinson's cerebral film about a young
finance wiz taking a day-long limo ride though New York City would beat
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2"? Apparently pretty good.
Fans banded together, choosing to support RPattz's post-vampire career
rather than the franchise that made him a star. "Breaking Dawn" was sent
packing.
And so, after easily fighting off "The Dark Knight Rises," "Cosmopolis"
came to face "The Hunger Games," a brand-new franchise that had waltzed
through the tournament and seemed to be the odds-on favorite to win the
whole tourney. But it was not to be. After more than 3 million votes
and a slew of lead changes, Pattinson's film beat back Jennifer
Lawrence's series to become the undisputed champion of the Movie Brawl.
Hours before voting closed Monday afternoon (January 23), with
"Cosmopolis" staking out an insurmountable lead and the MTV Movies team
at the Sundance Film Festival, we broke the news to Pattinson's co-star,
Paul Giamatti, that their film had won the tournament.
"Holy cow, that's astounding!" he said. "The fact of that is amazing. ... That's a really cool thing that it brings that visibility to that movie."
It's been a whirlwind few weeks in the tournament, so we'd like to thank
all the fans who voted. The Brawl broke bigger than we could have ever
hoped. Well over 5 million votes were cast. The competition spread
wildly over Twitter and Facebook. Our comments sections caught fire as
fans debated, argued and rallied. In the end, though, only one film
could stand as the undisputed champion of the MTV Movie Brawl.
Pattinson, Giamatti, director David Cronenberg and everyone connected to
"Cosmopolis" — we salute you!

What: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner set millions of hearts racing as they took to the stage to debut the New Moon trailer, at the awards in 2009. Excitement reached fever pitch as the trio stepped up to the mike, and Kristen could hardly be heard for screaming, when she declared: 'Twilight fans, whether you're team Jacob or Team Edward, we want to thank you for your undying support over the last year.' Sadly, with New Moon and Eclipse already on our screens, and Breaking Dawn yet to commence filming, Twilight's top three won't be attending this year. Instead, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz will represent the Cullen clan.
