The 1st Annual 'Twilight' Academy Awards

The perfect way to have an academy awards ceremony honouring our beloved Twilight
The Academy Awards have to attract young viewers to remain the biggest awards show. That's why they expanded the Best Picture category to 10 nominees, allowing more populist films to be included.

They've also started a huge social networking push, announcing recently that the ceremony will be streaming live online, and named the unlikely young duo of Anne Hathaway and James Franco as co-hosts.This is all costing the Academy a pretty penny, during a time when movie ticket sales are down. However, all they really need to attract younger viewers is "The Twilight Saga."

I am not suggesting that the prestigious awards show should tarnish its reputation by including "Twilight" nominees in undeserved categories. Most reasonable Twi-Hards are willing to admit Robert Pattinson's performance as Edward doesn't quite match up to Colin Firth in "The King's Speech" or James Franco in "127 Hours."


What I am suggesting, simply, is they add some categories where "Twilight" will be a lock.Young folks love vampires and wizards and supernatural storylines. However, with the current Academy's taste and categories, those films are rarely nominated outside of snoozefest categories like Best Makeup or Best Visual Effects (no offense, makeup people and visual effect dudes). The Academy has added categories in the past like Best Animated Feature Film. Why not a few more?In a selfless effort to help the film industry, I am listing suggestions for new categories and what movies and actors would have been nominated had the awards been included this year. Members of the Academy should note that these not only allow "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" to be nominated multiple times, but also other popular movies like "Paranormal Activity 2" and "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1."

Most of my suggestions are fairly self-explanatory. Obviously, to be considered for Best Supernatural Feature Film, there would have to be supernatural elements in the movie. Others may not seem as clear-cut.Best Performance In A Supernatural Redemption Role is where a supernatural character does something wrong, but makes up for it by doing something right. Jasper Hale almost ate Bella, and then protected her by training the Cullens and the wolf pack to fight newborn vampires.

Parting Note: While I'm very happy with my position as resident (Male) Twi-Hard

at NextMovie, I will entertain offers to become a new Oscars consultant for the

Academy Awards (however my demands will include a private "Twilight" screening

room and a job title that includes the word "vampire").

Robert Pattinson will not attend the Oscars

Oscars producer made a video mentioning Twilight fans and urging us to watch the Oscars on Sunday night. What could it be? The cast has presented before (Rob in 2009, Kristen and Taylor in 2010) and whatever they have planned for Twilight fans is said to be "mindblowing", so it's not just someone presenting. It's something bigger. Question is, what? Here are some tweets about it.
I find this interesting, especially since I believe the first person to tease us was MTV's Josh Horowitz:
He posted that on Twitter on February 18, weeks away from the Oscars. Is this what he was referring to? Maybe.
Now this is what I think it's NOT possible:
Cast presenting. Pretty cool? Yes. Mindblowing? Hardly. It's something better and very unexpected.
Footage of Breaking Dawn? This is not the MTV Movie Awards. The Oscars do not promote future productions. Never have, never will. This is not a stage for that.
This is what I think IS possible:
Twilight sketch featuring the cast. A cool little short film, something funny featuring the actual cast.
A performance with the cast. Rob sings. Kristen sings. Anne Hathaway and James Franco are the presenters and they sing. We've heard since Oscars promotion started that they want this show to be young and fun. Could it be a live musical/comedy opening about Twilight featuring the actual stars? Sounds crazy, but it's the only thing I would call "mindblowing".
A Twilight musical parody/song without the cast. Since they're filming Breaking Dawn, it might be impossible to also prepare for Oscar night. So maybe there will be a fun Twilight little number, but no cast members performing. Maybe Franco and Hathaway will be Edward and Bella?
Whatever it is, it better be good because now we're intrigued, excited and definitely waiting for it. Check back Sunday morning for links to livestreams and also check your local listings to watch the Oscars on TV. Follow us on Twitter for live updates and commentary: @TwilightPoison. We like to live tweet HQ screencaps, so it will be worth it!
