Did 'Twilight' set a record at Teen Choice Awards?
Yes. The 11 victories by "Twilight" at the Teen Choice Awards were a huge leap over the two films that held the previous record: "The Notebook" (eight wins in 2004) and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" (seven in 2006, one more in 2007).
Among the wins by "Twilight" at the Teen Choice Awards: best drama movie, actor (Robert Pattinson), actress (Kristen Stewart), villain (Cam Gigandet), liplock (Pattinson and Stewart), rumble (Pattinson and Gigandet). See a full list here.
"All the wins were incredible," Ashley Greene (winner, choice female fresh face) told MTV immediately after the sweep. "It's such a bizarre thing to be invited — and then to clean up the way we did? Our fans are indescribable — it's amazing, who does that? Who gets to be a part of that? It's a blast, and it was a really cool show."

Ew, Twilight. Please stop writing about this awful series, Tom. And the Teen Choice Awards. One of the most irrelevant awards out there.

Give me a break! The film wasn't that good. At all. But I've found that when teen buzz takes off, there's little stopping it. I'm sure the producers are sound of that cash register, though.
