Amanda Bell of The Examiner has let us know (well not me personally, but I did get a group email) that Rob has been nominated for “Breakthrough Performance Male” at this year’s MTV Movie Awards.  Now I’m not sure how many years Rob can win the “breakthrough” award – clearly he broke through last year, but he’s up against the likes of Ben Barnes, Dev Patel and of course, Taylor Lautner. 

Rob has also been nominated in two other categories thanks to Twilight – “Best Kiss”, but that’s not a surprise is it and “Best Fight” – you get him Rob – Cam deserved it anyway.  Iwas going to provide a link for Amanda’s article , but she has proven to me that she’s a tad lazy with her research considering she thinks Rob is up against Zefron, Shia LeBoofhead and Robert Downey Jr (sorry have a soft spot for Rob Jr – must be the name).  

So if you want to appreciate Rob walking down the red carpet (like the above gif – because who could resist) – show your support by registering your votes for all three here.   You need to sign up, but it doesn’t take very long (trust me).  Voting closes on 27 May 2009  since the awards are being shown live in the US on 31 May 2009 (apparently they will be seen on MTV Australia at 4.00 pm on 1 June 2009, with an encore performance at 7.30 pm (for those of us who work).  If this changes I will let you know).
