Emmy winner and BAFTA nominee Michael Sheen, allegedly got the highest pay check for his work in the second installment of The Twilight Saga
Today Michael Sheen is one of the most in demand character actors in the world. Famously cheap Summit Entertainment spared no expense in landing him for the role of evil vampire Aro in the Twilight movies. For Summit, there was simply no other option, it HAD to be Michael, and they paid him more than anybody else in the cast. For ten minutes of screen time he made more than Those Three [Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner] who had to carry the movie.
For the Best Performance of the Year 2010 category of the National Movie Awards, the UK honored one of its own. Beating out 18 other nominees (including “New Moon” co-stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner), Robert Pattinson walked away with the prize.
Though Rob wasn’t there to accept the award himself, the show aired his acceptance speech as part of a video statement: “As you can see, I’m on location shooting my next film, ‘Water for Elephants’. Thank you for honoring me with the award for ‘Best Performance’. It means a lot to me because you, the fans, decide the winner. Thank you again for voting for me and voting for everything Twilight.”
The UK-based 2010 National Movie Awards aired tonight in London at 8PM local time. Though not all Twilight actors managed to score wins, the franchise did as well as it possibly could. Kristen and Taylor lost to Rob in the ‘Best Performance of the Year’ category, but “New Moon” and “Eclipse” both won in the categories in which they were nominated: ‘Best Movie: Fantasy’ and ‘Most Anticipated Movie of the Summer’, respectively.
Though Rob has been written off by some as a dispensable beyond the world of Twilight, current projects with Oscar-winning co-stars and, certainly, this award, are coming just in time. Fans who believe in the actor are thrilled by accelerating signals of Rob’s artistic credibility.
This was a vid taken from the New Moon cast party at Blue Water Cafe in Yaletown, Vancouver exactly one year ago on May 8th, 2009. It looks like Rob makes his smoke into the shape of a ring at 0:25. Haha, funny! ANDD it totally looks like Rob tilts his head to the left for Kristen to kiss him at 0:43. Don't you think so?? :D I'd like to think so.. ;)
