'Breaking Dawn - Part 2': Top 10 Moments Of 2012 To celebrate our long goodbye to the final 'Twilight' film, here are our favorite stories from its epic year.
After so many years dominated by all things "Twilight" here at MTV News, we still can't really believe it's all over. Nevertheless, 2012 was a long goodbye to our favorite vampires, werewolves and the fan frenzy that surrounded the release of the final film in the saga, "Breaking Dawn - Part 2." And because we still can't quite let go of Stephenie Meyer's addictive and well-crafted world, here's a list of our 10 favorite "Breaking Dawn - Part 2"-related moments this year.
The Last First Trailer Trailer siehe Link In March we were treated to the last first teaser trailer for a "Twlight" movie and it was noteworthy for several reasons: it debuted in front of its likely superstar franchise successor "The Hunger Games" and it was the first glimpse fans received of Bella as a vampire, along with Edward and Jacob's reactions.
The Final Poster The powers that be that are in charge of all the "Twilight" posters have kept things simple over the years, using subtle imagery and font to set and tease the tone for all five films, i.e. there has been a lot of Bella, Edward, Jacob etc. standing around and glaring. Thankfully, with the final poster, we were treated to something different by way of an actual action shot and a bunch of new vampire friends.
The Soundtrack Track List is Unveiled Fans were especially excited about the official track listing for the "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" soundtrack, which have always sold very well and often include a collection of soon-to-be-famous, up-and-coming bands. The final soundtrack boasted both big names and small like Green Day, Passion Pit, Ellie Goulding, a song by star Nikki Reed and hubby Paul McDonald and repeat contributors St. Vincent and Christina Perri.
'Breaking Dawn' at the Movie Awards Videoclip siehe Link Although they didn't go home with the most awards at this year's MTV Movie Awards, the "Twilight" cast took home two of the most coveted Golden Popcorn trophies for Movie of the Year and Best Kiss. Those victories marked the fourth year in a row "The Twilight Saga" has won both awards and we're betting they might have a shot at a five-peat for next year.
Secrets and Sex Revealed at Comic-Con In returning to the familiar surroundings of San Diego Comic-Con last summer, the massive pop culture event that had people talking "Twilight" in a major way after their first appearance there in 2008, the "Breaking Dawn" cast and crew were up to their old tricks of teasing their fans with talk of a particularly epic sex scene between Bella and Edward: "In ['Breaking Dawn - Part 2'], we just wanted it to be animals, you're not humans anymore," Kristen Stewart said.
The 'Twilight' Book Club With '50 Shades of Grey' During our last "Twilight"-themed Comic-Con Takeover special, we asked Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson if they had caught up with the "Twilight"-spawned 2012 sensation "50 Shades of Grey" by reading it or forming some sort of book club. Pattinson delighted everyone by entertaining the idea. "I'd just sit there and lick the pages," he joked, which sent Stewart and Lautner into a fit of giggles.
The Twi-Fight Saga Videoclip siehe Link What better way to keep the pre-release momentum for "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" going than by having its very dedicated and opinionated fanbase cast their votes for the Best. "Twilight." Character. Ever. via our epic Twi-Fight Saga? Millions of votes were cast in a surprisingly heated contest which came to a close with the victory of Edward Cullen and a hilarious acceptance from Pattinson himself.
Our final sit-downs with the three stars As is always the case anytime MTV News sits down with the three leading stars of this crazy popular franchise, our final MTV First with Stewart, Pattinson and Lautner was full of laughs, harrowing retrospectives from our video archives and Stewart's admission that her favorite scene in the film is when Lautner's character Jacob strips down to his skivvies in front of Bella's dad Charlie (Billy Burke).
The Premiere Nothing is better than seeing your favorite stars of your favorite films all together and all dressed up for a glamorous Hollywood premiere. The "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" cast did not disappoint with the massive celebration held in their honor in Los Angeles in November, complete with a four hour-long black carpet and a star-studded, exquisitely decorated after party.
The Plot Twist Videoclip siehe Link The best part about the film's heavily guarded and totally shocking-yet-satisfying twist toward the end of the film is that it wasn't spoiled ahead of time. Blood was spilled, heads were severed and the audiences loved every minute of it. Thank you screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and director Bill Condon for your clever, sneaky ways!
Stick with MTV as we count down the Best of 2012, including the Best Songs of 2012, Best Albums of 2012, Best Artists of 2012 and Best Movies of the year.
With just three days left in 2012, it's time to dole out the gleaming crowns, the glittering tiaras, and the rhinestone-spangled banana hammocks honoring the lovely, lucky winners of our yearly best-of roundups! (With the cast of "Magic Mike" in the running for so many awards, we have to be thorough, you know.) We opened up the polls to you, the most discerning and culture-savvy denizens of the internet, while our nominees duked it out for domination in all sorts of creative categories. So strike up the band, clap your hands and get ready to sing your most rousing rendition of "Auld Lang Syne," while we celebrate the successes of...
The award: Best On-Screen Couple And the matching tiaras go to: No surprise here! In the final year of "The Twilight Saga"'s big-screen run, its leading lovers, the newlywed Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, dominated in this category.
The award: Best-Dressed And the couturier's crown goes to: Bella Swan didn't just win the heart of the fandom for her membership in the year's hottest relationship; she also won all of the awards for hunting cougars in a cocktail dress.
The award: Best Channing Tatum Moment And the sequined thong goes to: Despite a strong showing for his other bottomless appearance in "The Vow," Channing's nearly naked turn as a swank stripper in "Magic Mike" was the resounding winner for this year's Sexiest Man Alive.
The award: Best Sex Scene And the solid gold prophylactics go to: Not even the "Twilight" fandom could outvote the National Society for the Appreciation of Robert Pattinson's Nude Upperbutt! Despite a nomination for his vampire bang-a-lang in "Breaking Dawn," his skin-tastic turn as a slutty social climber in "Bel Ami" edged out the top spot.
The award: Best Shirtless Moment And the bronzed Ab Rocker goes to: This category's competition has never been stiffer—from Taylor Kitsch's topless turn in "John Carter" to the entire be-thonged cast of "Magic Mike." But the dark horse in the competition for Most Perfect Pecs of 2012? Ryan Guzman, who won by a landslide for shedding his shirt and showing off his, uh...moves, in "Step Up Revolution."

Wusstet ihr schon, dass... Breaking Dawn Teil 2: Fünf Facts zum Film-Finale
Bildquelle: Summit
Für Twilight-Fans kam das Ende der Vampir-Saga mit „Breaking Dawn – Bis(s) zum Ende der Nacht – Teil 2“ sicher viel zu früh und obwohl viele Bella Swan- und Edward Cullen-Anhänger sicherlich gerne wissen wollten, wie der letzte Teil im Kino umgesetzt wird, war der Startschuss für das Finale am 22. November auch mit etwas Wehmut verbunden. Damit der Twilight-Entzug aber nicht so schlimm wird, haben wir hier noch einmal ein paar Fakten zum fulminanten Film-Finale zusammengefasst.
1) Einige der Nachtszenen wurden gar nicht im Wald gedreht! Wie Robert Pattinson (26) in einem Interview mit MTV verriet, fanden einige Szenen der Twilight-Schlacht gegen die übermächtigen Volturi „in einem massiven Lagerhaus, wo sie normalerweise Kühe verkaufen, mit einer Ladung falschem Papierschnee und grünen Wänden“ statt. Künstliche Büsche und Nebelkanonen machten die Illusion schließlich perfekt.
2) Kristen Stewart (22) trägt als Vampir ja bekanntlich rote Kontaktlinsen. Diese vertrug sie jedoch so schlecht, dass sie laut showbizspy nach dem Dreh sogar zum Augenarzt musste.
3) Robert Pattinson soll laut der OK! während der elfmonatigen Dreharbeiten bei dem Koch des Filmteams immer wieder einfach nur Schinkenbrote bestellt haben, obwohl er sich mit allen möglichen Köstlichkeiten hätte bekochen lassen können.
4) Mackenzie Foy (12), die Renesmee-Darstellerin, hatte eine besonders gute Idee und führte eine Fluch-Regel ein. Jedes Mal, wenn ein Schauspieler schimpfte, musste er einen Betrag in eine Büchse einzahlen. „Kristen hat auch ein paar böse Wörter gesagt, das werde ich nicht verschweigen. Einige haben sogar im Voraus eingezahlt“, sagte Mackenzie laut usatoday. So kamen schließlich sogar über 900 Dollar zusammen!
5) Neben Ellie Goulding (26) mit „Bittersweet“ und Green Day mit „The Forgotten“ ist auch ein „Vampir“ auf dem Breaking Dawn-Soundtrack vertreten: Nikki Reed (24) steuert nämlich zusammen mit ihrem Ehemann, dem Musiker Paul McDonald (28), den Song „All I've Ever Needed“ bei!
