'Twilight' soundtrack wins American Music Award - The Twilight soundtrack has won the 2009 American Music Award for Favorite Movie Soundtrack. The award was not presented during the 3-hour long telecast of the awards, but it was given before the ceremony and listed in the credits with other awards that were not shown during the Sunday night broadcast.
It might seem strange that the weekend the second movie in the Twilight franchise based on the bestselling books by Stephenie Meyer was released that the first film, released a year ago, was still earning awards. The Twilight Saga: New Moon, starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner, opened in theaters at midnight November 20 to record-breaking box office sales.
The Twilight Soundtrack has sold millions of copies, not least in part because it contains two songs co-written and performed by one of the movie's stars, Robert Pattinson. Other musical artists on the album include: Muse, Paramore, Linkin Park, Iron & Wine, Collective Soul, Perry Farrell, The Black Ghosts, Mutemath, and Blue Foundation.
