In the eyes of the Academy Awards, “The Hurt Locker” was the Best Picture of 2009. But a loyal army of Twilighters feel differently — and this week, they’re making their opinions known at one of Hollywood’s most visible annual conventions.
“The Twilight Saga: New Moon” has been selected for the ShoWest/Fandango Fan Choice Award, which will be presented Thursday at ShoWest’s Final Night Banquet and Award Ceremony at Bally’s and Paris Las Vegas. The Fan Choice Award was voted on by nearly 50,000 moviegoers, who were asked on Fandango to select their favorite film of 2009.
ShoWest, the largest annual convention for the motion-picture industry, is currently under way in Las Vegas. This year’s installment will once again end with the celebrated Banquet and Award Ceremony, where awards will also be presented to Vanessa Hudgens, Zach Galifianakis, Amanda Seyfried, Sam Worthington and Jerry Bruckheimer. Rumor has it that a producer from the “Twilight” series will accept the award, and a special video message from one of the franchise’s top stars will be played for those in attendance.
“You might have guessed that ‘Avatar’ would have won the Fan Choice Award, since ‘Avatar’ was the top ticket-seller in our company’s history,” explained Fandango Chief Marketing Officer Ted Hong. “But never bet against the passion, loyalty and dedication of the vociferous ‘Twilight’ fans.”
The sequel to “Twilight” garnered nearly 66 percent of the vote — although “Hurt Locker” shouldn’t feel too bad, as the same studio (Summit Entertainment) showed off its diversity in 2009 by releasing both films.
“Moviegoers on Fandango have been behind the franchise from the very beginning, and that’s why the first ‘Twilight’ movie won the Fan Choice Award last year,” Hong added. “The big question will be whether or not ‘Eclipse’ will be in the running for next year’s award, and if the franchise can pull off a three-peat.”
“We are thrilled to once again have the opportunity to partner with Fandango to present the ShoWest/Fandango Fan Choice Award at this year’s ShoWest Final Night Banquet and Award Ceremony,” ShoWest managing director Robert Sunshine said in a statement. “It is no surprise that the fans have chosen the box-office hit ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ as this year’s recipient, and we are excited to present the film with this award.”

Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob? Either way, everyone wins when ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ arrives on DVD and Blu-ray at 12:01 a.m. Saturday — and we’ve got an extended first look at the special features! Watch the video!
The second installation of Stephenie Meyer‘s phenomenal ‘Twilight’ series, ‘New Moon’ finds Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) forced to choose between her vampire love Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). When Edward chooses to leave Bella in order to remove her from harm’s way, she recklessly tests fate in order to glimpse her love once more — and Jacob moves in to protect her with his pack.
But with the rogue vampire Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre) seeking revenge on Bella and moving in for the kill, vamps and werewolves are forced to create an uneasy alliance. And with Edward believing Bella to be dead, can she save him from certain death in Italy at the hands of the ruling vamp clan, the Volturi (Dakota Fanning and Michael Sheen)?
Special features on ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ DVD and Blu-ray include an exclusive look at the next installment, ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’; audio commentary by director Chris Weitz and editor Peter Lambert; a six-part behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of the film; music videos from Death Cab for Cutie, Anya Marina and Mute Math, plus rehearsal footage with Muse, who is featured on the film’s hit soundtrack

From Hollywood Crush:
“New Moon” is scheduled for release on DVD and Blu-ray this Saturday, though fans will be able to pick it up starting on Friday night at midnight (yes, technically Saturday) from many entertainment retailers. Last week we brought you a tiny look at what you’ll get on the DVD, and now here’s a bigger taste. There are three clips in all, pulled from the behind-the-scenes special features, which you can check out below.

From MTV:
I know that the Twilighters among you are all excited for “Eclipse” now that the first trailer trailer has arrived, but there’s still more than three months before the actual movie arrives in theaters. Let’s take a moment to focus on something that’s happening a little sooner: the release of “New Moon” on DVD and Blu-ray.
It hits shelves next week, on Friday night at midnight. It’ll still be available on Saturday and beyond though, so no need to cancel plans if you have some other fun activity going on. To get you psyched, we prepared this little 10-second clip from the DVD’s six-part behind-the-scenes documentary. And hey– maybe it’s just me, but doesn’t that wolf cutout in the clip look an awful lot like an elephant?
