There's quite an epic battle brewing for Best Song From a Movieat the 2009 MTV
Movie Awards. There's not a genre left unturned, and every type of movie is
represented by the nominated songs.
The category is split between Oscar-nominated songs like A.R. Rahman's "Jai Ho"
from "Slumdog Millionaire" and Bruce Springsteen's title track for "The
Wrestler." But don't count out the teen-girl power: Paramore's "Twilight" theme
"Decode" is competing against Miley Cyrus' empowerment ballad "The Climb" from
"Hannah Montana."
The clear front-runners seem to be Paramore and Cyrus, since
they each hail from tween-favorite soundtracks. Paramore also gets a
push from the Twilighter community, which is very, very loyal to all
things "Twilight."
No disrespect to Springsteen and Rahman, but when two older
dudes are trying to compete with the forces of Cyrus and Paramore,
well, let's just say the Academy isn't voting for this one.
Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams is a Twilighter herself,
so when she was asked to do a song for the movie, she jumped at the
chance. "I chose the title 'Decode,' because the song is about the
building tension, awkwardness, anger and confusion between Bella and
Edward," she said. "Bella is the only mind Edward can't read, and I
feel like that's a big part of the first book and one of the obstacles
for them to overcome. It's one added tension that makes the story even
better."
Will the vampires grab more trophies than the slumdog? What
was the year's ultimate onscreen WTF moment? It's up to you to decide
the winners of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards.
Vote now, and tune in on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET, when the big show airs
live from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.
