Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 wins six Scream Awards
Perhaps the most anticipated sequel of all time, the final installment of Christopher Nolan's epic "Batman" trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises won the award for "Most Anticipated Movie" with its stars Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt on hand to accept.
The godfather of science fiction, George Lucas, enthralled those in attendance with a surprise appearance as part of a tribute to Darth Vader as the character was bestowed with the Ultimate Villain honor. Screen legend Paul Reubens emerged on stage in character as Pee-wee Herman riding the famed bicycle from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure as he accepted the Visionary Award.
Nicolas Cage made a pyrotechnic filled entrance in receiving the Maverick Award before presenting an exclusive world premiere clip of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Iron Man himself Robert Downey Jr. accepted the Hero Award and presented never before seen footage of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.
The night's other big winners included HBO franchises Game of Thrones and True Blood, which each nabbed three Scream awards, as did Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan, with Aronofsky on hand to accept Best Director honors.

@ROFLitschristian @moviewiz001 "aimed towards kids"? I don't buy that sh*t. LOrd of the Rings and Harry Potter are BOTH fantasy epics, not kiddie movies!

@ghostman @moviewiz001 What p*sses me off is that "professionals" say it can't get nominated because it's aimed towards kids... Uhm, hi. Toy Story 3, Up, The Incredibles? Also, Potter is a very dark series way beyond the comprehension of most kids.

@thedude1 Oh, really? Let's look at his list via Wiki on all the films he's done.... Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Leaving Las Vegas, The Rock, Face/Off, Lord of War, National Treasure, Kick Ass are prob the cream of his crop. And I wouldn't label any of those as the "best movies ever made". Some are really good, but nothing revelatory.

@2movieguys Nicolas Cage has been in some of the best movies ever made. I just hate how some people continue to bash him no matter what movie it is and even before it is released.

Kinda dumb to reveal the results before it airs, but w/e, it wasn't a Live Awards Show. Definitely does NOT fit the motif for "The Ultimate Scream" wtf? But w/e to that too. At least it's finally over.
