I still cannot believe that Taylor Lautner beat out Sam Trammell in this category! TL gave a pretty good performance in New Moon as I’m sure that he will in This summer’s Eclipse film. However, this was a few months ago…Before New Moon was even out at the theaters! TL did not have a very big part in the 1st Twilight film So Why would they vote for him?? He didnt bulk up until later for the role! Sam gave a good solid performance as shapeshifting bartender Sam Merlotte! Why did they even consider adding him to this if they knew that Taylaut would get it??
