Twilight's big presence at the latest award shows are finally dwindling. There was a small representation with Ashley Greene (who plays character, Alice Cullen in Twilght) as a presenter, but no Rob Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart.  The top three main actors from Twilight were a no-show, all appear to be working on other projects and not able to appear. Either viewers were happy to finally get a break from Twilight hysteria or are getting Twilight withdrawals from their absence in all mainstream media.

Other representation that were related to Twilight were the soundtrack artists with their own music and videos.  Florence + The Machine from Twilight Eclipse soundtrack with song "Heavy in Your Arms" performed "Dog Days are Over" and took home award for "Best Art Direction".  Dog Days are Over" is played in trailer of recent movie with Julia Roberts 'Eat, Pray, and Love.  Linkin park with their song "Leave out all the rest" performed song "The Catalyst".

Muse, who has had a song on the past three Twilight soundtracks won Best Special Effects for "Uprising".  The Black Keys with 'Chop and Change' won for Best Breakthrough Video for their song "Tighten Up".

Their first real claim to fame came in 2001 when their sound and song was featured on a commercial for tv advertising Polaroid's I-Zone Pocket Fortune film.  They used their song "Grow Up and Blow Away" with the line "Why does it feel so good to die today?" changed to "Why does it feel so good to fly away?".  The commercial created interested listeners and sent them to the Poloroid's websites wondering who was the artists responsible.

February 28, 2010 they released their song "Black Sheep"  and it is on the soundtrack from the movie, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. 

June 8, 2010 Metric released the song and title track from the Twilight Eclipse movie, called Eclipse(All Yours) on the Twilight Eclipse soundtrack.
