‘New Moon’ director Chris Weitz won ‘Best Director’ for his work on ‘A Better Life’ at the Hamilton Awards! Congrats Chris!
“Twilight” star Robert Pattinson also poked fun at himself, though with a, well, different approach than the filmmakers who had been reviewing their speeches backstage an hour or so before. The actor presented Chris Weitz with an award for directing “A Better Life.”
Following Mustafa’s introduction of Pattinson (in which he claimed the room’s occupants would be screaming were it filled with teenage girls instead of industry VIPs), Pattinson said, “I’d prefer to have the room be full of screaming girls -– then no one could hear how bad I am at speeches.”
Pattinson, whom Weitz directed in “Twilight: New Moon,” began to launch into an explanation of what an artist Weitz is, then cut himself short, saying, “I feel ridiculous. The last time I talked with Chris I was like, ‘Want to go to Coachella and do some mushrooms?’”
Weitz’s first words upon walking up to the microphone onstage were an emphatic “Mushroom soup.”
