Pattinson and pals helped bring in 76% more viewers to MTV than last year

Robert Pattinson, his on-screen romantic lead Kristen Stewart, and hunky werewolf Taylor Lautner helped introduce the debut of the New Moon teaser trailer during the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, which scored a whopping 76 percent more viewers than last year.

Its average audience of 5.3 million was the show's biggest since 2004.

This is the second awards show this year in which a little bit of Pattinson has helped produce a whole lot of ratings. February's Oscars, featuring Pattinson on presenting duty, saw its numbers zoom among teens and kids.
