Robert Pattinson's Best Fight Joke: 'Eclipse' Co-Stars Didn't Get It

It was something of a surprise for everyone in the "Twilight" cast when the epic fight scene at the end of "Eclipse" beat out "Inception," "The Fighter," "Kick-Ass" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" for the Best Fight Golden Popcorn. But what had co-starsBryce Dallas Howard and Xavier Samuel scratching their heads even more was the jokeRobert Pattinson made at the end of his acceptance speech.

The joke came after Bryce apologized to Rob for trying to kill him in the movie. "It's fine," he responded. "I ripped your head off, and now you're pregnant." Cut to Kristen Stewartmouthing, "What?" and ducking her head in embarrassment.

"That was a really advanced joke," Bryce said. "I didn't get it."

"I'm not sure what..." Xavier started before trailing off in confusion. "I guess in 'Breaking Dawn' Bella's pregnant, so I guess that's the joke?"

But the duo definitely did know why they won the award even if they didn't necessarily think they had the best movie fight. Bryce explained it best by saying, "Two words: Robert Pattinson. That's why."

Though Xavier took the reigns at the beginning of the acceptance speech to thank all the people who needed to be thanked (like director David Slade and producer Wyck Godfrey), Bryce said she felt a lot less nervous about receiving the award onstage once RPattz stepped up to the mic.

"It was a little overwhelming," she said. "Obviously with Rob at the mic we were good to go. And this cutie pie too," she added, pointing to Xavier.
