We've had a preview of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart getting sexy as Edward and Bella on their honeymoon in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1," and now Cullen patriarch Peter Facinelli has some more secrets from the movie's set. When MTV News caught up with Facinelli on the Golden Globes red carpet on Sunday (January 16), he revealed what Stewart's Bella is like as a vampire.

"She's doing really well. She looks fantastic," he raved about Stewart's transition to a vampire for the final films in the series. "For some reason, once they put those contact lenses in, you look very statuesque."

Facinelli wouldn't go into detail about shooting the last two films in the franchise with director Bill Condon and the rest of the "Breaking Dawn" crew, but he did admit that things have been very action-packed. "We've been shooting the last two weeks with a lot of vampires," he said. "I don't want to give away too much, but if you've read the books, it's the standoff with lots of vampires in play. There's like 70 people going through the works at once. It's a little maddening, but fun.

"We shot pretty much the ending of the two movies the other day," he added about how much time the cast has left on-set. "But we shoot until mid-April."

MTV News recently spoke to Facinelli's co-star Ashley Greene about that fight sequence against the Volturi, and she expressed her excitement about it as well. "As a cast, we like to do as many of our own stunts as possible, so it's fun and challenging to shoot those scenes," she said. "Jeff Imada, the stunt coordinator, is such a blast to work with as well. I'm learning so much from him."

Following the Golden Globes ceremony on Sunday night, the Brits wasted no time in announcing their nominees for the BAFTA Film Awards. Leading the pack of nominated films are the historical biopic "The King's Speech" and Darren Aronofsky's ballerina thriller, "Black Swan."

"The King's Speech" tops the list with 14 nods, including one for its lead actor, Colin Firth, who picked up a Golden Globe for the role of King George VI. The film is also up against "Inception," "The Social Network," "True Grit" and "Black Swan," which is the second-most nominated film at the BAFTAs. "The Social Network" took home Best Motion Picture - Drama at the Golden Globes.

Firth is up against James Franco ("127 Hours"), Javier Bardem ("Biutiful"), Jeff Bridges ("True Grit") and Jesse Eisenberg ("The Social Network") in the Leading Actor category.

Portman is up for her work in "Black Swan" in the Leading Actress category, in which she faces off against Annette Bening ("The Kids Are All Right"), Julianne Moore ("The Kids Are All Right"), Noomi Rapace ("The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo") and Hailee Steinfeld ("True Grit").

Nominated for Best Director are Danny Boyle ("127 Hours"), Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan"), Christopher Nolan ("Inception"), Tom Hooper ("The King's Speech") and David Fincher ("The Social Network").

Every year, the BAFTA hands out their Orange Wednesdays Rising Star Award to an up-and-comer voted on by the public. This year's nominees are Gemma Arterton, Andrew Garfield, Tom Hardy, Aaron Johnson and Emma Stone. At last year's show, Kristen Stewart took home the coveted award.

'Glee' Justin Bieber Episode Needs 'The Hairdo,' Darren Criss Says

On Golden Globes red carpet, actor also pleads for Gwyneth Paltrow's character to teach at his Dalton Academy.

It was a good night for "Glee" at the Golden Globes, to say the least. If Chris Colfer and Jane Lynch's wins (not to mention the show walking away with the award for Best Television Series- Comedy or Musical for the second straight year) weren't enough to satisfy fans, new addition Darren Criss had plenty of news to have them Gleeking out.

The actor — who made Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" even more popular than the original during his first season — talked about Justin Bieber and Gwyneth Paltrow with our very own Josh Horowitz.

The lively star, who donned a pair of hot-pink sunglasses, joked that he wanted to rock fellow Globes attendee and presenter Justin Bieber in his arms. In addition to finding out that the tween star was nearby, he also heard the news (thanks to co-star Amber Riley telling MTV News) that the "Glee" cast would be singing not one, but two Justin Bieber songs.

The star (who admitted he had previously heard word about the possibility of this happening) also said he wasn't sure if he would be one of the castmembers belting out the Biebs' hits. "If I do [sing them], I hope they tell me soon which one!" he said.

"It should be fun," Criss said about the upcoming covers, adding, "I just hope they do the hairdo!"

But Bieber's famed coif isn't the only thing he hopes to see in the second half of the season, which returns in February. While he and guest star Gwyneth Paltrow both starred in the episode "The Substitute," his character, Blaine, had no onscreen time with her Holly Holliday.

"I feel like I'm on my own spin-off: 'Dalton,' " Criss joked, referring to Dalton Academy, where his character attends school. "So I never get to meet or spend time with a lot of the guest stars."

While it's been reported that Paltrow's substitute teacher will return to teach sex education at McKinley High School and will start up a relationship with Matthew Morrison's Mr. Schuester, Criss had another story idea for the Oscar-winner.

"Maybe she could be a sub at Dalton! That would be awesome," he suggested before confessing, "I'm in love with Gwyneth. I would love to meet her."

Golden Globe Awards Belong To 'The Social Network' And 'Glee'

'The Kids Are All Right,' 'The Fighter,' 'Boardwalk Empire' also garner multiple awards.

When the final glasses of champagne had been drained at the 68th Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night (January 16), "The Social Network" and "Glee" sauntered away as the night's big winners. Nominated in six categories, "Social Network" won four awards, including Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Director for David Fincher, Best Screenplay for Aaron Sorkin and Original Score. And honored in five separate categories, Fox's hit musical comedy collected three trophies: Best Comedy Series, Supporting Actor (Chris Colfer) and Actress (Jane Lynch).

Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical went to "The Kids Are All Right," one of two awards the film won. In the major TV categories, freshman HBO series "Boardwalk Empire" won Best Drama, while the "Glee" win marked the show's second-straight Best Comedy award.

To begin the evening, host Ricky Gervais had a beer waiting for him on the podium and took a slug from the sudsy glass before he even opened his mouth. It was just that kind of party. "It's going to be a night of partying and heavy drinking. Or, as Charlie Sheen calls it, breakfast," he joked, setting the tone for a raunchy and fearless emcee performance from start to finish.

Long an Oscar front-runner, Natalie Portman won Best Actress - Drama for "Black Swan" and delivered one of the show's most memorable acceptance speeches. Sporting a noticeable baby bump, she addressed fiancé and co-star Benjamin Millepied, thanking him for helping her create new life and referencing his line in the movie about not wanting to have sex with her character. "It's not true," she laughed. "He totally wants to sleep with me!"

Another Oscar fave, Colin Firth was honored as best dramatic actor for "The King's Speech." Calling himself out for thus far avoiding a midlife crisis, the 50-year-old actor cradled his award and joked, "This is all that stands between me and a Harley-Davidson."

Check out photos of the Golden Globe winners.

In one of the night's few upsets, Johnny Depp lost out on the best comedic actor award for his turn in "Alice in Wonderland," as Paul Giamatti ("Barney's Version") triumphed in that category. Generally, though, the Globes affirmed more awards-season conventional wisdom than it did recalibrate sentiment surrounding next month's Oscar ceremony.

Early on, Christian Bale took home the first Globe of the night, nabbing Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for "The Fighter," a win that had been widely predicted. "You can only give a loud performance like the one I gave when you have a quiet anchor," he said, complimenting Mark Wahlberg's contribution to the film.

Widely predicted, as well, was Annette Bening's best comedic win for "The Kids Are All Right." Fighting off a shaky voice, she spoke movingly about bringing a warts-and-all portrait of a lesbian couple to the big screen. Later in the show, Melissa Leo bounded up onto the stage after nabbing best dramatic supporting actress for "The Fighter." "Look, Mom, I got a Golden Globe!" she squealed.

When it came to perhaps the show's two most anticipated presenters — Justin Bieber and Robert Pattinson — neither man was given much to do onstage. Taking a break from shooting "Breaking Dawn," RPattz uttered just a handful of words while presenting the award for Best Foreign Language Film. And if anyone was hoping to hear Bieber crack a joke or two before introducing the award for Best Animated Feature, his fans were left disappointed. Alongside "True Grit" star Hailee Steinfeld, the teen heartthrob simply introduced the nominees and announced the winner, "Toy Story 3," with a smile. Accepting the statue was director Lee Unkrich, who turned to the presenters and asked, "Were you two even born when the first 'Toy Story' came out?" (For the record, Bieber was born a year before the film's 1995 release.)

Many of the TV categories were dominated by a large slate of first-time winners and newcomers to the small screen. In addition to the "Boardwalk Empire" win, Katey Sagal ("Sons Of Anarchy") won best dramatic actress and Steve Buscemi ("Boardwalk Empire") took home best dramatic actor, while Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory") won best comedic actor and Laura Linney ("The Big C") won best comedic actress (though she was not in-house to accept, as her father, the playwright Romulus Linney, passed away over the weekend).

Robert De Niro was this year's Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award honoree. Taking the stage after a hilarious introduction from Matt Damon, De Niro delivered an amusing, self-deprecating speech, touting some of his achievements and laughing about others, like this year's "Little Fockers," that will not be as fondly remembered. Those less-lauded flicks, he joked, have been collected in a box set, which he promised to sell in the lobby after the show.
