LOS ANGELES -- The fan votes -- not just the odds -- were in "The Hunger Games" favor at the MTV Movie Awards.

The dystopian survival saga escaped from Sunday's 21st annual extravaganza with the most golden popcorn-shaped trophies. "Hunger Games" won the best fight, on-screen transformation and male and female performances for stars Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson.

The film didn't totally decimate the competition. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2" won the prizes for best cast and best hero. "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" won for movie of the year and best kiss.

The fan-favorite ceremony was hosted by actor-comedian Russell Brand.

Other winners Sunday included Shailene Woodley for breakthrough performance for "The Descendants" and Jennifer Aniston as best on-screen dirtbag for "Horrible Bosses."
