Before I begin discussing the results of Entertainment Weekly’s Sexy Beast bracket game, which chose the No. 1 hottest sci-fi/supernatural creature of all time via Internet voting, I just want to warn Team Edward members that you might want to click through to another post. You’re not going to be happy with these results.
After one month, 64 beasts and more than 1.5 million votes, the final matchup was between two very worthy contenders: Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) of "The Twilight Saga" (swoon) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) of "The Vampire Diaries" (double swoon). It’s kind of fitting that two vampires would be left standing, since this has kinda been their year (or two or three) and everything.
But still, such a dilemma. Whom to choose? Sparkly Edward or broody Damon? Well, remember: This is not an unbiased report, people.
I voted for Damon. Twice.
The hilarious, sarcastic vamp with ripped abs versus the obsessive, possessive vamp with a chiseled jaw? Come on, the choice is obvious. Damon has more wisdom, more muscle and way better one-liners. And it seems the voters agreed with me, as Damon defeated Edward.
But don’t get too disappointed, Edward-ians—at one point, the two hotties were separated by fewer than 200 votes (although the final margin was a decidedly larger 3,902 votes). Plus, I think we can all agree that both vamps are very easy on the eyes.
Did you vote in EW’s bracket? Which vampire did you pick? Are you happy with the results?
