'Vampire Diaries' Star Nina Dobrev is Happy for 'Twilight' After MTV Movie Awards

Before "Twilight," vampires were still the kind of creatures that we saw in shows like "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" or in movies like "Bram Stoker's Dracula." Now, they're the go-to monster for supernatural romance. "Twilight" has done it, "True Blood" has done it, and "The Vampire Diaries" has done it (and thrown in witches to boot).

"Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev is well aware of the fact that her show owes much of its popularity to the "Twilight" phenomenon. "I'm very happy that they exist because we exist because of them. Their success is our success," Dobrev told MTV after the "MTV Movie Awards" the other night.

"Twilight" swept their categories at the awards show, even winning in categories like Best Fight. It was sort of like watching an NFL team play a high school squad. But "Twilight" will only have one more year (maybe two) to beat everyone at the MTV Movie Awards, as the end of the saga is coming up.

Dobrev expressed her feelings about the end of the "Twilight" saga as well: "I'm kind of sad the movies are almost over," said Dobrev.

You have to wonder what will happen to "The Vampire Diaries" once "Twilight" is gone. Will fans continue to watch, or will the vampire fad finally pass? And if it does, what's next?
