Not every motion picture churned out by the Hollywood machine is a hit. The Razzies Worst-Of list gathers all of the year’s worst offerings and gives those responsible awards they probably wish they hadn’t received.
At the top of this year’s list of nominees is the sensitive vampire flick The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 . According to The Associated Press , the final installment in the popular franchise racked up an impressive 11 nominations, including Worst Picture and worst lead actors.
The Razzies website described the Twilight finale as follows:
“The ultimate installment of the inexplicably successful series focuses on Shirtless Werewolf Jacob and his creepy relationship with the daughter of Sparkly Vampire Edward and Gloomy Goth Gal Bella. Together, the four face a final showdown that will determine the fate of Romantic-But-Boring Monsters everywhere.”
NPR reports that Adam Sandler has once again found himself being nominated for an “honor” on this year’s Razzies Worst-Of list. The comedian’s latest box office flop That’s My Boy joins Twilight , Battleship , A Thousand Words , and The Oogieloves in The Big Balloon Adventure in the Worst Picture category.
Sandler was quite popular with the Razzies gang last year as well. The former Saturday Night Live cast member’s Jack & Jill was hit with a slew of awards, including dual Worst Actor and Worst Actress nominations for its star.
Nicolas Cage earned two Worst Actor nominations for his work in both Seeking Justice and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance . Tyler Perry also scored two nods for starring in both Alex Cross and Tyler Perry’s Good Deeds .
On the Worst Actress front, Kristen Stewart received a pair of nominations for both Twilight and Snow White and the Huntsman . Tyler Perry was also included in the list for his turn in Madea’s Witless Protection .
