Twilight' finale prospects Razzies worst-of checklist

The "Twilight" finale had greater testimonials than the franchise's former 4 motion pictures, but you'd by no means know it in the Razzie nominations singling out Hollywood's worst with the year. "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn ?a Element 2" led the Razzies lineup late Tuesday with 11 nominations, which include worst image, lead-acting slots for Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, and supporting-acting nominations for Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene.

Other worst-picture nominees will be the naval action tale "Battleship," the loved ones flick "The Oogieloves inside the Significant Balloon Adventure," Adam Sandler's raunchy dud "That's My Boy" and Eddie Murphy's comedy flop "A Thousand Words."

A spoof of your Academy Awards, the Razzies announcement came somewhat greater than daily well before Thursday's Oscar nominations. Winners to the 33rd yearly Razzies are going to be announced Feb. 23, the evening ahead of the Oscar display.

The last installment from the supernatural romance involving vampires, werewolves plus a moody schoolgirl, "Breaking Dawn ?a Element 2" also had nominations for worst director for Bill Condon, plus worst sequel, screenplay and display ensemble. It picked up two nominations for worst display couple ?a for Stewart and Pattinson and for Lautner and kid co-star Mackenzie Foy.

Stewart's worst-actress nomination came for two performances in 2012, her Bella Swan of "Twilight" as well as the title part in "Snow White as well as the Huntsman."

Earlier "Twilight" videos are actually common nominees for that Razzies but haven't come away with any essential worst-of awards. However the finale appears to be the 1 Razzies voters are already waiting for, the way in which Oscar voters have been waiting for that final "Lord from the Rings" film, the 1 that lastly won the major prize.

"That's the analogy we're generating, that this is actually the Razzies' flipside," explained Razzies founder John Wilson. "This is our equivalent to 'The Lord on the Rings.' It can be our members' final probability to razz 'Twilight.'"

Here's how Razzies organizers describe the "Twilight" finale from the nominations announcement: "The ultimate installment on the inexplicably profitable series focuses on Shirtless Werewolf Jacob and his creepy partnership together with the daughter of Sparkly Vampire Edward and Gloomy Goth Gal Bella. Collectively, the 4 encounter a last showdown that should establish the fate of Romantic-But-Boring Monsters all over the place."

Sandler ?a whose "Jack and Jill" created Razzies historical past final season by winning a record ten awards, sweeping each category ?a stays a Razzies favourite this time. "That's My Boy" ran 2nd with eight Razzie nominations, amid them worst actor for Sandler and supporting actor for each Nick Swardson and Vanilla Ice.

Tyler Perry was nominated for the two worst actor ("Alex Cross" and "Good Deeds") and actress ("Madea's Witness Safety," by which he reprised his cross-dressing title character). Coupled with Sandler, Pattinson and Perry, worst-actor contenders are Nicolas Cage for "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" and "Seeking Justice"; and Murphy for "A Thousand Words."

Joining Stewart and Perry within the worst-actress lineup are Katherine Heigl for "One for that Money"; Milla Jovovich for "Resident Evil: Retribution"; and Barbra Streisand for "The Guilt Excursion."
