| Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 |
Not to be missed among this award season is the annual event
that precedes the Oscar nominations, The Golden Raspberry Awards aka The
Razzies. Honouring the “berry worst” since 1980, The Razzies are annual
gong to Hollywood’s finest as they are in the midst of handing out awards to
themselves. It was an especially good year for berry picking, as the Academy
noted that there were plenty of clunkers in 2012, including “movies based on
recycled premises, re-working concepts that were already tired a decade or more
ago, and which were the cinematic equivalent of re-treaded tires. Those are the
films The Golden Raspberry Awards have been annually dis-honoring since 1980.” Adam
Sandler, the Meryl Streep of the Razzies, is back after his unprecedented
10-category sweep last year for Jack
& Jill. The perennial nominee is in the running for That’s My Boy! However, Sandler might
not wear the dunce cap this year, since everyone’s least favourite series, Twilight, scored a whopping 11
nominations across 10 categories. It’s a franchise record. Twi-hards can also
be on Team Edward and Team Jacob
since Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are not going head to head, but are
nominated as Worst Actor and Worst Supporting Actor, respectively. Kristin
Stewart vies for worst actress and she’ll compete with Katherine Heigl and
Barbra Streisand. Also among the “honourees” are Liam Neeson and singer turned “actress”
Rihanna. Lindsay Lohan was robbed!
