Well, look at it this way, Twi-hards: It's not like a "Twilight" movie will ever feel the wrath of the Razzies ever again.
It wouldn't be Awards Season without everyone's favorite anti-awards organization, the Golden Raspberries, and this year they've somewhat predictably (and rather unfairly) targeted "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" for every single possible category.
Some film critics in the Twitter-verse have already come to the defense of the film, which is considered by many to be the best (relatively, anyway) installment in the series. It is a bit of a lazy (and unfair) stunt to pull; at this point, it's become somewhat tiresome to trash on "Twilight," especially after it's made its final bow.
There are other rather dubious nominations this year. A Worst Actress nom for Milla Jovovich? Sure, she's not going to win any "normal" awards for her performance, but she's the only reason we even still watch the damn "Resident Evil" movies. Also, David Hasselhoff's turn as a funhouse-mirror version of himself in "Piranha 3-DD" took meta-performance to a whole new level with its rather gonzo mix of macho arrogance and extreme self-loathing -- certainly not Worst Supporting Actor material, by any stretch.
Wretched trash like "That's My Boy," which earned seven nominations, deserves every bit of lashing the world can muster. But why hate on harmless dum-dum summer fare like "Battleship," which earned six nominations (including a completely ridiculous Worst Supporting Actor nod for Liam Neeson), and poor Tyler Perry, who earned nominations for his work in no less than three projects ("Good Deeds," "Madea's Witness Protection" and "Alex Cross")? The Razzies are coming across not so much as mean-spirited but simply nonsensical.
And really, a Worst Actress nomination for Barbra Streisand in "The Guilt Trip"? Sigh.
