Twilight leads Razzie nominations

THE Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 leads the Razzie Awards 2013 with a nomination in every category. The conclusion to the teen vampire thriller has earned 11 nods in 10 categories at the 33rd annual Golden Raspberry Awards, which celebrate the worst films Hollywood has produced. Despite making $814 million at the box office, the film picked up nominations for Worst Picture and Worst Sequel, as well as Worst Actor and Actress for lead stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart respectively. Bill Condon gets a nomination for directing the film, while Taylor Lautner and Ashley Green are nominated for Worst Supporting Actor and Actress. Elsewhere, Rihanna’s acting debut in ‘Battleship’ earned her a nomination as Worst Supporting Actress, while the film can also count a nod for Worst Picture among its seven overall nominations. Adam Sandler’s latest comedy, ‘That’s My Boy’, picked up eight nods. The actor is something of a Razzies regular after winning both Worst Actor and Worst Actress last year for his dual roles as twin brother and sister in ‘Jack and Jill’, which took home ten awards in total. The Razzies will be handed out February 23, the day before the Oscars take place.   –ES
