Twilight finale leads Razzie nominations for Hollywood's worst movie of 2012

The Twilight finale had better reviews than the franchise’s previous four movies, but you’d never know it from the Razzie nominations that single out Hollywood’s worst of the year.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 leads the Razzies line-up with 11 nominations, including worst picture, lead-acting slots for Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, and supporting-acting nominations for Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene.

Other worst-picture nominees are the naval action tale Battleship, the family flick The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure, Adam Sandler’s raunchy dud That’s My Boy and Eddie Murphy’s comedy flop A Thousand Words.

A spoof of the Academy Awards, the winners of the Razzies will be announced on February 23, the night before the Oscar show.

The final instalment in the supernatural romance involving vampires, werewolves and a moody schoolgirl, Breaking Dawn – Part 2 also had nominations for worst director for Bill Condon, plus worst sequel, screenplay and screen ensemble. It picked up two nominations for worst screen couple – for Stewart and Pattinson and for Lautner and child co-star Mackenzie Foy.

Stewart’s worst-actress nomination came for two performances last year, her Bella Swan of Twilight and the title role in Snow White and the Huntsman.

Earlier Twilight movies have been regular nominees for the Razzies but have not come away with any key worst-of awards. But the finale seems to be the one Razzies voters have been waiting for, the way Oscar voters were waiting for the last Lord of the Rings film, the one that finally won the big prize.
