Amidst the silly awards season, I’ve always enjoyed a breath of fresh, hate-filled air with the Razzies Nominations. “Honoring” the worst of the year, the organization usually picks out a number of the truly worst offerings, some films I forget even existed and then a few question marks. This year is no different, as The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 came away the big winner, nominated eleven times in ten categories, while That’s My Boy comes in a close second (a film, despite hating all of Adam Sandler‘s recent offerings, I will never understand the abhorrence for), and then some films I barely remembered got released in the last twelve months (Ghost Rider 2: Spirit of Vengeance, A Thousand Words, One for the Money). They are missing some major duds such as Wrath of the Titans and Lay the Favorite, but we’ll give them benefit of the doubt. Check out the rundown below, along with their announcement video (which should be nominated for a Razzie award itself next year).
