'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part II' Completely Sweeps The Razzies
by Shannon Keirnan
Proof that not everyone is a Twihard.
At Saturday’s Razzie Awards, which honor the worst of the worst in the film industry, the final installment in the “Twilight” saga, “Breaking Dawn: Part 2,” made an impressive sweep, raking in seven of the ten award options.
These included Worst Picture, Worst Actress (Kristen Stewart, who also won for “Snow White and the Huntsman), Worst Supporting Sctor (Taylor Lautner), Worst Screen Ensemble, Worst Director (Bill Condon), Worst Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel, and Worst Screen Couple (Mackenzie Foy and Taylor Lautner).
Razzies founder John Wilson had plenty to say on the topic of “Twilight.”
"I have a pet theory, which is that the box office on ‘Twilight’ films is very impressive, but my theory is that instead of 40 million individual girls going to see it, it's 8 million girls going to see it five times each. People who love those movies just adore them," he said in a statement.
Wilson added, "Acting should involve having an expression on your face, and she is blank, other than the morose kind of half-Goth thing her character does. Kristen Stewart is so expressionless she might as well be a brick wall."
Yikes. Harsh words to the most highly-paid actress in Hollywood.
Here’s the full list of winners… although they seem pretty straight-forward. Do you agree with Wilson?
