Hollywood gets nasty as Razzies announced
VAMPIRES, werewolves and airbenders lead the pack at the Razzies, an Academy Awards spoof that hands out prizes for the year's worst films.
The blockbuster supernatural tale "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" and the action fantasy "The Last Airbender" tied for the most nominations yesterday with nine each, including worst picture.
Also nominated for worst picture are Jennifer Aniston's action comedy "The Bounty Hunter," Sarah Jessica Parker's romantic romp "Sex and the City 2" and the "Twilight" parody "Vampires Suck."
"Twilight" star Kristen Stewart had a worst-actress nomination for her role as a teen caught in a love triangle involving her vampire -boyfriend (Robert Pattinson) and werewolf pal (Taylor Lautner). Pattinson and Lautner both received nominations for worst actor.
Razzies founder John Wilson said that though "Vampires Suck" was a "Twilight" spoof, "Eclipse" actually was funnier to watch.
"I know people who are into 'Twilight' who take it totally seriously and they're very vociferous," Wilson said. "Those of us who are not 'Twi-hards,' we don't get it. I don't know any teenage girls who have had to choose between a werewolf and a vampire."
"The Last Airbender" was adapted from the animated TV series about a young hero with the power to reunite feuding nations of people who can control air, water, fire and earth. "Last Airbender" -filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan received Razzie nominations for worst director and screenplay.
"All of this gobbledygook language about airbenders and fire benders and water benders," Wilson said. "You feel like you're on a bender watching the movie. It's completely illogical."
The Razzies lineup was announced a day before Oscar nominations come out. Razzie winners, chosen by the group's roughly 600 voters, will be announced on February 26, the night before the Oscars.
Three Oscar-winning divas are among nominees for worst supporting actress - Cher for the song-and-dance tale "Burlesque," Liza Minnelli for "Sex and the City 2" and Barbra Streisand for the comedy sequel "Little Fockers."
The entire casts of "Eclipse" and "Last Airbender" were among nominees for worst screen couple or ensemble.
