Each year, on the eve of the Oscars, the Golden Raspberry Award, or Razzie for short, is presented in recognition of the worst in film. This year, two films dominate the Razzie Awards with nine nominations each, Twilight Saga: Eclipse and The Last Airbender, reports the Hollywood Reporter.
Both movies will battle Sex and the City 2, The Bounty Hunter and Vampires Suck for the title of worst movie of the year.
The three main actors in the Twilight franchise, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart are nominated in the categories of worst actor and worst actress. The film is also nominated for worst ensemble cast, director and screenplay.
This year, a new category has been unveiled: Worst Eye-Gouging Mis-Use of 3-D. Nominees include The Last Airbender, Cats and Dogs 2: Revenge of Kitty Galore, Clash of the Titans, Nutcracker 3-D and Saw 3-D (Saw VII).
The Razzies will be held Saturday, February 26 at Barnsdall Gallery Theatre. Last year, Sandra Bullock accepted her Razzie for worst actress in All About Steve and the next day went on to win Best Actress Oscar for The Blind Side.
