Razzie nominations feature Twilight in every category

Forget all that BAFTA news, the only list of nominations you should be interested in today is the line-up for the 2013 Golden Raspberry Awards, the annual ‘celebration’ of all that is tawdry in Hollywood. The big story is that nobody’s managed to match Adam Sandler’s extraordinary record of eleven personal nominations, which he set last year – not even him. Sandler only picked up two nominations this year (both for paedophile comedy That’s My Boy), but since it was made by his horrible little company Happy Madison we’re going to put all eight of the film’s nominations on his slate. Suck on that, Sandler!

The biggest Razzie hitter this year is the final Twilight film Breaking Dawn – Part 2, which managed to pick up a nomination in all ten categories (and two in the Worst Screen Couple section). That’s going some, Bill Condon. Battleship scored a very respectable seven nominations, with Tyler Perry’s latest nonsense Madea’s Witness Protection picking up five – Tyler himself was nominated for Worst Director twice, Worst Actor twice and Worst Actress once, as well as picking up a Worst Screen Couple nomination for the relationship between two of his own characters. Impressive!

Baffling shitefest The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure got a frankly conservative two Razzie nominations (Worst Picture and Worst Cast), considering that it also had the worst opening weekend of all time. It’s also pleasing to see our least favourite actresses Katherine Heigl, Milla Jovovich, Kristen Stewart, Jessica Biel and Rihanna pick up a total of seven Worst Actress/Worst Supporting Actress nominations between them – maybe 2013 will be the year that they finally think about that suicide pact we keep suggesting. Nicolas Cage and Liam Neeson have two nominations each (Worst Actor x2 for Cage, Worst Supporting Actor x2 for Neeson), but we’re not going to make any jokes about them because we’ve literally run out.

Right, enough of this gay banter. Here are the full nominations – brace yourselves…
