Are you also going to post a full video? Maybe not the entire night, but enough for us to see the presenters joking and opening the envelopes and stuff.

I think for the first time I have to express real disappointment in the members' choices. This appears to me to be of a vendetta than a real expression of voting for the most deserving choices.

The guy who wrote that article is one of many people who don't understand that nominating a good movie for one or two acting Razzies is actually OK. And based on a couple of his picks, he doesn't know how to tell a movie that was campy on purpose. Plus, it seems that he didn't do much research, or he'd know that in the very first ceremony there were very few voters. Speaking of that ceremony, I recently saw THE SHINING, and I completely agree with Shelley Duvall's Worst Actress nomination.
Should've been Razzed- Kate Hudson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Sean Penn, Gerard Butler, Chelsea Handler, Maggie Grace, Sherri Shepard, Chris Klein, Robert DeNiro, Tim Burton, The Devil Inside
It seems that Broken City, despite having Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe, received worse reviews (here's RT and here's Metacritic) than The Last Stand (here's RT and here's Metacritic). Even at that, Broken City still isn't bad enough for us.
It looks like it was just one of those rare weekends where nothing esepcially choked - box office receipts notwithstanding.
Only the fans enjoy the Twilight movies. Critics and people will general good taste do not. And 3 Billion? Try again!

As someone who's proud to be a "Twi-Hard," I gotta say, Black Rose is full of sh*t! Seems like every year you Razzie people, who don't really know what the f**k you're talking about, come back once again to pick on my favorite film series -- one that has delighted fans all over the world, and generated a grand total of more than $3 BILLION in ticket sales!
If the Twilight movies suck so bad, how come so many movie-goers love them??
RESPONSE from Head RAZZBerry: Actually (and surprisingly) KrisStewart wasn't exaggerating -- Here's a B.O. MoJo LINK to check out the "franchise page" for the TWILIGHT series. If you scroll nearly all the way down, you'll come to a section marked "Worldwide (Unadjusted)" and see that the international total gross for all five films comes to: $3,336,400,000(!).
HeadRAZZ: Didnt Neeson also appear on the ballot for Clash of the Titans?
RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: I assumed you were asking if he'd ever been on our FINAL Ballot. But the answer to your query is...YES, Neeson was listed for CLASH OF THE TITANS as a possible Worst Supporting Actor choice on our 31st Annual RAZZIES® Nominating Ballot...
I am curious -- How many times has Liam Neeson made the Razzie ballot?
RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Despite his having appeared in STAR WARS: EPISODE ONE -- THE PHANTOM MENACE and THE HAUNTING (both of which were Worst Picture nominees) Neeson's current dual Worst Supporting Actor nod for BATTLESHIP and WRATH OF THE TITANS is his berry first RAZZIE nomination. He was also listed for Worst Actor on our 2012 Nominating Ballot for TAKEN, TOO, but did not make the final five...
Not having Kate Hudson in the Worst Actress category is beyond inexcusable!
Even moreso than Affleck/Bigelow not being nominated for Best Director -- No wonder a lot of the Razzie articles that I have seen think your awards have become an irrelevant joke!
RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Your lobbying on behalf of Hudson did have a positive effect -- But in the end, since almost no one actually saw A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN, she wound up out of the top five in nominations voting for Worst Actress. As we do not have write-ins on our Final Ballot, however much it may displease you, at this point you kinda gotta accept the results...

Several worthy candidates have been overlooked. However the nominees this year deserve condemnation. Thank the movie industry for us being spoiled for choice.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn- Part II is worthy of winning for Worst Picture. The same can also be said of That's My Boy.
Worst Actor: Robert Pattinson is his usual wooden self in Breaking Dawn- Part II making himself worthy of condemnation. Adam Sandler also deserves condemnation for That's My Boy.
Worst Actress: Kristen Stewart (Breaking Dawn- Part II) and Katherine Heigl (One For the Money) should be the front-runners.
Worst Supporting Actor: Taylor Lautner's "acting" in Breaking Dawn- Part II is most worthy of the award.
Worst Supporting Actress: It's a tough call for this category.
Worst Prequel, Remake, Ripoff or Sequel: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn- Part II deserves to win.
Worst Director: Sean Anders for That's My Boy. His directing "effort" contributed to the movie's dreadfulness.
Worst Screenplay: David Caspe for That's My Boy. This "comedy" is poorly written to the point the movie's 'gags' are capable of inducing puke.
Worst Screen Couple: Mackenzie Foy and Taylor Lautner for Breaking Dawn- Part II. This pairing is creepy. A little girl is "soulmates" with an adult.
Worst Screen Ensemble: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn- Part II and That's My Boy. Both casts contributed greatly to the awfulness of their respective movies.
Directed by Michael Bay and M. Night Shyamalan comes a movie guaranteed to win Razzies.
Not to mention an Eddie Murphy movie that was so bad that 1000 words proved to be 1001 too many. Even Battleshi* has to get serious consideration....Frankly, I think a lot of far more deserving films were passed by in the spirit of getting a series of films that needs to be allowed to slip into the obscurity for which they are destined as soon as possible.

I'm sorry, but beefcake werewolves and sparkling vampires suck. And then there's those awful werewolf transformations. Ugh. . . .
Now, whether the Razzies do to Twilight what the Oscars did to Lord of the Rings - dump all the awards on the last movie - remains to be seen. We do have an Adam Sandler movie that's worse than Jack & Jill, after all, as mind-boggling as that may be.
