NEW MOON SNAGS FOUR “RAZZIE” AWARD NOMINATIONS

from examiner.com:

All the money at the worldwide box office and the adoration of nearly every female with the ability to read were still not enough to prevent the phenomenon known as the Twilight series from receiving Golden Raspberry, or Razzie, nominations.

The Razzies are the only movie awards organization designed to celebrate – or is that denigrate? – the worst films of the year.

Twilight: New Moon received abominations – sorry – nominations for Worst Supporting Actor (Robert Pattinson) Worst Couple (Kristen Stewart plus Pattinson or Taylor Lautner) Worst Screenplay, and Worst Remake, Ripoff, or Sequel.

Thank God for the DVR!  I’ll be sure to set mine to record Robert on “The View” and then I can fast forward to his appearance and ignore the rest.

The videos that Zap2It compiled really show how he’s grown up.  I still have trouble ogling him like many women do, though…see jailbait reference above!

Something tells me that the folks at Summit don’t really care all that much about the Razzie awards.  They’re too busy going “cha-ching! cha-ching!” while counting the piles of cash that fill their coffers from the film.

It’s nice to hear something about Michael Welch in the news – he tends to get overlooked by a lot of the media.  Poor Newton…
