As regular readers of my blogs know by now, The Hook is not a big fan of modern-day vampires. I don’t mind a good tale of a bloodthirsty monster facing off against a heroic protagonist, but these whiny, emotional douchebags they pass off for vampires these days can really piss me off at times.
Of course, the wife can’t get enough of them.
So when the Razzie nominees were announced this week, I had to write a post spotlighting the lead contender in the Anti-Oscars’ nominations list.
Here is a partial list, focussing primarily on the fanged nominees for space considerations..and just because I want to. 
Worst Picture:
The Last Airbender
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Vampires Suck
Worst Actor:
Taylor Lautner – The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and Valentine’s Day
Robert Pattinson – Remember Me and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

It should be noted that Avatar: The Last Airbender tied Twilight for number of noms, but I don’t have anything against that franchise .
After 30 years of taking shots at the worst Hollywood has to offer, the Razzie Awards may be televised on the eve of this years Oscar telecast February 26, though I doubt any vamps will show up.

Truly, nobody deserves these awards more. Good luck to all of those nominated.
K-Stewart DEFINITELY needs to get the Razzie for worst female actress! It’s like someone gave her dramamine to calm her down, and then a sleeping aid, and THEN really pale makeup. I just want to give her a hug, or a cheeseburger…or some espresso.
Second post I’ve read here…I’m really liking your style!
Since this franchise is buoyed by tween ticket buyers, therefore critic-proof, Razzies might even improve box office. There’s no such thing as bad publicity.
I agree melsar93! Good luck to Twilight!
