Talkback: Should 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part II' Sweep The Razzies?

Talkback: Should 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part II' Sweep The Razzies?

As terribly easy as it is to hate on the Twilight films, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part II was the best of the series. (Not that it was without its share of WTFery — imprinting and vampire fistfights and every second of Michael Sheen onscreen, anyone?)

Seriously: Razzies Move to April Fools' Day

And nominations will be announced on Feb. 25, the day before the Oscars. I'll let Dan Kois, the foremost Golden Raspberry Award expert in the business, explain the significance: "At long last, after 32 years, the Razzies will take place on the day they always should have: April 1, 35 days after the Oscars and 92 days after the last movie eligible for a Razzie was released. CHECK AND MATE, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences!" Orrr not. Anyway, this happened. [Grantland]
