The final installment of the Twilight saga has been nominated for 11 Golden Raspberry Awards, or 'Razzies'--the most nominations of any film this year, says the Huffington Post.
The Razzies recognize Hollywood's worst efforts over the past year, and are awarded the night before the Oscars. Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 has been nominated for Worst Picture, Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel, and Worst Screenplay.

Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattinson have been nominated for Worst Actress and Worst Actor, and collectively as Worst Screen Couple. (Kristin Stewart is also up for Worst Acress for her role in Snow White and the Huntsman.)
Their Twilight co-stars have not fared any better; Ashley Greene and Taylor Lautner are in the running for Worst Supporting Actress and Actor, and to top it all off, director Bill Condon has been nominated for Worst Director.
Other nominees for Worst Picture include Battleship, The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure, That's My Boy, and A Thousand Words. On the Worst Actress front, Stewart is joined by Katherine Heigl, Milla Jovovich, Tyler Perry (for Madea's Witness Protection) and even Barbra Streisand for The Guilt Trip.
Most actors and directors do not accept Razzie awards in person, with a few exceptions. According to the BBC's Helen Bushby, Halle Berry accepted her Razzie for her 2005 movie Catwoman in person. She thanked the makers of Catwoman for "putting me in the God-awful movie" and said "It was just what my career needed - I was at the top and now I'm at the bottom."
And in 2009, Sandra Bullock showed up to accept her Razzie for Worst Actress for All About Steve. She made a joke of it by buying All About Steve DVDs for everyone in the audience, says EW, and said, "You promise to watch the movie and really consider whether it was really the truly the worst performance. If you are willing to watch it, I will come back next year and give back the Razzie." (Entertainment Weekly has a funny video of her acceptance speech).
The jury is still out on whether anyone from Twilight will attend the Razzies in person.
