The final “Twilight” film has swept the board at Hollywood's Razzie awards, which highlight the year's worst films.
“Twilight
Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2” was given seven Golden Raspberry titles
including worst picture and worst actress for Kristen Stewart.
Stewart, who is presenting an award at the Oscars on Sunday, was not present at the spoof award ceremony.
Instead, a cardboard cutout of the actress was brought in to the press conference to “accept” her trophy.
The five “Twilight” films have made a total of $3bn (£1.9bn) at the box office.
Razzies founder John Wilson said the worst thing about the franchise was that “people take it so seriously”.
“I
believe that rather than 40 million girls who bought tickets, it was
four million girls who bought 10 tickets each,” he added. “That makes me
feel better about the American public.”
The film also “won” the
worst director prize for Bill Condon, worst supporting actor for Taylor
Lautner, worst re-make, rip-off or sequel, worst screen ensemble and
worst screen couple for Lautner and Mackenzie Foy.
Stewart owes her worst actress prize to her performances in two films -- “Twilight” and “Snow White and the Huntsman”.
The
Razzies are described by the organisers as “saluting the worst that
Hollywood has to offer each year”. The prize for each category is a
gold-coloured raspberry trophy.
Winners rarely turn up to claim their prizes at the Los Angeles ceremony, and Stewart was no exception.
Pop
star Rihanna was named worst supporting actress for her debut film role
in “Battleship”, based on the board game of the same name.
The
singer has just 68 lines of dialogue in the action movie, including
lines such as “Kentucky fried chicken!”, “Boom”, “Yeah” and “Sucker's
really jumping around”.
John Wilson described Rihanna as “Rambert -- a female Rambo”.
“She's
following in the footsteps of Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez and Madonna
-- singers who really can't act but get paid millions of dollars
anyway.”
Razzies veteran Adam Sandler was named worst actor for his role in “That's My Boy”. The film also won worst script.
Last year, the event was moved from its traditional Oscars-eve slot to April Fools' Day.
But
voters of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation said they preferred
handing their prizes out the night before the Oscars, so the event was
shifted back to that slot for 2013.
