It was the most nominated film in the 2010 Golden Raspberry Awards competition, but the results are in and “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is far from the worst. It was beat out in nearly every category for which it was nominated, leaving the stars and the film itself (mostly) unscathed. The only “win” went to Jackson Rathbone, who got Worst Supporting Actor for his work in both “Eclipse” and “The Last Airbender”.
Of the ten categories in which Razzies were awarded this year, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” was nominated in eight. From Worst Picture, to Worst Actress (Kristen Stewart), to Worst Supporting Actor (Jackson Rathbone), to Worst Ensemble Cast, To Worst Screenplay (Melissa Rosenberg), to Worst Director (David Slade), to Worst Prequel/Rip-off/Sequel, “Eclipse” was in the race. It even saw itself nominated twice in the same category: Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson both got nods for Worst Actor.

Razzie Nominations: The Last Airbender and Twilight: Eclipse Lead With 9 Nominations
Here is what Moviefone has to say about the Razzi Nominations this year.
I’m cynical and sarcastic enough to get behind a tongue-in-cheek “worst of the year” awards presentation, but there’s never much amusement to be found in the annualRazzie nominations. Their picks seem to be either A) high-profile “fish in a barrel” nominees, or B) a bunch of movies / movie stars that are bad, sure, but are mainly popular enough to generate some fan-based outrage — and therefore more attention for the Razzies as a whole.
For example, as goofy as the ‘Twilight’ films are, they’re nowhere near as wretched as, say, ‘Jonah Hex,’ but “Twilight Razzie” will get 10 times the traffic as “Jonah Hex Razzie.” Then they nominate the same flicks 11 times. And yet here we are, sharing their goofy nominations with you anyway. (My own commentary, as a massive expert on terrible films, will follow in italics)
Worst Picture
‘The Bounty Hunter‘
‘The Last Airbender‘
‘Sex and the City 2‘
‘Twilight Saga: Eclipse‘
