2012 Razzie Awards Nominations Announced

Finally, here's one awards group where you won't see "The Artist" nominated : The Razzies. What you will find, however, is the most horrifying list of cinematic failures, movies which insult our intelligence and test our patience. Some of these movies made a lot of money last year, some didn't, but at the Razzies, they are all equal. This year, the nominees include such IQ-melting duds as "Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star" (6 noms), "Jack & Jill" (12 noms), "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" (6 noms),  "New Year's Eve" (5 noms) and "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I" (6 noms). 2012 is definitely a year of celebration for Adam Sandler who received no less than 11 nominations and has officialy broken Eddie Murphy's record of 5 nominations, which he had earned for "Norbit" in 2007. Here are some of the other actors celebrated by the infamous Razzie group for their 2011 body of work : Nicolas Cage, Russell Brand, Taylor Lautner, Nick Swardson, Martin Lawrence, Sarah Palin (as herself), Nicole Kidman, Sarah Jesssica Parker, Kristen Stewart, Ken Jeong, The Underwear Model (aka Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) and James Franco.
