Last year Breaking Dawn: Part 2 was the undisputed heavyweight champion of the Razzie Awards, getting nominated in every single category and “winning” Worst Film, Actress, Supporting Actor, Couple, Ensemble, Director, and Remake/Rip-off/Sequel. It’s a lot to live down to. What could possibly be a worthy successor to sparkly vampires, Michael Sheen‘s laugh, and this iconic scene of a werewolf falling in love with a vampire baby?
Three words: Johnny. Depp. Redface.
There wasn’t a single movie that caught quite so much hell from the Razzies as Breaking Dawn: Part 2 did, but Gore Verbinski‘s Pirates of the Caribbean-wannabe The Lone Ranger and M. Night Shyamalan‘s Smith-tastic After Earth did pretty poorly for themselves, snagging five and six noms, respectively. And it looks like the Razzies can’t quite let Twilight go, as Taylor Lautner‘s “Frat Boy Andy (uncredited)” earned Grown Ups 2 one of its nine nominations. I’m going to go ahead and predict that Adam Sandler will beat out Johnny Depp for Worst Actor. It’d be his third consecutive “win,” and there’s nothing the Razzies enjoy quite so much as reminding us how far the star of the genuinely hilarious Happy Gilmore has fallen.

*cue people complaining about how the Razzies lack integrity because they nominate the films they can get the most publicity for trashing instead of the true worst films of the year, despite the fact that, like the Oscars and awards season in general, the Razzies are a completely meaningless bit of fun that we should all sit back and enjoy instead of attributing more weight to them than they deserve*
