MTV Defends Twilight's Multiple Razzie Nominations
Remember that Razzie thing? Well, Kevin from MTV has written up an amazing commentary about this, and it's pretty good, I think. The final "Twilight" movie is not nearly as bad as the cynical majority would assume. Any award show, even one that highlights the worst of film, should approach the field of contenders with objectivity and an eye for honoring the best (or worst) contender regardless of public standing or politics. What's so shocking about the "Twilight" nominations is that the same principles that led to its many nods should have also qualified "John Carter," an equally easy film to lampoon that doesn't actually live up its disgraceful public image, which receive no nominations. So why the assault on vampires? "Breaking Dawn" swept for the same reason "The Return of the King" won in every category at the 2004 Oscars. It's awards-giving with an agenda.
