    Twilight was awesome. I’m not saying it couldn’t have been better, but it wasn’t ever close to deserving a Razzie. It’s made $300 million at the box office and is still playing to crowded theaters – I went last Saturday and the theatre was packed! I’m not saying $$ equals quality, but people aren’t generally stupid. A bad movie may earn tons of money on its first weekend, but if it’s crap, that’s reflected the next week at the box office, when people stop going.

    If $$$ mattered, Milk, The Reader, Reservation Road, and Slumdog would be nominated..
