If you're reading this, you may be among the millions of otherwise level-headed individuals who are convinced that the "Twilight" series is one of the greatest achievements in the history of cinema. Enter the Razzie nominating committee, who are here to tell you that you're wrong.

"Breaking Dawn - Part 2," the final installment in the 'tween-fueled supernatural franchise, has topped all other films by scoring a total of 11 Razzie nominations this year, including Worst Picture of 2012. Coming in a close second with 9 nominations is Adam Sandler's "That's My Boy," while Peter Berg's flop board-game adaptation "Battleship" surfaced with a total of 7.

Among individuals, Tyler Perry was by far the top nominee, with a total of four nods in multiple categories including Worst Director (for the one-two punch of "Good Deeds" and "Madea's Witness Protection"), Worst Actress ("Madea's Witness Protection"), Worst Actor (for both "Good Deeds" and "Alex Cross") and Worst Screen Couple (the "couple" being "Tyler Perry and his drag" in "Madea's Witness Protection"). Perhaps the Atlanta-based empire-builder can wipe away his tears with the hundreds of millions of dollars he has sitting in his bank account.

In addition to Perry, other individuals singled out for disdain include "Twilight" lovebirds Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who in addition to their solo acting nominations (Stewart actually received a double nod for Worst Actress for both "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" and "Snow White and the Huntsman") are also up for Worst Screen Couple of the year.

After checking out the full list of nominees (as well as a really lame announcement video) below, weigh in with your own "Worst of" picks in the comments.

    Battleship is one of the worst films I've ever seen (and I generally avoid such strong statements). For it's budget, it's certainly the worst I can ever remember seeing.

    Hmm. I'm sure it was meant as a big send-off for one of the most mind-numbing phenomenons of recent times, but I actually did not think Breaking Dawn II was that bad. It moved along at a relatively decent clip and kept most of the obnoxious moronics of past installments (love triangle, brooding, etc) to a minimum.

    Heck, I'd almost have tossed Brave into that Worst Picture lineup since it bored me to tears almost entirely throughout, but as I haven't seen any of these other Worst Pictures, I'm sure they have plenty more awful to offer up.

      Laura Stewart Really? Brave? I have seen it twice and shed tears both time. Moving story and beautiful soundtrack.

    "Barbra Streisand – The Guilt Trip"

    So much for that Oscar nomination.

      JJ1 Guilt Trip was like a freak guilty pleasure for me and I thought Streisand was actually quite good and relatively charming; for her.

    The Resident Evil movies may not be good, but I think nominating Milla Jovovich for worst actress is way off the mark. She makes her crappy action movies more watchable.

    Honest question- Was One for the Money really THAT bad? I watched it on a very very very slow day because it was streaming on Netflix and I honestly didn't think it was terrible. No, it's not good. And it's certainly far from Heigl's best work. But I think it was unfairly dumped on. For instance, Hitchcock is terrible because it pretends to be something it isn't. OFTM is a forgettable rom com and it plays exactly into that notion. /endrant

      JJ1 I thought it was pretty darn bad, myself

      Liz Honest answer: I thought it was the worst movie I've seen all year. I tend to not like picking on the movies that have already been torn to shreds by the critics (it just seems mean), but this is an exception. Terrible casting, an awful script, a lead character who is supposed to be appealing despite the fact that she's so incompetent that she's nearly gotten herself killed several times, and an inept technical package. (I've seen Lifetime Original Movies that are more well-made than this.)

      To be fair, I don't think it's all Katherine Heigl's fault, and if I were filling out a Razzie ballot, she probably wouldn't end up on my list. But the movie itself? Yikes.

    I can't believe the Total Recall remake didn't make it in.

    I gotta confess this, if I haven't done so already around here: I thought Battleship was okay, all things considered. Not top 10/gonna-see-again material, but I found it to be a relatively easy and tolerable sit.

    I can't muster any major hatred over it because it has so little to comment on. Characters who existed. Techno-Aliens. Chicken burrito. End of list. And even I can't hate the fact that it's so empty because it's filled with sort-of-alright-I-guess action.

    What I'm trying to say here: I've had far, far worse ways to spend a couple of hours at the movies this year. That's pretty much it.

      ceggertsen I've heard similar things from others I know who have seen "Battleship." In a nutshell: not good by any stretch, but not as bad as its reputation suggests and actually kinda fun.

      THE Diego Ortiz HAHA. Actually I didn't like the movie either. I kept checking my phone for the time. It's a two hour song. It drains you. No time for a break.

    I'm glad that Twilight is over this year, so the Razzies will have to move on to different targets. It just seems tired by this point. And anyway, did they not see "The Raven"? Awful.

    Seriously, no nod for Russell Crowe for Les Mis? The Razzies have lost all crediblity.

      Randommamma Yeah, totally upsets me. Russell Crowe's not even nominated.

    I'm disappointed (and proud at the same time) to say that the only two movies on this whole list that I saw are Total Recall and Madea's Witness Protection. Neither was that bad.

    My least favorite movie of the year was actually The Hunger Games. I think that film was disastrously done, and rather disappointing considering Gary Ross has done good work before.

    That fight scene... almost happened. Or did it?

    Here's our take with (some) humor and pictures if you're interested:
