Bullock May Get Nlindsided

According to Razzie founder John Wilson, one movie slipped past consideration for worst picture by a single, glittery hair: New Moon. As they told the L.A. Times, The Twilight sequel just received slightly fewer votes from Razzie members than the fifth nominated movie. "Twilight: New Moon just was not bad enough," Wilson told the paper - though its stars apparently were. Kristen Stewart "and either Taylor or Robert Pattinson Whatz-His-Fang" are nominated for worst screen couple of 2009, and Pattinson also gets a nod for worst supporting actor. The flick also landed in the worst remake, or sequel ripoff category and worst screenplay.

Lee Daniels ( "Precious") is the second African American nominated for best director. The first was John Singleton for "Boyz in the Hood" (1991).
