Jennifer Lawrence Gets Five MTV Movie Nominations

Originally posted 03/06/2013 12:00PM

This year's MTV Movie Award nominations were hot on Jennifer Lawrence, but colder on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.

Lawrence, 22, fresh off her Best Actress Oscar win, earned five nominations, including three with her Silver Linings Playbook costar Bradley Cooper for best musical moment, best kiss and best on-screen duo.

Django Unchained and Ted led the pack with seven nominations each.

But it was thumbs down for vampires Bella, Edward and Breaking Dawn, which received just one nomination – for Taylor Lautner, who received a nod for best shirtless performance.

Who's misérable now?

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, Adam Sandler and Rihanna are among the "winners" of the 33rd annual Golden Raspberry Awards – the Razzies – which are not so much handed out as they are thrown at those who are voted as perpetrating Hollywood's worst achievements of the year.

Breaking Dawn – Part 2, the fifth and final installment in Stephenie Meyer's vampire saga, was recognized in seven categories, including worst picture.

The flick's Kristen Stewart was also cited as worst actress; Taylor Lautner, worst supporting actor; Lautner and 12-year-old Mackenzie Foy, worst screen couple; the entire cast, including Robert Pattinson, worst screen ensemble, and Bill Condon, worst director.

In addition, the film, which since opening last November has taken in more than $828 million at the box office, was named worst sequel.

Anne Hathaway on Winning An Oscar: Whatever Happens, Happens

Originally posted 02/11/2013 07:00AM

She's won big at the Golden Globes and now the BAFTAs, but will Anne Hathaway take home an Oscar?

Hathaway – who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Les Misérables – isn't spending too much time worrying about it.

"Whatever happens in two weeks, happens. It won't be the worst thing that happens to me if I don't win, and with my husband by my side it won't be the best thing either. So I am feeling very good about whatever," the actress, 30, told reporters backstage after nabbing a best supporting actress statue at Sunday's British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards in London.

Take that, Academy!

Hours after Ben Affleck was snubbed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which did not give him a Best Director nomination for his film Argo, he won in the same category at Thursday night's 18th Annual Critics Choice Movie Awards in Santa Monica.

"I'd like to thank the Academy," joked Affleck, 40, while on stage to collect his hardware. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding! This is the one that counts."

It was a familiar feeling for Taylor Swift Wednesday night – and no, not just because she was on stage receiving an award.

Her acceptance of the People's Choice Award for favorite country artist was met with a minor interruption, thanks to presenter Olivia Munn.

More than three years since she was notoriously interrupted by Kanye West at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, perhaps the recently single superstar was just a little more prepared this time around.

The Big Bang Theory star, 27, who will host the People's Choice Awards on Wednesday for the second consecutive year, tells PEOPLE she's "the least prepared person in the world," but it doesn't concern her one bit.

"Even with [Big Bang], too, I never have a script," she explained right before rehearsals for the awards show.
