'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn � Part 2' swept the 33rd annual Golden Raspberry Awards, winning in seven categories including worst picture.
Actor-filmmaker Adam Sandler and R&B star Rihanna were also recognized at the Razzies, which are given to those who are voted as perpetrating Hollywood's worst achievements of the year, reported People magazine.
Sandler, who last year monopolized the Razzies and set a record by winning in 10 categories with the "comedy" Jack & Jill, this year got only two awards: for worst actor of the year and worst screenplay, both for 'That's My Boy'.
Rihanna, as worst supporting actress in the movie 'Battleship', won her Razzie by a landslide.
 
Kristen Stewart was cited as worst actress for her role in 'Breaking Dawn'; 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 USD 828 million at the box office, was named worst sequel.
The Razzies are handed out a night before Hollywood's highest honour, the Oscars.
