The Razzies Worst Picture contender shortlist

This might surprise some folks but I've never really liked The Golden Raspberry awards(known as The Razzies). The annual award (dis)honors the worst films and performances of the year, and usually takes place a day or so before the Academy Awards.  I think it's their voting method, which appears to emphasize only the most recognizable flicks and leaves out some truly deserving, heinous offerings.  A shortlist of the Worst Picture contenders for this year's awards has been released, and again I think they've left out some pretty obvious ones. The choices are...

Little Fockers
Sex and the City 2
The Expendables
Grown Ups
Clash of the Titans
Killers
The Bounty Hunter
Yogi Bear
Jonah Hex
The Last Airbender
Vampires Suck
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

For the record I had Jonah Hex, Little Fockers and Yogi Bear in my bottom 10 as well, but most of these choices are obvious obvious obvious and merely attempts to drum up interest. I dislike the Twilight series as much as anybody, but are you seriously going to tell me that Eclipse is one of the worst movies of the year? Uh, no. Let's be serious.  Where's The Back-Up Plan? Burlesque?

Is it possible for The Razzies to hand out an award to themselves? I think they finally deserve it.
