‘Argo’ wins big at Oscars, ‘Twilight’s’ cleans up at Razzies

That’s it folks. Award season for 2012 is all over and done with. Some won, a whole bunch more lost and everyone has an opinion on everything, leaving many questions open for discussion. Was Seth MacFarlane the worst, most offensive Oscars host ever? No, certainly not. Did “Argo” deserve to win the top prize? Debatable. Did the latest “Twilight” flick deserve seven Razzie awards? Most certainly. Between cinema’s top prize, the Oscar and its antithesis, the Golden Rasberry (or Razzie), one thing remains certain (besides the terrible suck-itude of the “Twilight” series): We still love movies, and will never stop being excited and enticed by what they have to offer. So, check out the full list of “winners” from both ends of the spectrum and get your inspirational biopic dramas ready for next year’s awards. Go!
