Earlier this week The Scorecard Review announced the nominees for the 8th Annual TSR Movie Awards. Rob and ‘New Moon’ were nominated for a number of awards, including “Best Blockbuster,” “Best Music,” “Best Action Hero” (“Jacob Black” and “Edward Cullen”), “Best Ending,” “Best Visual Special Effects,” and “Best Screenplay (Adapted).” Rob was nominated for “Quote of the Year” for the final line in the movie, “I have just one condition. If you want me to do it, then marry me Bella.”


. However, aftering logging in to vote today, we noticed that ‘New Moon’ and all cast memebers had been removed from the nominee pages. Since then we’ve learned that Jeff Bayer, the TSR administrator behind the decision to pull ‘New Moon’ from the nominees list, has released an official statement.

I run The Scorecard Review … Unfortunately, I had to remove ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ choices. Too many twihards were giving everything Twilight a 10, and every other film a 1, trying to manipulate the results.


I love movies, movie fans and I have no problem with people loving Twilight, but trying to kill other movies is not the point of these awards. It was a difficult choice, as I love the attention the TSR Movie Awards have already received, but here is an example of what was happening …


In the BEST MUSIC category, Twilight had a 9.3 score. The next highest was Crazy Heart with a 3.8. That was the next highest! In other words, there were hundreds of twihards who decided the best way for Twilight to win was to give the other nominees a 1.


I apologize to all the Twilight fans who took time, and now don’t have the opportunity to vote for the film they love.


Here’s a side note … Edward was beating Jacob in BEST ACTION HERO/VILLAIN/SUPERHUMAN. It’s pretty funny actually. Edward had the most first place and last place votes. But officially, Team Edward was in the lead.
