Scorecard Review forced to remove Twilight Saga Nominations after fans cheat

New Moon and the Cast have been removed from the Scorecard Review movie awards nominations List.

Official statement, why it has been removed:

"UPDATE: As of this afternoon, New Moon and cast have been removed from the nominations list. Here's an official statement as to why:

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.

I don't disagree with his decision, in fact, I think the TwiFans get out of hand with almost everything.... I understand passion, but insanity is a tad annoying.

Another option he could have done was post the results as "IF Twilight was removed.... here are the results..." then "here is how it is with the Twilight nominations, however, people were voting unfairly and skewing the results... for example....."

TwiFans posted:
I think, the decision was absolutely NOT right. To do that just because some fans didn't vote fair seems not fair for tha Cast and the Crew because they did a great job.

Originally they'd been nominated for:

New Moon was nominated in the categories for "Best Blockbuster," "Best Music," "Best Action Hero" (for both "Jacob Black" and "Edward Cullen"), "Best Ending," "Best Visual Special Effects," and "Best Screenplay (Adapted)."

Robert Pattinson's ending line in New Moon - "I have just one condition. If you want me to do it, then marry me Bella" - was nominated for "Quote of the Year."

Kristen Stewart was nominated for "Actress of the Year (Multiple Roles)" for her work in New Moon and Adventureland, and Michael Sheen was nominated for "Actor of the Year (Multiple Roles)" for New Moon and The Damned United.
