Razzie Awards Nominations Announced

The Razzie Awards nominations announced
The Razzie Awards nominations announced
Following a Banner Year for Bad Movies, voting members of The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation have sifted through the cinematic rubble and selected what they consider to be last year's Berry Worst "Achievements" in Film. In addition to 2009's top under-achievers, The Gala 30th Annual Razzie Awards will dis-honor The Worst of the "Uh-Ohs," with special awards for the Worst Picture, Actor and Actress of the Decade in ceremonies scheduled for Hollywood's Barnsdall Gallery Theatre at 7:30pm/PST on Saturday, March 6 - the now traditional Night Before the Oscars.

Leading the pack among this year's Razzie contenders are one of the year's biggest money-makers and the year's biggest money-loser, each with seven nods. Razzie Repeat Offender Michael Bay helped lead the over-loud, over-long, uber-stupid Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to a huge box office take...and to a huge haul of Razzie nominations as well. In addition to Worst Director and Worst Picture, the film is up for Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel, Worst Screenplay, Worst Supporting Actress (Julie White as the stoned, screaming mother of Shia Le Bouf), Worst Screen Couple (Le Bouf and EITHER Megan Fox OR Any Transformer) and Worst Actress (Fox again, dually nominated for this film and Jennifer's Body). Keeping up with TRANNIES, TOO in the Razzie race (but decidedly not at the box office) is Last Summer's Biggest B.O. bomb, Land of the Lost, also with 7 shots at taking home spray-painted gold. Land of the Lost star Will Ferrell is listed in both Worst Actor and Worst Screen Couple (Ferrell & Any Co-Star, Creature or "Comic Riff") and the film itself is also nominated for Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel and Worst Supporting Actor (the screaching Jorma Taccone as the monkeylike Cha-Ka). Rounding out the Worst Picture list are the Disney dud Old Dogs, the awful "action-figures-come-to-life" 9-Year-Old-Boy-Movie G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and the So-Good-It-Was-Held-Back-from-Release-for-2-Years "comedy" All About Steve (whose star, Worst Actress nominee Sandra Bullock, could pull off the unprecedented feat of "winning" a Razzie one day before winning an Oscar).

Other well-known names shamed as being last year's worst include 2010 Oscar co-host Steve Martin (Worst Actor for Pink Panther 2), Beyonce (Worst Actress for Obsessed), Worst Actor of the Decade contenders Eddie Murphy (up for Worst Actor of 2009 in Imagine That) and John Travolta (Worst Actor of 2009 for Old Dogs) as well as the twitty Dizz-Knee 'tween idols Miley Cyrus (Worst Actress for Hannah Montana: The Movie) and any two or more of the Jonas Brothers, nominated jointly for Worst Actor and Worst Screen Couple - for their documentary Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience. A complete list of nominees is included with this press release.

Nominees were determined by mailing ballots to 647 Foundation members in 46 U.S. states and 19 foreign countries. The Razzies were created in 1980 as a logical antidote to Tinsel Town's annual glut of self-congratulatory awards by John Wilson, author of The Official Razzie Movie Guide and Everything I Know I Learned At the Movies. The Barnsdall Gallery Theatre is a facility of the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.

    To be honest, Im tired of this concept... So for those who have no talent and more or less failed to reach their goals, you have The Razzies... "awards" that give a sense of fulfillment to, in my mind, a bunch of asses who rip on people that actually have some degree of talent and ability, just to feel better about their own shortcomings.

    Yes, some of these movies weren't good, and yes some of these actors aren't great... but is this still really necessary? There is no depth to any of these 'nominations' and it just ends up being a list of movies/people that are either trendy to not like, or those who are simply hated on because of a jealousy factor. Seriously, give it a rest and stop hating.

    @Brian: Nope, didn't see Hulk either. Nor did I like "X3" "SM3" Hulk1," "Daredevil," or "Fantastic 4." And you can't say that "TDK" isn't a superhero movie just cuz you liked it dumbass. That's the only thing pathetic here. And I figured you'd be too lazy to read, hence why you sum up everything you say into short bursts of insult. And no, I don't know where people get off on me thinking I'm a know it all. If you read my long posts, then you'd realize I don't think that at all. And Brian, read for a change. It'd help, hence why you, the supposed mature one here, being older is wasting time as an 'official' on a movie site rather than doing someting productive with your time, as none of us here are besides blogging about our likes and dislikes.

    @ZanyZap: It was a rhetorical question about my own opinions, and not meant to be taken literally.

    @usulrah: I kinda meant a razzie for screenplay, and that in my opinion, it's been way overrated. 3/5 typically equals "D" but I figured it'd be a C-. Reference my review as to why.

    @anyone else who cares, for the quantillionth time, this is an opinionated site, so stop blowing every measley comment out of proportion as being some kind of major attempt at a rebellion against whatever you're all offended by. It's just opinions. We should all know by now that we need not reiterate that what we post are opinion based, but some ignorant people like Brian think that just because 1 person disagrees with them on 1 point, then everything that person ever liked is bs. Therefore, given his earlier presumption about my tastes, he thinks the following films are retarted:

    1) Letters From Iwo Jima
    2) Crash
    3) Lord of the Rings
    4) Gran Torino
    5) The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
    6) Gladiator
    7) Schindler's List
    8) Jurassic Park
    9) The Star Wars Hexology
    10) No Country For Old Men
    11) The Departed
    12) Back To The Future Trilogy
    13) The Road
    14) Zulu
    15) Kelly's Heroes
    16) American Graffiti

    etc etc etc. I could go on for pages and pages and pages, but I know now that the ignorant that I refer to are too lazy to read it all. And if you're not going to spend 3 minutes or less to read it, then stop asking why in regards to my opinions, for I've given them a thousand times in the past 2wks.

    Totally with you on that, Fallen.

  14. The Narrator: The Better Man

    Haha. For a comic book movie TIH was more than the effort. Meaning it changed things. the only sh*t Avatar changed was technology.

    Lol. so your saying Avatar owned: Memento, Lord of the Rings, Fight Club, Blade Runner, Hurt Locker, The Dark Knight, etc... and other of my favorite films? If so then your f*cked in the business industry.

    Mike Meyers should Definitely get worst of the decade. G.I. Joe and pink Panther 2 should get the worst everything of 2009.

    Thank lord I haven't seen any of these films.

  18. WiseGuy

    JonSpidey you gotta be f*ckin kidding. Twilight may be the worst movie franchise ever made and whoever likes Twilight knows nothing about the art of film and should not be on this site. And GI Joe was one of the worst movies Ive seen in a very long time. And @moviewiz001, Great point I agree.

    HAAAAA! Totally. @slysnide and @jasonbourne49 are just jealous their precious Incredible Hulk didnt do as well as Avatar.

    Avatar has destroyed everything. Nuff said.

  22. Timmy

    yeah wtf. who do they think they are? Kings of internet town? All in all. Avatar should not be on this list. Stop trying to bring down the man that redefines cinema every time he takes a sh*t.

    Yeah, hey, @timmy, can you believe self-procliamed movie know-it-alls, @jasonbourne49 and @slysnide? Embarrassing.

    Wait. 4 stars for Hulk? i don't get it. It's like they know nothing of good film.

    2 years agoby @timmyFlag

  25. Brian

    @slysnide your post was too long. I can't read that tripe.
    @jasonbourne49 you gave The Incredible Hulk 4 stars. Embarrassing.

  26. Warhawk613

    New Moon and Transformer's 2 are a shocker. Both Miley and the Jonas Brothers should automatic will their noms because they suck at everything lol.

  27. WiseGuy

    Oh man this is the greatest razzie list ever. Agree with all the worst pictures, hated every one of them so damn much.

    2 years agoby @zgcorleone072Flag

  28. The Narrator: The Better Man

    And by the way, what Sly just posted... that is a real and actually logical "burn".

    2 years agoby @narratorFlag

  29. The Narrator: The Better Man

    Lol. It was unoriginal Zany. The effects were top notch, probably why Sly gave it 3 stars and the moral background.

    I myself gave it a solid 4.3. Not changing that. But it was mostly due to the pure fun and entertainment of it. It could get old quite easily the more you watch it. Story wise, for the "remake, rip off, or sequel" category it should have gotten a nomination.

    And haha. Thats a burn I Am ThatGuy? I'd hate to see you opinion of a roast.

    Brian you just don't listen do you. I'm talking like an adult and your just going off on my ratings? I gave Transformers 2 a 4 star review and changed it to a 3.5. It got that high due to my "fanboyness". If I wasn't a fanboy it would've sucked no matter what. And the fx were great. Same why I gave Avatar 4.3. I don't hate it. It just doesn't deserve all the praise you two idiots give it.

    2 years agoby @narratorFlag

  30. ZanyZap

    All these noms seem about right.

    How did Avatar not make the Razzies for worst film? Because it's nominated for f*cking Best Picture at the Oscars. Self-explanatory answers are wasted on the ignorant.
