This morning’s Academy Award nominations have been not with no controversy (Mila? Julianne? Howdy?). And in an business filled up with remarkably thin-skinned folks, an Oscar snub is hard.
But another slate of award contenders, launched Sunday, brings sighs of relief from those missing from its list. The Razzie Awards honor the worst with the worst, including many stars that, this time final 12 months, thought they could be up for Oscar gold for their function in 2010.
Let’s pause for a moment of silence for the abundant and popular.
Two movies tied for your highest amount of Golden Raspberry Award nominations with nine every single.
The Previous Airbender scored noms for worst photo, worst director (M. Night time Shyamalan), worst remake, worst screenplay, worst ensemble,
Windows 7 Pro, worst supporting actor (equally Dev Patel and Jackson Rathbone), worst supporting actress (Nicola Peltz, who played possible lesbian Katara) and worst “eye-gouging misuse of 3-D."
Neck and neck for many dishonored film is Twilight: Eclipse,
Office Enterprise 2007, up for worst image, worst ensemble,
Microsoft Office 2007, worst director (David Slade), worst screenplay, worst sequel and three worst acting awards (Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattison and Taylor Lautner).
Should I acknowledge that I think Eclipse was type of entertaining? Nah.
Jessica Alba’s worst supporting actress nomination could possibly be a type of Lifetime Reduced Achievement Award, given the truth that it incorporates her roles within the Killer Within Me, Tiny Fockers,
Windows 7 Product Key, Machete and Valentine’s Day. Only all of these moves ended up in 2010 and Alba seems to pop up on the Razzie checklist every single 12 months.
Oh, Jessica, how diverse your daily life would be if only you had run away with Original Cindy.
The film that was my individual biggest disappointment in 2010, Intercourse & The City 2,
Office Pro Plus 2007 Key, earned a worst image nomination along with worst ensemble, worst director, worst screenplay, worst sequel and a collective worst actress nod for its leading ladies.
That is a movie that may possibly have been better in eye-gouging 3-D, depending on what exactly did the gouging.
One of my favorite Razzie nominations is inside the worst screen couple category: “Josh Brolin’s face and Megan Fox’s accent" in Jonah Hex. Again I say, Megan, just don’t speak.
The past couple of years, the Razzie Awards have become a place for nominees to prove their coolness. Final yr, Sandra Bullock accepted the worst actress Razzie the night time before she accepted the best actress Oscar. Halle Berry showed similar good humor the year before. Just one more reason to love these women.
Visit the Razzie Awards website for the complete list of nominees and let us know what you assume. Who ought to and shouldn’t be around the record? Are any of the truly horrible films and actors of 2010 lacking?
