Here Are The Totally Predictable and Boring Razzie Nominations


Every year, while the Oscars honor the “best” in film, the Razzies honor the worst.  Now, I have to admit that I think the Razzies are overrated and somewhat predictable.  They tend to nominate the films that everyone already agrees are bad.  There’s a tendency to go for easy laughs and obvious targets.  That’s why predictably bad Adam Sandler films will always dominate the Razzies while the films that represent the worst tendencies of Hollywood — like Man of Steel, for instance — will somehow be ignored.

What I’m saying is that next year, we need an alternative to the Razzies.

However, until that day comes, here are the Razzie nominations for this year.  Not surprisingly, they nominated Lindsay Lohan, despite the fact that she was actually pretty good in The Canyons.  But, it’s the Razzies and Lindsay is an easy target.

  1. You know what we need to do next year? We need TSL awards for the worst in Hollywood. Let the writers for our site hammer out categories, nominate films for each, and then vote on the results.

  2. Sylvester Stallone has been a frequent target of the Razzies over the years. But look at the names of those films. What the Razzies don’t understand is Stallone’s performances in those films probably aren’t meant to be dramatic masterpieces. I haven’t seen any of them, but it’s safe to say he’s not reciting Shakespeare.

    The Razzies show how little the people behind the awards know about cinema, as opposed to how much they know. Yes, they target a lot of people who are obviously untalented, but anyone can do that. You’re not going to impress me by telling me that one of those Kah-whatchamacallit sisters is a lousy actress. One can smell the lack of talent in that family from a mile away.

    • Exactly! And I might not know as much as Sylvester Stallone as some people but I still really have a hard time imagining that he’s ever been the type to claim to be a great actor. From what I have seen of him, he seems to understand his limitations and his audience and he picks his roles accordingly.
