No awards season would be complete without the Golden Raspberry Awards (AKA The Razzies), awarded each year to the very worst movies to hit Hollywood. This year's winners will be announced on Oscar weekend; could multiple-nominee The Love Guru take home top honors? See the full list of nominees below.

on Jan 21 2009 10:27 AM "The Love Guru" (because it was supposed to be bad) or "The Happening" (because it was supposed to be good) (Reply to this) |
on Jan 21 2009 10:28 AM Man, its starting to not even be funny when people make fun of Indiana Jones. Should it really be in the same category as Disaster Movie and The Happening?!?!?! (Reply to this) |

on Jan 21 2009 10:34 AM I love that Hollywood is celebrating the end of these people's careers. Survival of the fittest, Uwe. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 21 2009 10:40 AM ya i know, it was a bit of a dissapointment, but it wasn't that bad (Reply to this) |

on Jan 21 2009 10:49 AM ben kingsley for the love guru I agree with but I liked him in the wackness (Reply to this) |
on Jan 21 2009 11:04 AM I did like Repo, but Paris earns her spot for it. She truly sucks as an actress. Go figure. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 21 2009 11:07 AM Ben Kingsley getting Razzie noms for War Inc. and Wackness is wrong. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 21 2009 11:15 AM They have to nominate undeserving movies like Indiana Jones each year simply for the how dare they controversy created by doing so. If not, who would even notice the Razzies? (Reply to this) |
on Jan 21 2009 11:16 AM Yeah, the Wackness was a good movie, for which Ben Kingsley's performance was almost uniformally praised. That's the only thing that I don't like about the razzies, if an actor has a bad year, the razzies will **** on everything they were in that year. Anyway, in 2008, in my opinion Ben Kingsley was 2 for 2. Love Guru and War Inc. were losses. But Transsiberian and the Wackness were excellent films! He had a better year than Pacino.

on Jan 21 2009 11:19 AM Great list, I wish this was televised! I'm sure if Kingsley or Wahlberg don't win this time, they'll get many more chances in the coming years. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 21 2009 11:22 AM Indy 4 was ok with HORRIBLE cgi but clone wars and the happening level, no way. (Reply to this) |
|
on Jan 21 2009 11:23 AM And Ben Kingsley was great in The Wackness (Reply to this) |
|
on Jan 21 2009 11:53 AM Indiana Jones 4 wasn't a bad movie (I enjoyed it, though no where near as much as 1 and 3), but somebody needs to send a message to George Lucas to stop making unnecessary sequels and prequels just to get a quick buck. On a similar note, Star Wars: Clone Wars should have gotten a nomination for "ugliest computer animation ever." (Reply to this) |

on Jan 21 2009 11:54 AM Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull is the worst movie of the year to me- I had to scoop out my brain, wash it in soap then sew it back in after watching that. Awful what they did to poor Indie! Awful! (Reply to this) |

on Jan 21 2009 11:55 AM Kind of rough on Indy weren't they? I agree that maybe just trying to shock people with the nomination (while it was somewhat disappointing it wasn't one of the five worst). Also, I kind of liked "The Happenning", though I know the concept was pretty far out there. Maybe it was a "its so bad its good" feeling, but I enjoyed the B movie thriller aspect of it (comparable to '50s sci fi). As a director, Shymalan has a great eye for putting scenes together and creating great visuals. He just has to take a break from writing his own stuff for awhile. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 21 2009 12:06 PM While I like the concept of the razzies and many of the nominations make sense, they do go a little overboard when they want to dump on someone in particular. Ben Kingsley for the Wackness? Insane. I also would have to say that Paris Hilton was perfectly acceptable in Repo (she was basically playing herself). Sure, she is a horrible actress and I'm sure deserved the nom for Hottie/Nottie (of course, I didn't see it), but not for Repo. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 21 2009 12:07 PM yes Indy Jones should be here in fact it should win the razzie because it is one thing to deface a paint by numbers piece of crap. but lighting the mona lisa on fire is a much more serious crime. I mean aliens in indy jones are you ****tting me, seriously some one needs to send spielberg and lucus to a mental hospital because they have lost their minds. Next movie ET2 where ET attacks the white house and tries to take over the world they could put shia leboef and will smith in it as jet pilots trying to save the world from evil ET and his evil army of children on flying bicycles.

on Jan 21 2009 12:18 PM The Razzies are a complete joke for the most part. I stopped paying attention to them long ago. They practically compile a list panned films with A actors just to turn heads and draw attention. With the exception of the Uwe Boll, Disaster Movie/MTS' and Happening nominations, practically most of the other films are out of place. The fact that the Razzies believe that films (or the acting found in) such as KotCS, Speed Racer, Righteous Kill and Max Payne are more deserving of a nomination than films like; Saw V, Babylon A.D., The Spirit, 10,000 B.C., Punisher: War Zone etc., is proof that the nominations are a farce.

on Jan 21 2009 12:26 PM No kidding. They're only ganging up on the movies that got media attention. Anybody who sticks Indiana Jones and Speed Racer in with Disaster Movie is just being an a-hole. (Reply to this) |
