A Decade of Razzies


With the release of the Oscar nominations, you will also get the Razzie nominations, which “honor” the worst films of the year. Those nominations came out Monday and seem to concentrate on the likes of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” “Land of the Lost,” “Old Dogs” and “G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra.” The Razzies are voted on by viewers who are Razzie members (there is a fee), and the awards show premieres Saturday, March 6, the day before the Oscars. Here are the Razzie nominations – I’ve shortened the titles of “Transformers” and “G.I. Joe” since they’re too long and they appear quite often among the nominees.

Worst Picture
: “Transformers,” “All About Steve,” “G.I. Joe,” “Old Dogs,” “Land of the Lost”

Worst Actor: All three Jonas brothers, Will Ferrell (“Land of the Lost”), Steve Martin (“Pink Panther 2”), Eddie Murphy (“Imagine That”), John Travolta (“Old Dogs”)

Worst Actress: Sandra Bullock (“All About Steve”), Beyonce (“Obsessed”), Miley Cyrus (“Hannah Montana: The Movie”), Megan Fox (“Jennifer’s Body” and “Transformers”), Sarah Jessica Parker (“Did You Hear About the Morgans?”)

Worst Supporting Actor: Billy Ray Cyrus (“Hannah Montana: The Movie”), Hugh Hefner as himself (“Miss March”), Robert Pattinson (“New Moon”), Jorma Taccone (“Land of the Lost”), Marlon Wayans (“G.I. Joe”)

Worst Supporting Actress: Candice Bergen (“Bride Wars”), Ali Larter (“Obsessed”), Sienna Miller (“G.I. Joe”), Kelly Preston (“Old Dogs”), Julie White (“Transformers”)

Worst Screen Couple: Any Two or more Jonas Brothers, Sandra Bullock & Bradley Cooper (“All About Steve”), Will Ferrell & any co-star, creature or “comic riff” (“Land of the Lost”), Shia LaBeouf & Megan Fox or any Transformer (“Transformers”), Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner (“New Moon”)

  1. I never saw it, but I heard Will Farrell made a REAL stinker with "Land of the Lost," so I'm not surprised at finding it here. But I thought everyone in America was in love with Megan Fox, so seeing her nominated was a bit of a surprise. Not saying I DISAGREE with the nomination, mind, just saying it's a little surprising...

  2. God bless her, but Megan Fox is purely in any movie for eye candy purposes. I don't think she's a bad actress, she is what she is and just not anything else. That's not a bad thing, mind you. She should get paid all she can right now.

  3. Interesting. I've only seen five of the above mentioned movies including Transformers. I didn't think it deserved a Razzie.
