And the Razzie Goes to...


I love the Razzies; they're so bitchy. They're given out one day before those other awards, you may have heard of them, the, uh...Oscars. Though sometimes slightly unfair to the actors (Halle wasn't bad as Catwoman, it was just a bad movie) the Razzies have become a great way of recognizing the crud that came out in the past year. Jessica Alba is nominated for Worst Actress for her work in not one, not two, but three shitty films she starred in last year. I'm oddly satisfied. But, she faces stiff competition from Lindsay Lohan who was nominated twice for Worst Actress for playing twins in the shiteous I Know Who Killed Me. Haha. Out of the five flicks up for Worst Picture, I've only had the misfortune of seeing one, Norbit. I think it deserves the Razzie. Check out the full list of nominees.
