There have been plenty of good actors who have neither gotten an Oscar nod, nor won one. That doesn't mean anything. 

Originally posted by TaRaN-RoD Even if my reasons could be stupid to hate Stallone, it's the same thing that you did to Stallone for years... so! And I don't see any Oscar nominations for Bale! He never got one!   So call him as he is one of the greatest actor is really stupid, and doesn't worth the status of great actor and he is far the worse than Orlando Bloom in the actors of the new generation... Leonardo DiCaprio, THIS is a great actor!

I understand, and also agree - to a point. I don't think the masses are always wrong, though. I did like Chariots of Fire; I just don't think it even belonged in the same league as Raiders. At the time, Raiders was fresh, innovative, and one hell of a roller coaster ride.

Doesn't mean I like oscar-noticed "artsy snoozefests" either. I liked Meet Joe Black and was especially fond of Remains of the Day.

Pierce Brosnan, well known for films such as Mrs. Doubtfire, and those two James Bond films which at least won a RAZZIE, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day, looked like he deserved the RAZZIE, not just for bad acting, but for bad singing. Meryl Streep was just watchable throughout the movie.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull for Worst Remake/Ripoff/Prequel or Sequel, Geroge Lucas is one of the reasons why this movie was actually bad. Throughout the past before filming on this movie began, he didn't like the screenplay for a 4th Indiana Jones movie, and it has been in delay for a long time. I think, from my point of view, it looked like it was worth a 19-year wait, but a bad movie and a bad idea for a movie. and for the first time in RAZZIE history, a film directed by Steven Spielberg actually "wins" a RAZZIE after he had like 3 other films nominated like HOOK, THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK and WAR OF THE WORLDS, and let's not forget about some of those other films nominated for a RAZZIE or two he worked as a producer and executive producer, like JURASSIC PARK III and MEN IN BLACK II.

Mike Myers follows Shrek co-star Eddie Murphy for the Worst Actor trophy. Other Shrek co-star Cameron Diaz nominated for Worst Actress was definitely deservable, but Paris Hilton, not just bad acting, but being unwatchable, deserved both Worst Actress and Worst Supporting Actress RAZZIEs.

Uwe Boll was definitely Germany's revenge for losing World War II, but in a bad way, and now, along with Worst Career Achievement, he finally wins Worst Director, beating off the other director who beat him off 2 years ago, M. Night Shymalan (or however it's spelled).

I think that Witless Protection and Strange Wilderness suffered similar fates. Both movies fell victim to disasterously low (but well deserved) box-office numbers. A few years ago A Sound of Thunder suffered a similar fate. It wasn't just the worst movie of the year, but truly among the worst movies ever; unfortunately, only about 6 of us actually saw it and we didn't have the opportunity to beat the drum loud enough. I guess it is something of a structual flaw going forward with the size of the organization that some deserving films will fall through the cracks on an annual basis, but at least films will tend to win that have recognizable names.

Even so, I made a prediction early in the year that is showing some insight. When I recounted this year's winners to my wife, her reaction to Uwe Boll's career victory was, "Who's he?"

I was happy with the wins. I haven't seen any of Paris Hilton's films (except for House of Wax which was better than most horror films). But she looked terrible in the preview for Hottie and the Nottie, and it is hard for someone to look bad in a preview! They put in herr "best" scenes, they added music and sound effects -- and she still looked bad. Brutal!!   

BUT Head RAZZ Dude, I have a question: I was on cinematical.com and they were talking about the awards, and they said "Let's just say Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jessica Alba both got away with one there." I am not sure if you wrote that or they did, but why was Sarah Michelle Gellar even mentioned? Her only film she had come out last year was The Air I Breathe, it came out last January, and she was good in it. Just wondering if you knew anything about that??

Originally posted by Razzilla I think the same went for Witless Protection...  If enough people saw it...it would have been a sure-fire winner...

I'm thinking "Love Guru" won because out of all the Worst Picture noms, it was the most high profile. But it is kinda funny that both the Best Picture and the Worst Picture of 2008 had to do with Indian culture.

Originally posted by Michaels I guess in the end, more voters avoided "Disaster Movie" as if it were the grim reaper itself. I can't really blame them.
