So, a worst Documentary-category would also be impossible?

Like I stated above, I think it could be a contender for Worst Screenplay and Worst Actor in addition to the category you mentioned. But we'll see what the year brings. At the end of the year it might not be among the bottom 5 any longer. ;)
But here's an idea. The other award show has a category for Best Foreign Film. How about a category for Worst Foreign Film, then?
RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: The idea of a Worst Foreign Film category has come up repeatedly over the years. While ONG BAK 3 may be an exception, my response has alwaze been that, if a film is perceived as being wretched in its country of origin, it will not likely see release here. I should also mention that, while OB3 may indeed play in a handful of theatres here in the US, it will probably not even be seen (let alone be available to see) by anywhere near a majority of our hundreds of Voting Members -- in other words, it may indeed suck, but it won't likely be widely enough seen to have any "RAZZIE® Traction."

What are the requirements for it to be considered available to voting members? It's already available on both region A/1 and B/2 Blu-ray and DVD, available to anyone who'd want to give it a go. In all likelihood most rental stores will have a couple of copies of it for a while as well. Still, I see your point, it's not a major title in any way.
Is there going to be a Worst Movie of the Weak this week? I am just wondering because i've seen no signs that there will be on the forum, which i think is a bit odd seeing that enough bad films have been released/mentioned this week. Why are The Dilemma, The Green Hornet and Burning Palms not up for consideration for instance?
Okey, I'll admit Burning Palms seems to suffer the same obscure faith as Ong Bak 3, but Dilemma and Hornet must atleast stick out as very strong Razzie-contendors with there big names and bad reviews.
HeadRAZZ is probably preparing for the Razzie Prevue Night tonight and putting together the final ballot based on our votes. I for one fee The Dilemma should be on the list simply based on the reviews and the very unfunny trailer. Also, if Vince Vaughn or Kevin James (who lends his voice to the upcoming movie The Zookeeper along with Adam Sandler) are in any other Razzie worthy movies, they can be nominated for this one, too.
The Zookeeper does indeed look bad with an ensemble cast of James, Sandler, Stallone, Cher and Ken Jeong. One has to wonder if this is meant to be a razzie-baiter.
I am sorry, if i came over as rude in my earlier post. I didn't mean to be.
Hey,guys.The 9th Annual "Wiken" Film Festival just ended I only got to see 3 movies:
1)Sofia Coppola's SOMEWHERE,with Elle Fanning(Dakota's sister).I gave it 6/10.
2)THE CONCERT from Russia and France,with Melanie Laurent(she seems to have a thing for multi-language movies).I gave it 8/10.
3)BIUTIFUL from Spain,with Javier Bardem(the first movie directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Ińarritu but not written by Guillermo Arriaga).I also gave it 8/10.

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Short answer...YES.
Ummm...cool?

If it was possible I guess Uwe Boll would've won by now.

It's not impossible,but how many bad documentaries are made each year?Luckily one has mixed reviews.

Welcome Cartman.
A movie can't be nominated if it was direct to DVD.

So basically the ones that will more likely be nominated this year decided to get together?Are they protesting against the Razzies?
I now bring you my list of the Top 5 Least Anticipated Movies of the First Quarter. These are the five movies that I absolutely am not looking forward to, but if I have to risk life and limb to give a legitimate opinion, I will. Here we go:
5. Hall Pass - I really don't wanna pay seven dollars to see a movie about Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis behaving badly. It looks like they're in an offensive wet dream.
4. Take Me Home Tonight - When I first saw the trailer for this film, I asked myself, "What the bloody hell was that!?" Despite having a throwback to the 80s, this film looks intensly stupid and out of control.
3. No Strings Attached - No matter how hard he tries, Ashton Kutcher can't seem to pull off a decent performance. He's already slated for a Razzie nod for the movie 'Killers' and he thinks with this film, he can keep his career from going under. If its Tomatometer rating and Metascore are low enough, it might motivate Razzie voters.
2. Just Go With It - You know how they say 'three on a match is bad luck'? This movie stars Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston and its directed by Dennis Dugan. In a way, that's three on a match. Therefore, it is bad luck.
1. Justin Bieber: Never Say Never - With 59% of the Flixster community not interested and a seething hatred showing on most of IMDb's message boards related to this movie, this unnecessary excuse for a concert film might be a huge contender for next year's Razzie Awards.
On Take Me Home Tonight, I have to admit that i was kind of looking forward to that one. I got a bit of an Adventureland vibe from it, wich was even with Kirsten Stewarts twitchyness a very nice movie. I off course can't relate to the 80's theme of the movie (being born in 1989) but i can relate to the "fresh out of coledge and what the F**k will i do with my life"-theme the movie has. That and i've always found Topher Grace a very likeable actor.
As for the Bieber-flick, I am just hoping that he doesn't win the worst actor award. I've always kind of disliked it when they award the razzie to a "performance" in a documentary.
So, a worst Documentary-category would also be impossible?
It's not impossible,but how many bad documentaries are made each year?Luckily one has mixed reviews.
Nonsense, a documentary is a filmgenre like any other and considering how much documentaries are released every year. I highly doubt that all of them are good (or even mediocre). The reason why bad documentaries never find the spotlight is because a documentary on it's own rarely finds the spotlight.

5)Since Bill Hader and Andy Samberg have oficially become part of Apatow's team,Sudeikis is trying to get initiated as a Frat Pack Member.
4)If we have to choose between '80s remakes and sequel or movies that take place in the '80s...
3)Maybe Natalie will win a Razzie a year after winning an Oscar.
2)Nothing against Jennifer.Adam and Dennis are another issue.
1)A concert movie can't be good unless the artist has at least 5 albums.Justin won't sing his greatest hits...he'll sign all of his songs.If they weren't hits they must've been bad.
A movie can't be nominated if it was direct to DVD.
Thank you.
I know that directo-to-DVD movies are exempt from consideration. Ong-Bak 3 was not a direct-to-DVD movie, though. And it's already on the 2011-list, so it has obviously been shown at theaters lately. ;)
Do any one of you want Ong Bak 3 to get nominated THAT badly?
Take Me Home Tonight and Hall Pass, we will have to wait for reviews on, while No Strings Attached, Just Go With It, and Never Say Never, I'm almost certain will get severely negative reviews.
RAZZIE Dirty Dozen: Battlefield Earth, F G Fingered, Pluto Nash, A Sound of Thunder, Alone in the Dark, Dirty Love, Rise Silver Srfr, Daddy Day Camp, IKWKM, The Love Guru, All About Steve, Airbender
Do any one of you want Ong Bak 3 to get nominated THAT badly?
Honestly, no... Not really. If it got Razzie buzz it would probably attract more attention to itself. Attention that it most certainly does not deserve. ;)
