I'm voting for the worst eye-abusing use of 3-D because I STILL have nightmares of going to see Tony Anthony in Comin' At Ya' back in 1981. It surely was the cinematic equivalent of Velveeta. So cheap that the entire last reel re-ran all the cheesy 3-d effects that were in the movie. Still remember the awful migraine I had when the movie ended and I took the "Magicvision" glasses off. Thumbs Down

Well, you know the whole 3-D gimmick thing is getting out of hand when even Oscar bait dramas are in 3-D!

Yet another horrifying attempt to jump on the cash cow. I can only stand for it if they truly put forth the effort to make it 3D-compliant. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't.

Not just that -- it doesn't even add anything to the movie, beside cheap tricks that they have been doing in 3-D movies since the gimmick was invented -- ie. actors pointing at the screen, or playing with yo-yos or paddle-balls!

Anyone in for "Worst Foreign Film"?  

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: The concept of a Worst Foreign Film RAZZIE® has arisen repeatedly over the three decades we've done our awards. The problem is that, if it truly sucks, a foreign film is unlikely to ever achieve even limited theatrical release in the US, let alone a release wide enough for a substantial number of our Voting Members to ever see it. Thus the idea of including such a category is inherently a waste of time...

If they are only released in their native countries, it's going to be hard for Americans, and people outside of those countries to see and vote for them.

I gotta go with Rom-Com. They are getting worse and worse, to the point where it is very rare to see one without a sub-20% RT score. 
 
Meanwhile, I don't wanna get my hopes up, but horror movies seem to be in a minor bounceback, with Daybreakers, The Crazies, and Shutter Island all being respectable films. But Paranormal 2, Saw VII (in 3D!), and Piranha 3D are still to come, so Winter '10 must have been an isolated incident. 
 
3D on the other hand, while annoying, has little to do with the quality of one's filmmaking, and is more of an excuse for the lack there-of (barring the occaisons when the movie is actually enjoyable, such as MBV and Avatar).
 
Also, I don't really see the need to separate the Remake/Rip-Off/Sequel/Prequel into two categories as a special occasion. 
One push is all you need.....

Well, as much I would like the winner to be 3-D abusing, since all it does is "help" the box office grossing by doubling the ticket price so that bad movies do well, it seems voters here hate rom-coms even more.

For every genre there's at least one good movie each year. That has always been the case for rom-com and horror. Well,maybe 2005 is the exception for the latter. Anyway those shouldn't be categories. Among the "Worst Picture" nominees there will definately be a rom-com. So the winner for "Worst Rom-Com" will be obvious. Although that happens with pretty much every award.

"Worst 3D Movie" shouldn't be either. When one decides the best and worst movies they can be divided by genre. But 3D is a technique that doesn't have to do with filmmaking itself. It's true that some movies are made with being in 3D in their minds and that makes them film the movie a different way the wanted. Still.

The reason to separate "Worst Remake Or Rip-Off" and "Worst Sequel Or Prequel" is because they're similar but not the same. Besides,that gives us the chance to nominate more movies. The problem is that the winners tend to be obvious. However,now that most movies enter in those categories and they tend to be bad it could be like last year in which 3 of the nominees were also up for "Worst Picture".

Responding to Vits' points above:  

1. We still have yet to have a good rom-com this year. Not one so far.

2. 3-D is nothing but an excuse to jack ticket prices up and it does nothing to enhance the movie. Anyone who saw "Clash of the Titans" will tell you that. And we have two guys here who will be more than happy to tell you 3-D didn't help matters for "Alice In Wonderland" either.

What's the point of having "Worst Cast" if a lot times "Worst Couple" nominates the lead and anyone else.There's also times when they nominate any pair of characters.

I liked Oiram's idea.After,several awards have done it.

That's why I argue that "Worst Couple" is a cop-out. It's almost all ways "lead star and everyone he/she shares screen-time with." Or when you have the entire male cast for Worst Actor or the entire female cast for Worst Actress, it just doesn't make sense. Worst Ensemble Cast would save up a lot of space on the ballots in the solo performance catagories and would still mock a bunch of people without have to take short cuts like those a mentioned above. And considering the large amount of movies featuring "all-star" casts that have been released this year (apparently the newest marketing gimmick in Hollywood, along with overdosing on 3-D), it's not like there's a shortage of ensemble casts to vote for...

Burn, I see what you mean. But, personally I'm not a big fan of a "Worst Cast" category. You can have a bad or mediocre movie, with several bad or wooden performances, which nevertheless has a good (sometimes great) performance that saves it or at least makes it watchable: Vittorio de Sica in A Farewell to Arms, Joan Plowright in The Scarlet Letter, J.K. Simmons in New in Town, Billy Burke in Twilight, Marion Cotillard in A Good Year, just to name a few.

This year, Hector Elizondo proved once again what a good, reliable actor he is by giving a good performance in Valentine’s Day -- in spite of the terrible lines he was given. So it would be kind of unfair to include him in a potential Worst Cast category together with the Kutcher/Alba/Lopez/Swift/Lautner combo.
My Picks... so far:
Worst Picture BUCKY LARSON
Worst Actor Shia LaBeouf
Worst Actress Martin Lawrence
Worst Sup Actor John Turturro
Worst Sup Actress Vanessa Hudgens
Worst Director Michael Bay

You could argue the same (well, opposite technically) for the Ensemble category at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
