I have to agree! Teen Choice, People's Choice and the MTV Movie Awards all have the same amount of credibility...which is none, really.

Unlike the other two awards, with Peoples' Choice, we (and other adults) have the chance to keep an awards show from "nuking the fridge." |

If I had my way, here are the ones I'd like to see win. If I choose more than one, then don't worry. Favorite Movie Actor Favorite Movie Actress Reason - In all honesty, Whip It got the best reviews. But maybe I'd choose Anne Hathaway for only Rachel Getting Married. Favorite Action Star Reason - Christian Bale, a good actor, got his balls busted for early this year's rant and his mediocre performance. Hugh Jackman was pretty much the only memorable performer in that X-Men movie, which upset alot of fans. Hope the sequel does better. Bryan Singer said he might come back to direct. Favorite Comedic Star Reason - Not a big fan of the film, but it was the only one out of the nominees that got the best reviews. Adam finally pulls a good performance for the mainstream audience. Favorite Breakout Movie Actress Reason - Trust me, memorable or not, Saldana was part of a major movie event of this summer. I dig Emily Osment, because she seems like a capable performer that could do bigger things, but Star Trek FTW. Favorite Breakout Movie Actor Reason - Well, we all know Mr. Quinto from Heroes, so we'll let the man who played Captain Kirk get his shine on. Favorite On-Screen Team Reason - Harry Potter pwns Twilight any day of the week, and it has better actors and actresses. Favorite Independent Movie Reason - It's hard to choose. I could add (500) Days of Summer, and I have a raging crush for Zooey Deschanel, but I'm going with the sci-fi films. Favorite Comedy Movie Reason - Do I really need to tell you? Favorite Movie Reason - Either three of my choices are better than anumpteenmillionth romantic comedy, or some tween kid's spank dream. |

No we don't, because: 1. Anyone with internet access can cast votes -- including the same teens who vote on the MTV awards 2. The same adults that elected Bush twice can vote 3. Only 5 of their awards are actually voted on by internet balloting 4. Somebody other than "the people" controls the nominating process. 5. As I noted earlier, there is no way of knowing whether the people casting votes are actually making informed decisions, or simply casting votes for their personal flavor of the month. The People's Choice Awards are as big a joke as the MTV Awards, plain and simple.

2012 left critics either amused, confused, or downright stupefied. I don't know how audiences took it, but a lot of people saw it. 2012 reigned supreme with $65M this week. A Christmas Carol hung on to second, The Men Who Stare at Goats finished third, and Precious charged into fourth. Let's take a look at next week: 11/17 On DVD My Sister's Keeper - This is not real well-known among moviegoers, but it's worth a watch. Bruno - This film is not as good as Sacha Baron Cohen's similar film Borat, but it's still good none-the-less.
11/20 In Theaters
The Blind Side - One of the TV spots contained a review that called Sandra Bullock "a sure-fire Oscar contender". I sure hope that critic wasn't serious! The Twilight Saga: New Moon - As a film adaptation of part of a book series that is second on my list of the Worst Literature of the Decade (behind Going Rogue), this one's gonna stink. The first film got 20 frivolous awards and hopefully for the sake of America's youth, the sequels will garner at least as many Razzie Awards. Here's hoping the expansion of Precious will keep New Moon away from the top of the box office charts. Until next time, so long everybody!

Since everyone is doing it (and I think we need to get away from the People's Choice Awards and back to an award that's just as "honorable" to receive) --

This is who WILL win, sadly.
Why? Because it's "Twilight", and it will sweep this award show like all the ones before it.
Why? See above.
That one is right. [/quote]Favorite Comedic Star Why? Adam Sandler was just not that funny, and Ryan Reyonds is not famous enough compared to the others on that list.
Why? One word: "Twilight".
The movie is not out yet, but he will win, because it's "Twilight".
Why? You should know by now.
Why? Made for $15 grand, made over $100 million back. I think that's a favorite among the people.
Agreed.

In response to saturnwatcher's post about the People's Choice Awards: 1. Yep, and that will be the case with these awards, too. 2. Sad, but true. 3. Again, true. 4. Yet again, true. 5. And yes, true. I really miss the good old days when the Oscars, Emmys, Tonys, and Grammys were the ONLY award shows around.

I think I'll shorten that list to something more reasonable (in other words, NOT re-listing EVERYTHING listed in the forums) and most likely to end up on our voting lists.
That's more like it. |

Twilight is not gonna win everything because Twilight does not represent the "People's Choice". Thousands of adults are voting on this and they would pick more reasonable choices than Twilight. So far, every single awards show that gave awards to Twilight (and therefore nuked the fridge) has been erased from my archives (because the results do not reflect reality). This one will face the same fate if Twilight wins it all. In order to restore order to the movie industry, all of Twilight's sequels must get Razzie Awards. This will show everyone what a complete hoax the series is and the series's real place in movie history (worst of all time).

Twilight Moons The Audience is the obvious Worst of the Weak. However, there is a question of whether there will be a bonus Worst of the Weak. Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans I've Got to Stick More Words in This Movie Title features Nicholas Cage, Eva Mendes and Val Kilmer. And, as it turns out, it's supposedly a sequel, in this case to a revered indie film, Abe Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant. The inital 16 movie reviews on Rotten Tomatoes gives only one rotten review, though, and the age-restricted clip and trailer seems promising (personally, I gave up waiting to have prescriptions filled; I leave the prescription and come back the next day). However, one of the reviewers is my favorite, Prairie Miller, and she liked it, which makes me suspicious about these early reviews. If other critics continue to weigh in positive on this film, I suggest one of us may have to go out, watch this and report back. It's a little hard to believe this film may actually be a good film. By all accounts, it should be pure Razzie material.

Let's bring this discussion to a reasonable realm of reality. The Twilight series, much like the HSM series definitely isn't my cup of tea, but based on everything I've heard about the latest sequel, it not only isn't the worst movie of the year, it isn't the worst sequel and it probably doesn't even belong in the discussion. Not only do I not think that awarding Razzies to anything in the series to date will restore order to the movie industry, I think we could be compromising our integrity. At worst, this is a series that is profoundly mediocre and geared to a specific audience, but that doesn't make it necessarily make it bad. It just makes it something most of us aren't going to find very intersting or entertaining. |

I hope you're joking. I'm almost tired of hearing your Twilight rant. The first film was NOT bad. Are you kidding me. The general audience seem to exaggerate so much. The critics seem more reasonable with their ratings, reaching a 54% on RT in the cream of the crops section! At least they don't give out 1/5, 0/4, 0.5/4 like a free cookie. Even the performances by the cast is pretty great. |
