Again, it all comes down to which movies the Razzie voters actually saw that year. Like 90% of the movie going public, I doubt any voters saw "Master of Disguise" or "Sound of Thunder". That, and who wouldn't want to Razz the shell of its former self that "Star Wars" had become?!

I don't disagree with nominations for the Star Wars Prequels because I did or didn't like them, let alone because of the eye-candy CGI. I just think they were easy to underpass. I often wonder why Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones got nominated instead of The Master of Disguise. And Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Kicking & Screaming, and War of the Worlds were part of what watered down the 2005 Awards. Those 3 movies had middle-of-the-road reviews and were nominated simply because they were more seen, but they robbed A Sound of Thunder, Michael Bay's The Island, and Elektra! In fact, Revenge of the Sith is the only one of the prequels I'd ever defend. It was a decent movie, though not a great one, and it's by far the least of 3 evils! For a Star Wars movie, it was okay, but not really good.

I agree that Wild Wild West deserved Worst Picture for 1999. The Haunting was the most deserving runner up. Nominations for The Phantom Menace were okay, because it and Attack of the Clones are tied for worst Star Wars film of the hexilogy.
 
In March 2003, the Simpsons made fun of Star Wars episodes I and II in the episode "C E D'oh." Carl Carlson brandishes a green carbon rod as a lightsaber. He says, "I think The Phantom Menace sucked more." Lenny Leonard counters, clashing his carbon rod, then says, "I think Attack of the Clones sucked more!"
 
But I digress. I don't know if people always thought Big Daddy was average, or if it grew on people in certain ways that it how has 56% at Rotten T, give or take 4%.
 
And if The Blair Witch Project got nominated for Worst Picture, there surely was nothing to choose from for 1999. The problem with that was the backlash it raised when an urban horror legend alleged that it was based on a real incident of 3 student filmmakers mysteriously vanishing in a New England forest.
 
Personally, I think they should've nominated End of Days and Entrapment instead. And perhaps replace The Phantom Menace with Message in a Bottle.

Man! I'm so sick of people disliking those movies. The R.T. concensus always say things like "If you don't watch the show or play the games, you won't like this movie". If that's your case, then why would you want to watch the movie in the first place?!

Wow... that sounded a bit harsh... I wasn't attacking the Razzies or the way this origanisation works... If that's what you thought?

The only reason... why i posted it, was because everyone keeps saying that they weren't enough bad reviewed movies in 1999... And I kind of wanted to bring the movie up as a counter argument...

By the way... If were not allowed to question past discissions of the Razzies... What is the function then of these Forums for the past Razzie-years?

update: Sorry, about that... I have a very low tolerance towards people who look down on me and I sometimes experience it a situation as such when people aren't doing it (I am already seeing someone for these problems)... If you don't like it that I bring up films that didn't make the Razzies, You could have just said it to me politely instead of using these denigrating remarks (even if you're the moderater of this site). I would have respected that a lot more and would have stopped doing it.

Another update: That previous apology, wasn't really a apology. So here I try again. Sorry about all of this...

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Because we don't have many Voting Members under 10 years old (the target audience of the animated films you cited above)...   

Seriously, though, as I keep having to say over-and-over on this Forum --We cannot possibly nominate every bad movie that's released, and each year's list of nominated films and "achievements" is subject to the whims (and viewing patterns) of that year's Voting Membership...

After watching (and mocking) Yu-Gi-Oh: The Movie yesterday with my little brother. I became curious about the RT-rating of the first Pokémon-movie...

It currently is at 14% on RT... So I was wondering why wasn't it part of the Worst Picture-race in 1999? It's a terrible movie with some of the worst writing I've ever seen, even in an animated movie (like the scene were Ash is brought to life by the Pokémons tears) and was much worse-reviewed than a lot of the actual nominees? 

So why was Pokémon: The Movie (and it's sequels) snubbed by the Razzies?

1999 was a pretty good year for movies, so it's hard to think of one off the top of my head to replace "Blair Witch." However, I think "Blair Witch" was very worthy of a Razzie -- All that hype, and the movie was nothing but a bunch college students running around in the forest with a camera. Half the time, you couldn't see or hear what was going on, and yet the movie made millions -- and even spawned a sequel! 

Never underestimate the power of clever marketing!  


RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: I think Michaels pretty much said it all. Once the initial audiences had seen BLAIR WITCH and over-hyped it to everyone else, the film was bound to be a disappointment, which our Voting Members that year apparently found it to be. As the first "Internet/Virally-Marketed" movie, though, the original BLAIR WITCH was worthy of Oscar consideration for Best Snow Job. The movie itself blew, but the selling of it was brilliant...

What was the motivation behind nominating The Blair Witch Project for Worst Picture? I'll admit it was gimmicky but it was also very positively reviewed, I mean, weren't there any more deserving movies that could have taken it's place? 

Just wondering....

The bright side(for you)is that it didn't go empty-handed.
