Tis the season for glamorous award shows honoring the best in Hollywood. It can get pretty competitive with great movies like "Black Swan" and "The Kings Speech" on the ballot. However, there is one organization that awards a different kind of movie.
The 31st annual Razzies awards highlight what they perceive as the worst movies of the year. This years nominations range from vampires to gross 3D movies. Worst picture nominees are "The Bounty Hunter", "The Last Airbender", "Sex in the City 2", "Twilight Saga Eclipse", and "Vampires Suck".
"The Last Airbender" and Twilight both received 9 nominations in categories like worst director, actor, screenplay. Mylie Cyrus is nominated for worst actress for her role in "The Last Song".
The worst eye-gouging mis-use of 3D category started this year due to the explosion on 3D movies in 2010. Nominees are "Cats and Dogs 2: Revenge of Kitty Galore", "Clash of the Titans", "The Last Airbender", "Nutcracker 3D" and "Saw 3D".
It's important to note that some of the nominees were hugely successful at the box office. According to Wikipedia, Eclipse grossed $693,579,566 at the box office and set a record for biggest midnight opening in the U.S. I confess that I watched Eclipse and kinda liked it, but I do think it is worthy of the nomination. Its just so darn cheesy and melodramatic. And who can really relate to Bella? Who has ever had to convince their vampire boyfriend into turning her into a vampire?
I must say, some of these races are pretty close. However, we'll have to wait till Feb. 26 to see the results. The date is intentailly set on the night before the Oscars. Last year, Sandra Bullock won a Razzie for her role in "All about Steve", and then won an Oscar for her role in "The Blind Side" the next day!
So, who do you think will take home the prize?
