UPDATE: Apparently this is a list or “suggestions” and the nominees will be announced later this year. Do not take these to be official nominations.
The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation has announced their nominees for th 2009 Razzie Awards and yet again you can spot the not-so-subtle attempts at humor and the obvious nature of the entire list. The best part of the whole thing is that the way these awards are decided are based on member votes, which means people actually spend – at a minimum – $20 to submit votes and say films such as Disaster Movie and Meet the Spartans weren’t any good. I wonder, did these people actually go spend money on these movies or are they voting purely on the idea that these movies must be bad? Because if they actually paid to see all of these movies that may be as sad as the award show itself.
Below are the nominees for the 29th Annual Razzie Awards. Notice the addition of Tom Cruise to ensure more people report on this story and the wit that comes with nominating “Al Pacino and His Hair” and “Sylvester Stallone and His Ego” in the Worst Couple category. Must have been some long nights coming up with those genius jokes. Oh, and the inclusion of Uwe Boll in the nominations is a stroke of genius, because that doesn’t make these nominations any less redundant or meaningless.
Have fun.
