The 2009 Razzie Nominations

Every year, the Golden Raspberry Foundation rolls out their nominations for worst movie. In this wild and crazy night which is award season; the Razzies represent the lighthearted moments to alleviate tension and seriousness. They also allow comeuppance to be reached for thousands of frustrated movie goers when it comes to blatant middle-American bullshit. When Mike Meyers eventually receives his worst actor award for "The Love Guru," it should be noted that "worst" does not imply without talent. Myers successfully created and implemented the role of a Hindu stereotype. There are actors in the field who couldn't scare a five year old. Last night, I was watching SS Doomtrooper and enjoyed some of the world's worst acting. However, B-movies rarely make the list despite the quality of their movies being far below Razzie's standard selections. Only popular A-list movies and other movies which gained some noterity during the year are included on this list. While the Razzies are far from stopping the eventual Hollywood implosion; it does allow us to feel redeemed after a year of cursing during the credits.
