And The Award...(2009)


It feels like ages ago since I sat through the Love guru trying to drown out the insanity with wine. The Award Season ends with the grand finale of The Oscars and the Razzies. Im sure you have heard by now that the Indie/Indian firecracker Slumdog Millionare swept the Oscars. Additonally it is also garnering hatred from pretentious film critics who sung its praise for just before it gained demigod status. While I still firmly believe the award season has nothing in common with artistic merit, I will still keep an ear open for the worst film awards. As with most Razzie ceremonies, certain movies stand out to be the worst overall and leagues above other movies in poor quality. This years grand slam belongs to Mike Myers cosmic insult to the nation of India in the The Love Guru. I guess the same year India is recognized as a major cinematic force is a poor time to make the Love Guru. Actually I think anytime is bad for the Love Guru.
