Crappy movies will soon get ready to take cover, because the nominations for this year’s RAZZIES are in! The Hollywood awards season is already in high gear, and despite a recent attempt by Ricky Gervais, no one manages to put the industry in its place quite like The Golden Raspberry Awards. The 31st annual event, traditionally held the night before the Academy Awards, has released its list of victims for the February 26 ceremony of celluloid ignominy. Don’t think that big box-office numbers will save a film from the shame, leading the pack this year for Worst Picture, is none other than latest entry in the tween-tingling, supernatural romance-fest Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Joining it, will be director M. Night Shyamalan’s already-legendary epic failure The Last Airbender, yawn-inducing Jennifer Aniston/Gerard Butler romcom The Bounty Hunter, likely franchise-killer Sex & the City 2, and an obligatory nod to the latest vapid “genre parody” movie in the Twilight-esque Vampires Suck!. So, with that set, let’s take a look at the other nominees, while pointing and laughing.
