I love
The Razzies. I love that there's complete balance with the good films and the bad films, or at least, what we're supposed to value as the good films and devalue as the bad ones. I love that the ceremony is the day before the Oscars, and I love that Halle Berry showed up to collect the awards for Catwoman. She's a bit loony, that one, but I gained a lot of respect for her because she was willing to bite the bullet and make fun of herself.

Here are
the official nominees for the 29th annual Razzies:
Worst Picture:
Speed Racer
Disaster Movie and Meet the Spartans
The Day the Earth Stood Still
High School Musical 3
The Hottie & The Nottie
Dungeon Siege
The Love Guru
Postal
Rambo
The happening
Meet Dave
Witless Protection Worst Actor:
Zac Efron
Dane Cook
Larry the Cable Guy
Eddie Murphy
Al Pacino
Keanu Reeves
Sylvester Stallone
Tom Cruise (Valkyrie)
Will Ferrell
Ashton Kutcher
Mike Myers
Adam Sandler
Mark Wahlberg Worst Actress:
Paris Hilton
Jessica Alba
The cast of The Women
Camilla Belle
Cameron Diaz
Kate Hudson
Diane Keaton
Jennifer Connelly
Zooey Deschanel
Vanessa Hudgens
Eva Longoria-Parker
Reese Witherspoon Worst Screen Couple:
Any couple from HSM 3
Cameron Diaz & Ashton Kutcher
Paris Hilton & Joel David Moore
Kate Hudson & Dane Cook
Kate Hudson & Matthew McConaughey
Larry the Cable Guy & Jenny McCarthy
Any couple from Mamma Mia
Eddie Murphy & Eddie Murphy (Meet Dave)
Al Pacino & His Hair
Mark Wahlberg & Zooey Deschanel
Mark Wahlberg & Mila Kunis
Sylvester Stallone & His Ego Worst Director:
Uwe Boll
Scott Derrickson
Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer
Tom Putnam
Marco Schnabel
Sylvester Stallone
Jon Avnet
Diane English
Roland Emmerich
Brian Robbins
Kenny Ortega
M. Night Shyamalan Worst Prequel, Sequel, Remake or Rip-Off:
Indiana Jones 4
HSM 3
Rambo
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Disaster Movie
Meet the Spartans
An American Carol
The Women
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Prom Night
Speed Racer
X-Files: I Want To Believe Worst Career Achievement:
Uwe Boll
Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer
Madonna
Keanu Reeves
Sylvester Stallone My front runner is The Love Guru, because it really fits what the Razzies are all about. Nobody expects a Paris Hilton movie to be good, and the same goes for the Movie movies. Mike Myers deserves a big black eye for Guru, however, and I think he might get it on February 21st.

Do you have a vote, Mr. Boyd?
I don't, no. I meant to sign up last year, but forgot about it.
Love the idea of The Razzies, but too many "worthy" candidates aren't represented, like Hayden Christensen (Jumper), Hiliary Duff (War, Inc.), and the deadly duo of Martin Lawrence and Raven-Symone (College Road Trip)...
Yeah, and I keep thinking about Toby Keith in "Beer for My Horses".
I don't think these are the actual nominees, just the shortlist. But still, good to see this amusing list of stuff. I'm calling for "Love Guru" to take Worst Pic and Mike Myers to take Worst Actor, Paris will take the Worst Actress, and M. Night Shyamalan will be the Worst Director (even though "The Happening", IMO was not THAT bad.)
The other categories- don't know, don't care.
Let's get real. "Valkyrie" is not a bad movie and Tom Cruise did a fine job. I think Cruise is in the list because he is a Scientologist. Well...
lmao @ the cast of The Women... and someone up there you got that right with your nod for Hilary Duff. eesh.
worst career achievement i'm a huge supporter Uwe Boll, but i do blame Madonna for the years she stole Guy Richie. Swept Away is the Worst film ever imo, at least she got slapped around in it.
Putting the new rambo movie in the razzies , is an outrage. I am beggining to think that fat old critics that did not achiev anything in their lives have something against a man that made one of the best movies franchises ever (Rocky). Rambo is by far a more entartaining movie thatn most of the last 3 years oscar nominated movies.
I agree with the last poster, the latest Rambo movie kicked @$$!!!!!!!! Sylvestor Stallone has single handedly saved Rocky and Rambo with his last two films!
