World's Worst Director Admits It

This weekend, Uwe Boll will be "honored" by the Golden Raspberry Awards, which for 30 years or so has laid the smack down on cinematic lowlights as far reaching as Pia Zadora and Battlefield Earth.Boll will receive the Worst Career Achievement award, for a body of work that includes two BloodRayne movies (and somehow, a third on the way), House of the Dead, In the Name of the King, the 9/11 satire, Postal, and about a half-dozen journalists Boll bloodied in a boxing ring for saying negative things about him. You'd think Boll would be just as defiant about his new distinction, but apparently, he's taking it in stride. He tells Fangoria that he won't be in Los Angeles on Saturday to pick up the tropy because he's busy filming in South Africa. One thing you can say about Uwe: He works all the time. That he doesn't seem to improve may underscore why he merits the Worst Career Achievement award, but he's always got two or three things going at once. But what about his competition? Since he can't be there in person to claim the honor, who else does Boll think might deserve the award? “No one, only me," admits the worst director alive. I couldn't agree more. The Razzies are always the night before the Academy Awards, and we'll give you the complete rundown of winners/losers, keeping a close eye on The Love Guru, which in more ways than one, is the anti-Slumdog Millionaire.

I think those Movie movie guys deserve it more. At least Boll tries. Pathetically yes, but nevertheless he puts a foot forward.
