In the midst of all the hoopla surrounding yesterday’s announcement<\/a> of this year’s Oscar nominations, the committee behind the Golden Raspberry Awards once again stepped forward to deflate Hollywood’s celebratory back-slapping. The organization announced its nominees for the worst of all the crap that plagued movie screens last year. Would it surprise you to learn that ‘The Last Airbender’ and ‘Twilight: Eclipse’ topped the list? No, I didn’t think so. <\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n

I like the idea of the Razzies in theory better than they usually wind up being in execution. Year after year, the awards take pot-shots at easy targets \u2013 movies that are pretty much universally agreed to be terrible. That’s essentially what happened with this year’s nominations, which poke fun at critically reviled duds like ‘Vampires Suck’, ‘Jonah Hex’, ‘The Last Airbender’, and ‘The Bounty Hunter’. Do we really need someone to tell us that these movies stink? <\/p>\n

If there are any surprises here, I can’t believe that anyone even remembered ‘Valentine’s Day’ enough to work up any hatred for it. Admittedly, I haven’t seen the film, but is it really that awful, or just generic and mediocre? While you couldn’t pay me to see ‘Twilight: Eclipse’, from what I’ve heard, it’s somewhat less<\/em> atrocious than the previous two ‘Twilight’ movies. <\/p>\n

Just once, I’d like to see the Razzies grow some balls and take down a few overrated movies that people out there actually like<\/em> and might defend. I’m not an ‘Inception’ hater by any means, but I certainly think that movie deserves an award for “Worst Abuse of Pseudoscience Gibberish in a Screenplay.” Or how about ‘Black Swan’ for “Most Gratuitous Lesbian Fantasy Scene Written and Directed by Men”? But do we see anything like that here? Of course not.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here are the Razzie nominees<\/a>:<\/p>\n
