Talk about timing. I’m back at this thing for three days and
here comes the biggest news on the bad movie calendar. Well, second biggest,
right behind anytime Uwe Boll rubs two nickels together and a movie appears.
Ladies and
gentlefellows, the nominations for the 33rd Annual Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies as they’re known to those in the uh know, were announced
today.
The
Razzies of course reward the worst Hollywood has to offer each and every year.
This
year, the Razzies went high tech and made their big announcement via a Youtube video. So if you’re not big on reading or prefer to surf the net with your eyes
closed (dangerous) you can check that out.
The big winner, or loser depending on
your perspective, was “Twilight: Breaking Dawn: Part II,” which scored 11 nods
despite there only being 10 categories. It was nominated in every single
category and twice in Worst Couple, the latter being a Razzie first.
Former funnyman Adam Sandler
continued to be the Razzie version of Meryl Streep, as everything he touches
turns to spray-painted gold. While he couldn’t quite match last year’s “Jack
and Jill” debacle (it won everything, sweeping all 10 categories, also a Razzie
first) with his latest, called “That’s My Boy,” the film still racked up an
impressive 8 nominations.
As per
tradition, let’s take a look at the races in some of the bigger categories, and
I’ll offer my predictions on who’s going to take home a spray-painted trophy (Predicted winners are in bold/underline).

Basically, the Razzies are going to send the "Twilight" franchise off in style, riding a "Return of the King"-like wave of trophies into moviegoers nightmares, where it will remain for all of time. It won't be a clean sweep because what fun would that be two years in a row, but it will be close. Get
those bets in now, “winners” will be announced on Oscars Eve, Saturday,
February 23.
