The Razzie Awards: What’s not hot in moviesThe night before the Academy Awards, another ceremony served as a worthy prelude. No, not the Spirit Awards — that show is far too classy. This awards show selected the worst of the worst for a Golden Raspberry Award. The big “winner” was a familiar, um, face.
Paris Hilton tied the record for the most awards, scoring worst actress for The Hottie and the Nottie, worst supporting actress for Repo! The Genetic Opera and worst on-screen couple for her pairing with either Christine Lakin or Joel David Moore in Hottie.
Sadly, I missed Hilton’s tours de farce, but the Razzie Awards have my respect based on her fellow nominees for worst supporting actress: Carmen Electra — Disaster Move and Meet the Spartans
I saw 88 Minutes. It took me a week to get the smell out of my clothes. Will someone get Leelee Sobieski a new agent? Hilton’s competition for worst actress: Jessica Alba — The Eye and The Love Guru
I’m still ticked off about The Women. Even Jada Pinkett-Smith as a beautiful lesbian couldn’t redeem it. The Love Guru earned the most Razzies of the evening, for worst actor (Mike Myers), worst screenplay and worst picture.
The trailer alone was enough to convince me the awards were well deserved. I won’t deface AfterEllen.com by posting it, but if you must see it, be my guest. Check out the complete list of “winners” at the Razzie Award website and let us know what you think. Did Paris Hilton deserve to sweep the female categories? Was The Love Guru the worst movie of 2008? What are your personal picks for the 2008 worst of the worst? Submitted by on February 23, 2009 - 12:00pm. |

My parents dragged me to see
Hmm
88 Minutes wasn't THAT bad..
But The Love Guru definitely was. I still don't know how I maneged to suffer through the whole thing, especially cause I watched it at home and didn't have the guilt of paying and leaving in the middle.
But the worst movie of the year was Disaster Movie, no doubt about that.
Or maybe Dance movie. Was that the same one? They are all so freakishly and horribley alike.
my best friend dragged me
my best friend dragged me into the love guru...we left after 30 minutes....that movie was so awful...i wasted 30 minutes of my life for that crap ! i want them back mr. myers!!!
I laughed all the way
I happen to enjoy the Love Guru
My friends and I found it quite entertaining. It clearly wasn't trying to be a serious contendor in terms of the Oscars. It's job was to entertain and that I think it did well. It even made fun of itself, comparing past Mike Myers movies... it made me laugh and having Mariska H. make an apppearance was icing on the cake.
I think the new Madascar movie was bad. Actually walked out of that one. Wall-E was boring but quite intellectual... maybe I'd give it an award on principle.
Indiana Jones was also boring. Completely missed the mark.
I think the worst movie of the yr should go to either: Meet the Spartans or Disaster Movie. Really?! Would would agree to make these. At least The Love Guru is playing on a familiar type of movie goer - a guaranteed audience [i.e fans of the Austin Powers flicks]. What were pple thinking when they made these two? Epic Fail?!
Go forth and press play @ 3WayTv.tv
88 Minutes

"I saw 88 Minutes. It took me a week to get the smell out of my clothes. Will someone get Leelee Sobieski a new agent?"
You cracked me up :D I got forced to see it and I don't know the people who did anymore! I am not kidding :p
But I am shocked that The Women didn't "win". It was a horrible, horrible movie! The housekeeper was the only one who got nice lines and was neat in general. Jada is always beautiful but seriously...why did no one tell her that she doesn't play a dude? (I will get into trouble for that, I know, but I so didn't like it!) I was trying to write a review about the movie but hated the portraying of almost all the female characters so much that I was too sarcastic even for my own taste (and that's hard to reach, though).
Nice roundup, TheLinster! Like your posts a lot!
European lesbian news in entertainment and politics
The Women was crap.
Umm.. sex and the shi**y!
How could the Razzies miss the sex and the shi*ty now prolongated and made into a feature of real movie length - damn it even the show's finale episodes were a 100 times better. That chick flick was a complete torture - I can't believe I got dragged into that.. damn my friends! Luckily I didn't pay live money, but I will never get my wasted time back. The script was thinner than a church waffle and the humor was a fart joke..
