Clearly you cannot take any film TOO seriously or you will give yourself an aneurysm over something you have zero control over, but with all the honour and glory being dished to the biggest films of the last year, its also fun to point out that every year has its stinkers too. The “awards” you don’t want to get – The Razzies, has chosen today to announce their list of the Worst of the Year as well as some special “Worst of the Decade” Nominations.
Now this is the ugly end of the subjectivity of film. If someone says they like a great movie, you can be indifferent about it and still have no opinion. But if someone bashes a film that you are even indifferent about, its on. Time to go all playground and bash that mother for pissing on your favourite movie.
But then some movies are just bad. Some are bad and we don’t care. So just try to remain somewhat civil, as this list might point out some crapfests from the last year, but it also has a degree of silliness to it like calling the Jonas Brothers the worst actors in a “film” that is a concert. Uh.. they were not acting. It was a concert.
Anyways check the list out….

Madonna (Die Another Day, The Next Best Thing, Swept Away)
So while I agree that this is not a bad list, and the Worst of the Decade noms are pretty accurate. (Battlefield Earth and Freddie Got Fingered are both terribly bad kind of terrible)
But I dont agree that Travolta, Murphy or Affleck should be considered Worst Actors of an entire decade. I am sure there are tons more deserving of the title. Especially when Eddie Murphy got an Oscar Nomination in ’07. He might have rolled out some steaming piles, but hardly in the talentless pool that should be “the worst” like Rob Schneider – or 50cent.
Also, just to support the theory that singers are not actors I would like to point out that of the 5 Actress noms, only one is an actor (who also happens to sing)
