RAZZIES again miss the mark...

Hey folks, Harry here...

 

Alright - so it's Oscar day - which means we've a couple of awards show results to share with ya.  First is the RAZZIES...   And again, they go for the laziest possible choices.   

WORST PICTURE 2010 went to THE LAST AIRBENDER, a mediocre film - that given the potential of the material - might be the biggest disappointment of 2010... but certainly under no circumstances would it really be the worst picture of 2010.   I mean, hands down - the worst film I saw of 2010 was FURRY VENGEANCE or GULLIVER'S TRAVELS.  And that's just within the realm of Studio Produced.   REPO GIRL hurt my brain in a way that I have trouble communicating.

WORST ACTOR 2010 went to ASHTON KUTCHER for KILLERS & VALENTINE'S DAY.   Again, this is merely about publicity.  Not a real reasoned evaluation.   Brendan Frasier is the clear winner for FURRY VENGEANCE.

WORST ACTRESS 2010 was a tie amongst the four leads from SEX & THE CITY 2:  Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis & Cynthia Nixon.   Again - as bad as they were...  was that the worst performances by lead actresses in a film in 2010.   Personally, I despised the acting of Julianne Moore in THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT - but I seem to be alone on a deserted island with that.  And I love Julianne, that was more of a writing problem for me. But who was worst for you?

I'm already weary writing responses to these awards.   SO the remainder I'll simply list and let you judge:

 

WORST SUPPORTING ACTOR 2010:  JACKSON RATHBONE - THE LAST AIRBENDER & TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE

 

WORST SUPPORTING ACTRESS 2010:  JESSICA ALBA - THE KILLER INSIDE ME (total bullshit), LITTLE FOCKERS, MACHETE & VALENTINE'S DAY

 

WORST EYE-GOUGING MIS-USE OF 3-D:  THE LAST AIRBENDER (I'd debate and say CLASH OF THE TITANS remake, but they were both painful.)

 

WORST SCREEN COUPLE / ENSEMBLE: The Entire Cast of SEX & THE CITY 2 (did they see FURRY VENGEANCE?)

 

WORST DIRECTOR:  M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN for THE LAST AIRBENDER...   but man, Roger Kumble deserves the broken nose.

 

WORST SCREENPLAY:  THE LAST AIRBENDER...   beginning to feel like an axe to grind.  Sure, it could've been genius and was only mediocre...  but GULLIVER'S TRAVELS owns this for me.

 

WORST PREQUEL, REMAKE, RIP-OFF or SEQUEL:   SEX & THE CITY #2...   I would debate this, because that would mean it was significantly worse than the original...   for me...  this goes to CLASH OF THE TITANS. 

Overall - Oscar Weekend is slow - but the RAZZIES have really lost any real oomph since they ceased to objectively look at the field - and instead started going for sensational bullying.   what do you folks think?
