The worst in movies this year - The Razzies

So you thought Tuesday's Oscar nominations were the big story, not by a long shot. The golden Raspberry Award Foundation nnounced its Razzie nominations for the year's worst movies and performances.
According to CNN:
"Bad sequels and remakes tortured movie audiences last year, and they provided a smorgasbord for the Razzies, an Academy Awards spoof that pays heed to the worst in Hollywood.

Four of the five worst-picture nominees for the Razzies were sequels or remakes, led by Son of the Mask, which had eight nominations Monday, including worst actor for Jamie Kennedy and supporting actor for Alan Cumming and Bob Hoskins.

The other worst-picture contenders were Rob Schneider's sequel Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, Jenny McCarthy's raunchy romance Dirty Love, the TV update The Dukes of Hazzardand the horror remake House of Wax."

Razzies will be announced March 4, the day before the Oscars.

Tom Cruise earned three Razzie nominations, as worst actor for War of the Worlds and two of the five slots in a new Razzies category for most tiresome tabloid targets. Cruise was nominated there for his anti-psychiatry rant and for his very public romance with Katie Holmes.

The majority of worst picture nominees also get a mention in the worst sequel/remake category along with Bewitched.

Son of the Mask's nominations also included worst supporting actors for Alan Cummings and Bob Hoskins.

Worst actress nominations included Jessica Alba for Fantastic Four and Into the Blue, Hilary Duff for Cheaper by the Dozen 2 and The Perfect Man and Jennifer Lopez for Monster in Law.

Holmes was also nominated for worst supporting actress for Batman Begins, Hilton for House of Wax, Jessica Simpson for Dukes of Hazzard and her sister Ashlee for Undiscovered.

I think that perhaps it's time to create a Lifetime Achievement Award for Jenifer Lopez. Remember last year's Gigli.
