2011 Razzie Award Nominations
CAROLINE: Just for fun, I thought we’d talk about the Razzie Award nominations which were announced today.
RYAN: The Razzies are always held the night before the Oscars, which this year is Saturday, February 26th. And the nominations never disappoint.
CAROLINE: I love how they nominate actors for multiple roles in different movies. Like, Ashton Kutcher, you were horrible in both Killers and Valentine’s Day.
RYAN: And I love it when the actors themselves show up to receive their Razzies, a la Sandra Bullock last year for All About Steve, and Halle Berry for Catwoman.
CAROLINE: I’m a little annoyed that they nominated all four ladies from Sex and the City 2 for Worst Actress. That movie has become such an easy target. I myself quite liked it.
RYAN: So did I! And I loved Twilight: Eclipse too; that is so not even close to being the worst movie of last year. Sometimes I think they just nominate stuff for fun and to be provocative, when I’d rather they nominate real bad movies like The Nutcracker in 3D.
CAROLINE: Totally. Thought I wholeheartedly agree with their inclusion of The Bounty Hunter. What a piece of crap! Here’s the complete list of nominees:
