2014 Razzie Nominations

[cinemaphile]

As someone else (well several) said, it's just lazy piling onto the movies everyone already knows were awful (and many already decided were awful before they ever saw them... hell, I'm sure people vote on them having never seen them).

If you want a counterpoint to the usual awards shows, the best thing USED to be the MTV Movie Awards - for the first 5 or 10 years anyway. They were fun, and the usual awards like "Best Movie" were secondary. The fun is in the categories they make up "Best Oh Sh!t Moment", "Best Kiss", "Best Scare", "Best team-up", "Best Action Sequence", etc...

of course, then the awards show went to SH!T around like 2000 or so when the internet exploded. It became about which fanbases would sit there the longest doing hundreds of votes for their favorites, and awards started going to Twilight movies, and crap like Napoleon Dynamite.

So yeah, there is no good "fun" alternative to the Oscars. It's not the Globes, it's not the Razzies, and it sure as hell ain't the MTV awards anymore.
