Stealing Oscar's Thunder: Nominees For Razzies Named Just Ahead Of Academy's "Best" List
THE RAZZLE DAZZLE OF THE OSCARS IS ALMOST UPON US. But first up: the Razzies, a celebration of the year's worst films and performances.
This year's 30th annual Golden Raspberry Awards will take place March 6th, one day before the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. And while Oscar's nominees will be out later today, beating them to the punch is the Razzies' nominees for the worst of 2009.
This year at least one name's expected to top both lists: Sandra Bullock is earning rave reviews for her turn in The Blind Side, but she stunk up the screen in All About Steve and is a Razzie nominee for "Worst Actress."
Keeping her company as "worst" is Miley Cyrus for Hannah Montana: The Movie, Megan Fox for her performances in two movies, Beyonce for Obsessed and Sarah Jessica Parker for All About The Morgans
New Moon’s ambivalent vampire Robert Pattison gets a nomination for Worst Supporting Actor and half of Worst Onscreen Couple. In Robert's case, love and award nominations really do bite.
Nominated for Worst Picture are the critical flops All About Steve, Land of the Lost, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and G.I. Joe: The Rise Of the Cobra.
Transformers’ director Michael Bay gets a nomination for Trannies, Too as the Razzies refer to the second installation of Transformers. A bunch of nobodys keep him company on that list so Bay is sure to win.
With a nod to the aughts, this year’s Razzies’ list includes special categories of Worst Actor, Actress and Picture of the Decade.
To nobody’s surprise, Ben Affleck, Eddie Murphy and John Travolta compete for the title of Worst Actor along with comics Mike Myers and Rob Schneider.
Representing bad actresses are Madonna, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Mariah Carey, and Jennifer Lopez. Sounds about right.

While the Razzies’ ceremony won’t be populated with A-listers, or even B-listers, it’ll be a welcome break from the Hollywood’s most self-congratulatory ceremony.
