Revenge Nominated for Seven Razzies

Today was not a good day for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen which seven nominations for the Razzie Awards tied it with Land of the Lost as the worst film of 2009. Where the Oscars reward for excellence in film, the Razzies "reward" for making bad films. Clearly their nominating committee did not like the film at all. It seems they didn't like Bay's directing, the script, Julie White's high on brownies performance, anything to do with Fox and more. Some of the nominations (Fox, the script) seem valid, but others do not (White, Bay, etc).

'Transformers,' to me, is the personification of what's wrong with Hollywood right now," [Razzie Author John Wilson] said. "It's all about do what already worked, pander to the audience, put in a lot of special effects. ... It's almost as though when they were editing the thing they had a little egg timer running, and every seven minutes something had to blow up or somebody had to yell, 'Go go go go! Run run run run!'

The "winners" receive a hand-made, spray-painted gold trophy" that is worth about five dollars. Much like the nominations are announced the day before the Oscar noms, so too is the reward "ceremony". The Gala 30th Annual Razzie Awards will be held March 6th at Barnsdall Gallery in Hollywood, CA. The categories and the competition for ROTF is below, click here for find out the rest.
