Commish - was your mouth agape in surprise when you saw Angelina Jolie did in fact receive a Razzie nomination for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider?

To a degree, yes. I thought she did a fine job -- she saved it from being, IMO, a completely waste of time. I don't think she deserves it in the least...but I'll take solace in that fact that she isn't likely to "beat" Mariah Carey for Worst Actress. I dunno what the voters were thinking in the case of Jolie. Perhaps they blame the movie's other problems on her.

To take it a step further, I'm appalled. I don't see how Jolie's performance can be seen as anything other than, at the very least, a solid one. I have to believe that, with most other actresses, in a movie like this, the issues with Lara's father would have been, basically, a complete joke...but I felt they held together. Believe it or not, I actually found myself sympathizing with the character.

So, yeah, I'm shocked. My mouth is open so as to yell, though, rather than gape. A completely awful nomination, IMO.

I haven't seen Blow, nor Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

Was Penelope Cruz really that bad, as she generally seems relative solid.

Don't worry about it.
All the nominations in that catagory are simply filler around Mariah. If she doesn't win the dishonor, she bloody well should have!

And now for something completely different.......





Sorry but I can't get anough of that pic.

Can I just say:

OH MY GOD.

Mariah Carey's cleavage for worst screen couple? That's classic.

Cruz was wonderful in Vanilla Sky. But there's a Hollywood backlash against her for breaking up Hollywood's favourite couple.

Otherwise, the nominations are fairly routine. Are they sick of picking on Stallone yet? I think it's fun to be razzed on. It truly means you've made it in Hollywood. You could win an Oscar and not be known (Marcia Gay Harden, for example) but anyone who receives a razzie nomination is definitely a member of Hollywood's inner circle.

Here's hoping Tom Green does a Paul Verhoeven and shows up to accept his awards.

Here are The Razzie "winners"...

WORST PICTURE: Freddy Got Fingered

WORST ACTOR: Tom Green, Freddy Got Fingered

WORST ACTRESS: Mariah Carrey, Glitter

WORST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Charlton Heston, Town & Country, Cats & Dogs and Planet of the Apes

WORST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Estella Warren, Planet of the Apes and Driven

WORST RE-MAKE OR SEQUEL: Planet of the Apes

WORST DIRECTOR: Tom Green, Freddy Got Fingered

WORST SCREENPLAY: Tom Green & Derek Harvie, Freddy Got Fingered

I think I read that Green was there and accepted his awards. That's pretty funny, I wonder what he said.

I agree with TWTcommish, Angelina Jolie's portrayal of Tomb Raider was what it should have been. If anything, they should have given the razzie nomination to Tomb Raider's screenwriters, not Croft herself.

I also agree that Cruz was pretty good in Vanilla Sky.

I would feel like such a jack@ss if I were him. That really was the sh*ttiest movie to come down in a long time.

Yes, Tom Green was in fact there to accept all his awards for "Freddy got fingered." I think most people would feel like an idiot up there accepting the awards, but not Tom Green. He's probably proud of his film winning so many awards.

You've GOT to respect that dude for showing up there. That's awesome. I probably would in the same position. What a way to poke fun at yourself. A great sport, IMO.

I have to agree with you there TWT. It shows he at least has a sense of humour, even if it didn’t translate onto the silver screen. Fair play to the guy for actually turning up.

Saying that they are probably the first awards he has ever received.
