Halle Berry: Every year as Golden Globes are shined and Oscars are polished, there is one award that no celebrity is interested in receiving: The Golden Razzie, which goes to the year's worst movies and actors. Actually, I shouldn't say "no celebrity" since in 2005 Halle Berry awesomely ascended the stage to claim her worst actress prize for "Catwoman" - check out this clip of her reflecting on the moment. Anyhoo, this year's nominees have been released and, per usual, the choices are pretty spot on, although, Reese Witherspoon? Really? Check out the nominees -- my opinions are clearly marked -- and weigh in on what you thinks to take the top slot in the comments! Worst Actor Zac Efron, "High School Musical 3" Dane Cook, "My Best Friend's Girl" Larry the Cable Guy, "Witless Protection" Eddie Murphy, "Meet Dave" Al Pacino, "Righteous Kill" Keanu Reeves, "The Day The Earth Stood Still" Sylvester Stallone, "Rambo": Tom Cruise, "Valkyrie" Will Ferrell, "Step Brothers" Ashton Kutcher, "What Happens in Vegas" Mike Myers, "Love Guru" Adam Sandler, "Zohan" Mark Wahlberg, "The Happening" Worst Actress Paris Hilton for "The Hottie & The Nottie" Jessica Alba, "The Love Guru" The cast of "The Women" Camilla Belle, "10,000 BC" Cameron Diaz, "What Happens in Vegas" Kate Hudson, "My Best Friend's Girl" Diane Keaton, "Mad Money" Jennifer Connelly, "The Day The Earth Stood Still" Zooey Deschanel, "The Happening" Vanessa Hudgens, "HSM3" Eva Longoria-Parker, "Over Her Dead Body" Reese Witherspoon, "Four Christmases" Worst Picture "Speed Racer" "Disaster Movie and Meet the Spartans" "The Day the Earth Stood Still" "High School Musical 3" "The Hottie & The Nottie" "Dungeon Siege" "The Love Guru" "Postal" "Rambo" "The Happening" "Meet Dave" "Witless Protection" More categories, after the jump!

2008 Razzies Nominations Announced
I’m not a hige fan of the Academy Awards or any of those serious awards ceremonies if I’m honest. I know that’s probably not a good career move as a movie blogger but it’s the truth so what the hell. I just can’t get excited about giving awards to actors who have already been paid a huge amount of money to Star in the movies. It’s like they need even more praise and reward than they already get just for being a celebrity. So what I prefer is those spoof awards ceremonie

While the official list of nominees for the year's worst movies and acting won't be released until January 21, the names on the ballot from which serious-minded voters are expected to choose are laughable at best.Never mind egregious omissions like Seven Pounds, the winner of Vulture's Critics' Poll for 2008's crappiest film, and The Spirit, which las

The 29th Annual Razzie Award Nominations have been released. For those who don’t know, the Razzies cellebrate the worst films and performances of the year. I’m surprised to see the hate for Rambo and Sylvester Stallone, which were nominated for Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst On Screen Couple (Sylvester Stallone & His Ego… very funny), Worst Director, Worst Sequel and Worst Career Achievement as a lot of my friends enjoyed that film. I’ve included my personal choices below in bold.

MSN produces surpringly somewhat accurate list on the year 2008
Maybe 2007 left us spoiled. With future classics like "Zodiac," "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" gracing our screens, 2008, so far, feels a little less ... significant. But that was on first glimpse; now that we've dug in and really looked back through the entire year, we can safely say (and the year's not over yet) that 2008 has been interesting, unexpected -- especially when it comes to performers.Comedians who are usually funny, like Mike Myers and Will Ferrell, were outshined by actors

Vulture’s Critics’ Poll: The Complete Ballots
Ballots for the Vulture critics' poll were collected in three ways. Many critics responded to our requests with lists of their worst movies of the year.

Well, it could've been worse.As 2008 mercifully ends, we're left to ponder a year in which the real and the surreal were pretty much indistinguishable, where insanity actually became tedium, and where every silver lining was eclipsed by a brand new dark cloud. Sure, O.J.'s going to prison, but think about the absurdist comedy-of-errors it took to finally put him there.
