I don't know...Catwoman will be tough to beat. =P
Posted by: Magnus9 at January 25, 2005 02:55 AM
LOL
I am sure Alexander is quite better than Catwoman, at least performance wise?

Man what a tough list of nominees to choose from. 2004 really was one of the worst years in cinema.
Posted by: Mark at January 25, 2005 03:47 AM
I think it's rather unfair for them to have Paul Schrader for Worst Director since we've yet to see his version of Excorcist: The Beginning, yes?

i hope alexander will win!!!!!! i hate colin farrell!!!!!!! ET VIVE LA FRANCE!!!!!!
Posted by: jojo at January 26, 2005 06:34 AM
Catwoman will be tough to beat.
Oh yeah, definitely. But the Alexander stench is fresher, which is why I suspect it'll win.

I dont think Ben Stiller should have been nominated. i think he's great. And i liked Alien Vs predator and Around the world in 80 days.

Having anyone nominated as an "actor" for Farenheit 9/11 is a piece of political garbage on your part. Apparently you guys aren't above that. It's a shame.
Posted by: Patrick Irwin at January 26, 2005 11:49 AM
I agree that having "actors" nominated for Farenheit 9/11 is ridiculous, regardless of your political opinions. They are not actors, it's a fricken' documentary. (even though that has been argued by some)
Yes, I get the irony of the nomination, but the Razzies are for crappy projects greenlighted each year.

whoever decided to do this awful degrading awards idea should at least just stick to the ppl that obvioulsy deserve it.
Colin Farrell is an amazing talented actor that has been casted in a lot of roles, every single one he was great in. dont be jealous cuz the ladies luv him- with that aside you know he is talented he should not be nominated fuck whoever said that..this razzie shit is a joke anyway u nominated ure president? for a documentary...LOL
Posted by: Vicki at January 27, 2005 05:24 PM
oh my god, a colin farell fan... c'mon he is ugly and he isn't talented... i hope he'll win!!! he has made a lot of bad movies and alexander is the worst!!!!! i think he deserves a razzie this time, it's obvious!!!!!!!
Posted by: christina at January 28, 2005 11:56 AM
i also think that ben stiller shouldn't be nominated for worst actor his movies were great i think that only Envy should be nominated that movie sucked! Also i saw catwoman and it wasn't that horrible liked the critics say it was.

I didn't see 4 of the 5 nominated movies... Come on, who would when even the ads can't make them look good. The one I did see 'White Chicks', was by accident with a group who decided at the last minute to see it against my objections. The Wayans deserve to win this not only by sheer weight of how bad most of what they've done has been but this being their ultimate steaming pile. Who is funding the stuff they do and why doesn't it stop.

Alexander: Anyone who like Oliver Stone has never touched a history book or had a clue who Alexander was may have enjoyed this one.
Catwoman: An obvious excuse to show off Halle Berry's goods. They succeeded.
Superbabies: Dumb for anyone over 8 years old. But that's the target audience and the 5-8 year olds probably liked it.
Surviving Christmas: Most Christmas comedies suck. This one doesn’t stand out that much.
White Chicks: ? Ok I can't think of an excuse. It was just a bad movie with bad performances. I can’t imagine anyone liking any part of this movie. A Winner!

Bush does a pretty awful job as acting as president so his nomination is understandable.
As far as Alexander and Catwoman are concerned, Alexander should win (or lose depending how you look at things)due to it's acting and directing talent alone.
And those people who expect historical accuracy in film...you need slapped.

so who do you guys think is going to win worst supporting actress i would pick jennifer lopez
Posted by: brandon at February 17, 2005 11:39 PM
what the deal cousin, we in the mall thuggin, gave him a pound now we frontin.....
Posted by: the gifted prolific one at February 18, 2005 01:27 AM
I think if critics of the catwoman film saw catwoman as a superhero like"batman"etc..instead of the original villanesse,you would definitely have a totally different perspective of the whole movie concept.We (family and friends) enjoyed it.

I,Robot with Will Smith now that movie was terrible. Now I like White Chicks!
Posted by: JDJ at February 27, 2005 03:12 AM
Fuck you JDJ, I,Robot was so much better than a fake, degrading film like White Chicks. Will Smith is Mr.Box office.
Go Fahrenheit 9/11, those actors sucked!!

With the amount of bad press it's been getting from all quarters, I'm predicting Alexander to sweep the awards.
