33rd Golden Raspberry Awards discussion

[indigohex]

Well, it is that time of year again, and the awards season begins with the one I look forward to the most: the Razzies. In case you don't know what the Golden Raspberry Awards are, it honours the worst in film for the previous year (in this case 2012). This year it looks impossible for a film to win every award (like Jack and Jill did last year), but it seems harder to predict with several films deserving of this award. Here are the nominations for this year's awards.

You can now discuss who will win. My tip is "Battleship" ahead of "The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure" (a kiddy version of "Battlefield Earth") for Worst Picture. Good luck to all the nominees for the Razzies this year.

EDIT: I now think "The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure will win the Worst Picture award now after some careful research.

Don't you mean "bad luck" ;D?

I don't know why you have some of them highlighted in yellow, but I wouldn't do that if I were you, even if they're what you want to "win" the awards. It's a bit confusing.

Anyway, I haven't seen any of these movies on the list, nor will I ever watch them, so I can't really make proper judgments. Even though I hear "Battleship" was such a disappointment, I think "Oogieloves" will get Worst Picture. It got poor box office results for a reason, and from all I've heard about it, it really treated the audience like morons, even though it was targeted for children. So my bet's on "Oogieloves" for Worst Picture, and possibly Worse Screen Ensemble. Anything else in the other categories I don't really care about.

I read on Wikipedia that Oogieloves was a box-office bomb (in fact, it was the biggest box-office bomb for films released in at least 2000 cinemas). I have never heard of half the films that have been nominated, and now I think it is for a good reason (terrible films). For worst picture, I have heard of "Battleship", "That's My Boy" and "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn", but haven't seen them. But I wouldn't be surprised if Oogieloves win worst picture.

By the way, the "winners" will be announced on Oscars eve. And the nominees in yellow are my tips for the awards.
