Tis the season for award shows, when Hollywood’s elite come together to celebrate the year’s best in the art of film and film making. The Oscars, The Golden Globes, The gordon and the whale dot com staff picks. But what about the not so elite? The big budget/little plot action films. The over-the-top slapstick comedies.

One year your nominated for Oscars, another year your nominated for Razzies. Better watch your back Shyamalan! If you feel your anger and hatred for these films can only be fully expressed by being included in the voting process for 29th Annual Razzie Awards, check out the requirements here. You can also check out the winners, or shall I say losers, from last year’s awards here. If your feeling extra fruity, check out when Halle Berry actually showed up to the 2005 Razzie Awards to accept her award, complete with colorful acceptance speech! How fitting that Halle BERRY show up to the Golden RASBERRY Award Show.

Comment back with your thoughts on the nominees. Any of the year’s worst they forgot? Any nominees you disagree with? While I was truly disappointed by Indiana Jones, I don’t feel it deserves a Razzie. But then I remember the monkeys and the swinging Shia and I digress.
