14 DAY TRIAL // Each year, just one day before the glamorous Oscars ceremony, the Golden Raspberry Foundation holds a very low-key event celebrating the worst the movie industry had to offer the past year. The strongest contender at the 2010 edition turned out to be Michael Bay’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” which also turned out to be the big “winner” of the night, as a press release from the Foundation informs.
Aside from Sandra Bullock taking home the award for Worst Actress of the Year (2009) for her performance in “All About Steve,” “Transformers 2” also took home a few accolades, including for Worst Movie, Worst Director and Worst Screenplay, thus efficiently proving that box office success means nothing in terms of achievement. Since this was the 30th annual edition of the awards, a few special categories were also included, like Worst Actress / Actor of the Decade and Worst Movie of the Decade.
“The big ‘winner’ was also one of last year’s biggest box office hits: The overlong, over-loud, under-whelming toy-based sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. In addition to taking Worst Director for The Boy Blunder of Blow-‘em-Ups Michael Bay, Fallen also fell victim as the year’s Worst Screenplay and Worst Picture. Worst Actress was awarded to a star who could well follow up the berry next night with an Oscar win: Sandra Bullock, RAZZed for her performance in All About Steve. The film also took the Worst Screen Couple dis-honor, for Bullock and co-star Bradley Cooper,” the Golden Raspberry Foundation.
“Worst Actor went jointly to Disney Boy Band The Jonas Brothers, playing themselves in Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience. Supporting ‘winners’ were Billy Ray Cyrus, riding his daughter’s coat-tails and playing her dad in Hannah Montana: The Movie and Sienna Miller as the former girlfriend and current nemesis of the main character in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. One of last year’s biggest box office bombs, Land of the Lost, started the evening with a pack-leading 7 nominations. But the $150 million production (which grossed a humiliating $49 million in the U.S.) wound up only ‘winning’ as Worst Remake/Rip-Off or Sequel,” the Foundation further says.
As we also noted earlier today, Sandra Bullock made good on her promise and attended the ceremony in person to collect her award. Convinced that only half of the voting members saw the film (which she approximated meant about 352 people), she also brought along a DVD of the film that got her the “dis-honor.” Below is the complete list of “winners” – none of them attended.
