On one hand you have the Oscars, which award Hollywood's highest honors. On the other you have the Razzies, which give prizes to Hollywood's worst yearly achievements. While we have to wait a few more hours for this year's Academy Award nominations to be announced, The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation have jumped the gun early by announcing this year's round of the lowest of the low. Check out the press release below and click on the link to see the individual nominations.
Following a Banner Year for Bad Movies, voting members of The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation have sifted through the cinematic rubble and selected what they consider to be last year’s Berry Worst “Achievements” in Film. In addition to 2009’s top under-achievers, The Gala 30th Annual RAZZIE® Awards will dis-honor The Worst of the “Uh-Ohs,” with special awards for the Worst Picture, Actor and Actress of the Decade in ceremonies scheduled for Hollywood's Barnsdall Gallery Theatre at 7:30pm/PST on Saturday, March 6 — the now traditional Night Before the Oscars®.
Leading the pack among this year’s RAZZIE® contenders are one of the year’s biggest money-makers and the year’s biggest money-loser, each with seven nods. RAZZIE® Repeat Offender Michael Bay helped lead the over-loud, over-long, uber-stupid TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN to a huge box office take...and to a huge haul of RAZZIE® nominations as well. In addition to Worst Director and Worst Picture, the film is up for Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel, Worst Screenplay, Worst Supporting Actress (Julie White as the stoned, screaming mother of Shia Le Bouf), Worst Screen Couple (Le Bouf and EITHER Megan Fox OR Any Transformer) and Worst Actress (Fox again, dually nominated for this film and JENNIFER’S BODY). Keeping up with TRANNIES, TOO in the RAZZIE® race (but decidedly not at the box office) is Last Summer’s Biggest B.O. bomb, LAND OF THE LOST, also with 7 shots at taking home spray-painted gold. LOST star Will Ferrell is listed in both Worst Actor and Worst Screen Couple (Ferrell & Any Co-Star, Creature or “Comic Riff”) and the film itself is also nominated for Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel and Worst Supporting Actor (the screaching Jorma Taccone as the monkeylike Cha-Ka). Rounding out the Worst Picture list are the Disney dud OLD DOGS, the awful “action-figures-come-to-life” 9-Year-Old-Boy-Movie G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA and the So-Good-It-Was-Held-Back-from-Release-for-2-Years “comedy” ALL ABOUT STEVE (whose star, Worst Actress nominee Sandra Bullock, could pull off the unprecedented feat of “winning” a RAZZIE® one day before winning an Oscar®).
Other well-known names shamed as being last year’s worst include 2010 Oscar® co-host Steve Martin (Worst Actor for PINK PANTHER 2), Beyonce (Worst Actress for OBSESSED), Worst Actor of the Decade contenders Eddie Murphy (up for Worst Actor of 2009 in IMAGINE THAT) and John Travolta (Worst Actor of 2009 for OLD DOGS) as well as the twitty Dizz-Knee ’tween idols Miley Cyrus (Worst Actress for HANNAH MONTANA: THE MOVIE) and any two or more of the Jonas Brothers, nominated jointly for Worst Actor and Worst Screen Couple — for their documentary JONAS BROS. A 3-D CONCERT EXPERIENCE. A complete list of nominees is included with this press release.
Nominees were determined by mailing ballots to 647 Foundation members in 46 U.S. states and 19 foreign countries. The RAZZIES® were created in 1980 as a logical antidote to Tinsel Town’s annual glut of self-congratulatory awards by John Wilson, author of THE OFFICIAL RAZZIE® MOVIE GUIDE and EVERYTHING I KNOW I LEARNED AT THE MOVIES. The Barnsdall Gallery Theatre is a facility of the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.

I'd like to know if anyone has ever shown up to accept their award even as a goof. That would be pretty cool IMO and would probably be a good p.r. move showing that you can take a hit, laugh at it and roll with it. Let's see, who needs a new image or image makeover in Hollywood, I'd say maybe if Megan Fox was to show up since she's a sure bet winner the hate for her may abate some
TMZ should sponsor them. I agree with most they say. I liked Land of the lost and Will F, but I know I am in the few on that one. TF2 is def the worst of the year. I agree with karas on Trek being the worst script, but they have the right elements like fx's and actors and acting, but the overall story was crap.
I wouldn't nominate Star Trek for the worst movie because it did have good FX and acting. And there were worse films overall. But it is definitely in the running for worst script.

Meagen Fox blew in Transformers, but Jennifers Body was awesome... I lov that movie, and Im no Fox fan...
Halle Berry showed up to accept her "Razzie" for her role in Catwoman. It was a good PR move. Unlike when she ran that woman over w/her SUV and then left her to die. Not a good PR move.
Land of the Lost should be the winner accross the board.
Nothing done in Transformers 2 was not as bad as that hellcrap called Land of the Lost. GI Joe should be 2nd in everthing.
Come on now...Star Trek should be in this list??? WTF? The story was good (yes, in my view) and people loved it and it reguvenize the series into a bold new direction and it's about damm time. I just don't agree with this at all.
I actually recall seeing pictures of Halle Berry accepting her Razzie for Catwoman. I think it's become almost chic to accept these bad boys. I can't think of anyone else specific off the top of my head, but Berry did do it, I'm almost positive.
Berry accepted and then did a verbatim re-enactment of her Oscar acceptance speech. It was pretty dang funny.
Let me nominate Star Trek for the worst script...
