The utterly pointless Razzie Nominations for 2008 are out. I can't tell you how downright ridiculous this ceremony is, so I'm giving you the list just so you can see how stupid they really are. Granted, some such as Disaster Movie and The Happening easily warrant a slaughtering; but Rambo, The X-Files and Reese Witherspoon? Also, Tom Cruise is nominated despite a hit, well reviewed movie in Valkyrie. Anyway, here's the list:
Worst Actress:
Paris Hilton, Jessica Alba, The cast of The Women, Camilla Belle, Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson, Diane Keaton, Jennifer Connelly, Zooey Deschanel, Vanessa Hudgens, Eva Longoria-Parker, Reese Witherspoon
Worst Actor:
Zac Efron, Dane Cook, Larry the Cable Guy, Eddie Murphy, Al Pacino, Keanu Reeves, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Cruise (Valkyrie), Will Ferrell, Ashton Kutcher, Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, Mark Wahlberg
Worst Prequel: Sequel, Remake or Rip-Off:
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, High School Musical 3: Senior Year, Rambo, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans, An American Carol, The Women, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Prom Night, Speed Racer, The X-Files: I Want To Believe
Worst Screen Couple: Any couple from HSM 3, Cameron Diaz & Ashton Kutcher, Paris Hilton & Joel David Moore, Kate Hudson & Dane Cook, Kate Hudson & Matthew McConaughey, Larry the Cable Guy & Jenny McCarthy, Any couple from Mamma Mia, Eddie Murphy & Eddie Murphy (Meet Dave), Al Pacino & His Hair, Mark Wahlberg & Zooey Deschanel, Mark Wahlberg & Mila Kunis, Sylvester Stallone & His Ego

Why even bother having a ceremony? Just call round to wherever Friedberg and Seltzer squat, and beat them with the plastic, hastily assembled award. Granted, given the idiots that choose these, that would be like self-flagellation.
