The movie, "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas," wins multiple awards. Not sure these are the ones they wanted to win however.

Courtesy of Vulture:  

The Razzies, the annual awards for the worst of film, found a fitting target for their derision Saturday night. The committee bestowed Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas with four dubious honors, including Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Screen Combo for Kirk Cameron and his ego. 

Here are the categories that this pile of merry pile of crap managed to sweep:  

WORST PICTURE 
Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas 
Left Behind 
The Legend of Hercules 
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 
Transformers: Age of Extinction 

WINNER: Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas.

WORST ACTOR 
Nicolas Cage – Left Behind 
Kirk Cameron – Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas 
Kellan Lutz – The Legend of Hercules 
Seth MacFarlane – A Million Ways To Die in the West 
Adam Sandler – Blended 

WINNER: Kirk Cameron.

WORST SCREEN COMBO 

Any Two Robots, Actors (or Robotic Actors) – Transformers: Age of Extinction 
Kirk Cameron & His Ego – Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas 
Cameron Diaz & Jason Segel – Sex Tape 
Kellan Lutz & Either His Abs, His Pecs or His Glutes – The Legend of Hercules 
Seth MacFarlane & Charlize Theron – A Million Ways To Die in the West 

WINNER: Kirk Cameron and his Ego.

WORST SCREENPLAY 

Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas, Written by Darren Doane and Cheston Hervey 
Left Behind, Screenplay by Paul LaLonde and John Patus, based on the Novel by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins 
Sex Tape, Screenplay by Kate Angelo and Jason Segel & Nicholas Stoller 
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Written by Evan Daugherty and Andre Nemec & Josh Applebaum, based on Characters Created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman 
Transformers: Age of Extinction, Written by Ehren Kruger, based on Hasbro’s Transformers Action Figures

And the WINNER is: Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas, Written by Darren Doane and Cheston Hervey.


It is also worth noting that on Rotten Tomatoes this flop rated a 0%, which is pretty damn difficult to accomplish. 

Gee, do you think that NOW Cameron will finally stop trying to make these movies?

Yeah, me either.

Sarah Palin nominated for a Razzie award for playing HERSELF in a documentary. Ouch, that's gotta hurt!

Courtesy of Politico:

The former vice presidential candidate was nominated Saturday for a Golden Raspberry Award as worst actress for her “performance” in the documentary “The Undefeated,” a film about her political career. 

The tongue-in-cheek Razzies, which purport to salute the worst in the world of movies each year, typically are presented the day before the Academy Awards but their schedule was shifted this year - the nominees were released Saturday and the winners (or losers, depending on how you look at it) are to be announced April 1.

I have still refused to sit through the Undefeated, but from what I understand Sarah Palin does the WORST version of Governor Palin that anybody has ever seen.

The funny thing is that Tina Fey won an Emmy for her portrayal of the Grizzled Mama on SNL, and, if early buzz is any indication, Julianne Moore appears to be a lock on at least getting nominated for an Emmy for her portrayal of Palin in the HBO movie "Game Change."

So it seems that, at least in front of the camera, that EVERYBODY else is a more believable Sarah Palin than Sarah Palin is.

By the way my understanding of the problem is that Palin comes off as too ignorant and psychotic to be taken seriously in the role.

Sarah Palin could win the big prize after all. Well kinda.

Courtesy of LA Times:

Sarah Palin might not win election to the presidency, but she could reap a Razzie Award for her documentary "The Undefeated," which opens in select movie theaters on Friday.

"She's the political equivalent of what the Razzies are all about and she's hysterically funny if you don't stop and think, 'Oh, my God, she could've been vice president!'" gasps Razzie president and founder John Wilson. "Sarah Palin exhibits ineptitude and an indefensible grasping after other people's ideas, calling them her own. Just like Hollywood filmmakers who can't make an original movie. She wants you to put on rose-colored glasses instead of 3-D glasses, but there is still a surcharge you should not pay."

I never thought I would be rooting for Palin to win anything, but you know I think I might have changed my mind.


Go Sarah!
