RAZZIE 'winners'

While the best movies of the year were getting prestigious awards this weekend at the Oscars, the worst were racking up Razzies…



The 31st annual Golden Raspberry Awards went down, as tradition has it, the night before the Oscars… with The Last Airbender and Sex & The City 2 receiving the most “wins”…

• ‘Worst Picture’: The Last Airbender.


• ‘Worst Actor’: Ashton Kutcher for Killers and Valentine’s Day.


• ‘Worst Actress’: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon for Sex & The City 2.

Skimming through the list of “winners” (a.k.a. losers) of the Razzies reminds me of skimming through the list of movies available on Netflix.

Shyamalan said: “Patel was already one of the guys I was interested in. Then I saw Slumdog Millionaire, and the kid just grew in my eyes”.
