Razzies: Of course “The Last Airbender” won big. We mean, really.

The big Razzie superstar: M. Night Shyamalan kept up with his track record of producing reliable Razzie “winners” and scored five trophies last night, including “Worst Picture,” for his widely-criticized live-action version of “The Last Airbender,” a popular Nickelodeon toon. Beyond the usual crapfest that might follow a film like this, it wins a little extra because the characters are largely Asian but the lead actors chosen to play them were mostly white – a decision made all the stranger because Shyamalan is Asian himself. source

She is the 21st century Zsa Zsa Gabor. She is famous for who she hangs out with. She’s not famous for any talent she has yet exhibited. She may end up working with Uwe Boll. She could be the head vampire in ‘Bloodrayne 3.’

Uwe Boll, please stop. The much-maligned director received five nominations for his crapsterpiece “In the Name of the King,” four of them he earned on his own. Raspberries curator John Wilson noted that Boll is the gift that keeps on, um, giving. “He was the overwhelming choice to receive our career achievement award,” Wilson said.
Stupid twist of fate M. Night Shyamalan had one good movie with a twist, “The Sixth Sense.” Then he just kept making movies with twists, and the twists (and the movies) got worse and worse. He got four nominations for “The Happening,” a flick with a twist involving plants being the villain. Great. Because that’s totally a great idea for a movie.
No love lost on ParisParis Hilton, much like Boll and Shyamalan, is a regular target of Razzie hate, and she got a bunch of it for her “wonderful” film “The Hottie and the Nottie” (which got two noms) and the cameo in the film “Repo! The Genetic Opera” (which also got a nom; they leave no bad-film stone unturned, do they?). source

Many people suggested his own search for inner truth led him to make this movie but somewhere along the line he forgot it was supposed to be a comedy.
