   Uhm. Adam? Gosh. How do I say this? You’re a swell guy and all. We’re thrilled to the gills that we’re partnered up with you and the After Dark Festival next October. I love your enthusiasm. But… we… uh… already posted the Oscar noms a couple posts back. Yep. Going to have a big ass Oscar Pool for all the writers and our readers to enter. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Just saying… because… well. You went through so much trouble to write them all out here on this post. And I see you did this very late at night too. You went through all this trouble and you didn’t have to. But wow, look at your enthusiasm. lol

   Isn’t that the point of the Razzies? There are way too many bad performances/movies out there to consider all of them. The point is to poke fun at the mainstream. Nobody would care about this at all if they didn’t know who the nominees where. I don’t want to see no-names get “razzed”. I want to make fun of the people with the egos and the following they don’t deserve.

   Aww geez Mack, and Twitchers.... I was using a news feeder that misssed off the Oscar Post for some reason! Sorree… anyway, I agree the Razzies are a lot more fun. They knock these A-listers back down to size. Gotta hand it to Halle the other year for turning up to pick hers up (Catwoman) and slagging off her agent. Real Class.

   Why aren’t there Razzies for Worst Foreign Picture? Come on… ‘tis the age of globalization.

   What I’m wondering is where’s the 50 Cent movie on this list?

   Oh sweet! someone else notices that Katie Holmes has the talent of a road sign!

   If Jessica Alba doesn’t win it’s a friggin’ miscarriage of justice. And how no Paul Walker? He was at least as bad in Into The Blue as she was.
