Oscars, Golden Globes, Palmes d'Or, Golden Lions, and other kinds of weird golden animals are designed to praise the movie industry. Amen.

Since 1980 and the publication of the Golden Turkey Awards, a book by film critics Michael and Haryy Medven about the worst movie ever made, there is a new trend of awards ceremonies: awarding the loosers.

Created the same year by John Wilson, the Golden Raspberry Awards (a.k.a. The Razzies) were made to dishonor the worst acting, screenwriting, songwriting, directing and films made during the past year. Its ceremony is scheduled for March 4th, just before the Oscars.

This year Razzies' selection includes shit like Son of the Mask with 8 nominations, The Dukes Of Hazzard with 7 nominations, and of course Dirty love with 6 nominations. Never heard of Dirty Love? That's not surprising! The movie, which was released last September barely made $58,000 at the box office. Not even the cost of the premiere party!

A new thing this year, the award of the Most Tiresome Tabloid Target. Tom Cruise deserves it! You didn't click on the Tom Cruise link? You should, it's hilarious. Here is another link, just in case you missed the first.

At least with these awards there is true competition, nobody knows the winner before they are announced at the ceremony. Just for the record, last year Catwoman did great, winning the award for the worst picture, worst director, worst screenplay and worst actress Halle Berry.

How can the public not be tired of being screwed when two cinema tickets are more expensive than a Dvd?
