Razzies for a Dull Oscar Year

The Razzies, a LA-based spoof on the Oscars, were recently announced. The BBC story linked here has some details. The big loser was The Last Airbender, M. Night Shyalaman's 3-D picture, although the dreadful Sex and the City sequel was deservedly cited for a number of "awards." (Remember all the hype around Memorial Day fawning over the Fab Four and their outfits? Ah, how quickly one forgets. Even Derek Jeter has put some distance between himself and the actress who played the Carrie Bradshaw character.)

My wife and I saw portions of The Last Airbender at a drive-in. It was an odd situation, as our car's location, on an embankment, provided sight lines for three movies. They ironically included (a) the Oscar-nominated Inception, (b) a bad animated picture for which we had sound, (c) the Shyalaman movie. I tried to watch all three movies to get the gist of them, but ended up wishing I could simply look up and enjoy a summer's night sky.
