It’s the most wonderful time of the year for Hollywood; awards season is in full effect.  Thankfully, if you need an antidote for the back-patting and attaboys, consider checking out the 2011 Razzie Awards, which honor the worst crimes against cinema of the year 2010.  Here’s the best of the worst of 2010 in the form of the 2011 Golden Raspberry Awards, AKA the Razzies.  The Razzies will be handed out, in a sense, on February 26 at Hollywood’s Barnsdall Gallery Theatre.

That’s the night before the Oscars, and in a sense, that’s what the Razzies are all about.  Hollywood loves to celebrate its best and brightest and conveniently ignores the huge amount of garbage and awfulness that rolls onto screens around the world year in and year out.  That’s why I love the Razzies, it’s a thumbed nose in the general direction of Hollywood‘s self-congratulation industry.

Among the noteworthy nominees are M. Night Shyamalan’s 3-D turd The Last Airbender and the mopey teens of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.  A much-needed new award was added this year in the form of the Worst Eye-Gouging Mis-Use of 3-D.  I love a good hate-fest, and I love the Razzies.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
