LOS ANGELES — Bad sequels and remakes tortured movie audiences last year, and they provided a smorgasbord for the Razzies, an Academy Awards spoof that pays heed to the worst in Hollywood.

Four of the five worst-picture nominees for the Razzies were sequels or remakes, led by "Son of the Mask," which had eight nominations Monday, including worst actor for Jamie Kennedy and supporting actor for Alan Cumming and Bob Hoskins.

Since the Oscar nominations arrive tomorrow and alledgedly honor the best films, why not pay some attention to the worst as well?

They should have a category for the most politically correct film that causes hollywierd to drool on itself. I nominate Brokeback Mountain.

Silly me, I thought the Razzies and the Oscars were the same thing.

I think I'd rather watch "Son of the Mask" than "Brokeback Mountain" anyway. And that's just sad.

I think Revenge of the Sith deserved a full sweep. Christiansen is undeniably horrible, but so was the rest of the movie.

(Really, she just DIES? Just 'doesn't want to live?' Doesn't care about the babies, because her whiny boyfriend is supposedly dead? Oh, PUH-LEEEzzZZZZzz.....)
