At the Razzies, it's a Bennifer sweep

In a virtual sweep of the awards that "honor" the worst of the very worst in Hollywood -- a sort-of anti-Oscar, the Jennifer Lopez-Ben Affleck mega-flop was accorded the Golden Raspberry on Saturday as worst film of the year.

And in an almost unprecedented wash, "Gigli," the first on-screen collaboration for the couple, whose overhyped engagement went down in flames, mowed down the competition in all the top categories.

We need Mike and the 'Bots back.

Thanks for posting.

If you win and Oscar after winning a Razzie, the Razzie probably goes up in value....

What? No running live thread? ;)

See ya tomorrow night.

The former actress won twin Razzies back in the 90s for her turn as Al Pacino's daughter in "Godfather III." At the time viewers laughed or even applauded when she took a bullet in the chest in the film's climax, then intoned "Dad?" before dropping dead.

It must be nice to be a famous director's daughter. Not only did she get cast in that pivotal role, and ruined the entire movie, but she gets to have a directing career. Anybody else who had single-handedly ruined a movie franchise would be banned from Hollywood for life.

We should have a freeper version of the Razzies, devoted to "awarding" the worst left-wing films and actors.

Sorry, I was resting up for tomorrow night's thread.

Of course it will be live, starting with the red carpet at 6:00.

LOL! I saw that movie in the theater when it was first released. And when she was shot- a guy in the audience yelled out "About Time!" The entire audience burst into laughter.

We sort-of do - the Garafalos.

[Slings and Arrows]

De nada.

[Burkeman1]

Worst Left wing movie ever made? There are two- but they are old and you will never ever see them today. "Mission to Moscow" and "North Star"- both pro Soviet and pro Stalin movies made during WWII in which they present Stalin as a Hero and the terror he waged against his people as justified.

Thanks for the link. Are the Garafalos going to be given out again this year?

Two links, actually; you're welcome; blessed if I know. You may wish to freepmail the folks who passed them out. I'd love to see them as an annual event, too.
