Cannot say I particularly care for the choices here. That may be because there are a few films I liked, some that are OK, and some that are undeserving of being near the likes of the truly awful ones that did make the list.

I think the Razzies did a etter job of nailing the worst of the worst.
(also, you spelled Avary wrong)

When I consider some of the dreck made this past year, I am shocked so many people think Lady in the Water was the worst of it.

We actually liked the movie, mostly because of Paul Giamatti. I can see where it wouldn't be on the Oscar list, but I didn't think it was BI2 bad, either.

It is ridiculous that these GAG awards nominated Lady In the Water and Not Little Man for Worst Film.

To even remotely think that Little Man is better than Lady in the Water is ridiculous.

AND WHERE IS "DATE MOVIE???"

Sounds GAG is just a bunch of M. Night "Haters" (I didn't love Lady in the Water, but it isn't the Worst Film of 2006).

Funny, Date Movie didn't make the Razzie list either.

"Worst of" awards are SO five minutes ago. How's about some mediocrity awards?

#6 — January 24, 2007 @ 15:57PM — handyguy [URL]

The point of these 'awards,' which I have never heard of before, is surely not to list consensus choices that we will all agree on, but instead to provoke some laughs and comments. For instance, Happy Feet made a lot of best lists, so it's interesting and provocative to nominate it as one of the worst of the year.

I would like to see a few more pretentious 'art films' included...like Little Children or Babel. And X-Men: The Last Stand was pretty damn awful.

"I would like to see a few more pretentious 'art films' included...like Little Children or Babel."

I did actually nominate Babel in the Worst Picture of the Year category, but as you can see it was not chosen...

ed speleers is his first film.......GAG awards are very bad......ed the best!

#9 — February 28, 2008 @ 17:34PM — Alex

Meh at the choice for Ed Speleers. Eragon was his FIRST MOVIE you morons who nominated him! I think he did a good job considering what the expectations were and he was working under big names as well. You try doing all the stuff he did. At least Ed has his name out there. Go Ed Speleers, I'm rooting for ya.
