The Razzie Awards: "The Last Airbender" is the best winner, er, loser
The night before the Academy Awards presents Oscars to the best achievement in films, the 31st annual Razzie Awards celebrated the "Berry Worst Achievement in Film" for 2010
The big "winner" -- so to speak -- at the satirical ceremony presented by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation on Saturday evening at Barnsdall Gallery Theatre was M. Night Shyamalan's critically skewered 3-D fantasy film, "The Last Airbender."
The film took home Razzies for worst picture, worst director, worst screenplay, worst supporting actor for Jackson Rathbone, who also won for "Twilight Saga: Eclipse," and the new Razzie category, worst eye-gouging misuse of 3-D.
The evening's other major loser was "Sex and the City 2," which took home worst actress for all four of its stars -- Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon -- worst sequel and worst screen ensemble honors.
Worst actor went to Ashton Kutcher for two films -- "Killers" and "Valentine's Day" -- and worst supporting actress went to Jessica Alba for four films -- "The Killer Inside Me," "Little Fockers," "Machete" and "Valentine's Day."
Though the Razzie nominees rarely attend the ceremony, Sandra Bullock did show up last year, the night before she won her Oscar for "The Blind Side," to pick up her Razzie for the comedic dud "All About Steve."

I thought Anne Hathaway was smooth and very entertaining. Also felt the ceremony was well-paced and entertaining as well. The opening montage was hysterical.
I'd like to see Best Pic noms back to five. 6 out of 10 noms were completely blanked out last night.
Thought "Barney's Version", Paul Giamatti and "Blue Valentine", Ryan Gossling nominee snubs were ludicrous.
Other than that, the Melissa Leo outfit and acceptance speech notwithstanding, the night went bloody well!

My 7 year old loves The Last Airbender. Since the movie was made for his age bracket, maybe they should have kids his age review it. The movie is visually excellent, it's just trendy lately to diss Shyamalan.

They should give a couple of Razzies to Anne Hathaway and James Franco for their terrible performances as hosts on last night's Academy Awards show. While I hope that those performances weren't career enders, those were performances that only their mothers could love.

I am surprised. I thought Eclipse would win everything. But TLA was definitely beyond terrible. Great insult to fans of the series. Still think Robert Pattinson should had won worst actor. Guy needs to stop trying to act already in my opinion.
