2014 Razzie Award Nominations - Complete List
by Leroy Douresseaux
The 34th Annual Razzie Awards are tonight.
The Golden Raspberry Award or, as it is best known, the Razzie Award, is basically the opposite of the Academy Awards (the Oscars). This award honors the worst achievements in film in a calendar year, as determined by the paid membership of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation.
Unlike the Oscars, BAFTAs, Golden Globes, and other awards, black and African-American performers and filmmakers are well represented in the Razzies. Razzie voters seem to have a particular hatred for Tyler Perry. That is why I often think of the Razzies as nothing more than a hater fest for jealous bitches and envious ho’s. I hear charges of nepotism concerning Will Smith and his son, Jaden, around the movie After Earth. Nepotism in Hollywood: is that a new thing? Really?
The nominations for 34th Annual Razzie Awards were announced weeks ago. The winners of the 2014 Razzie Awards will be announced, Saturday, March 1, 2014, one day before the Academy Awards ceremony (or “Oscar eve”). This is the traditional date for the Razzies, although the 32nd awards ceremony was held on April Fool’s Day.
