The nominees for this year's Razzies have been announced. Madonna didn't have a movie out, so that left sort of a bad movie void...thankfully Lindsay Lohan was there to fill it. Her goofy thriller I Know Who Killed Me got 9 nominations, including two for Lindsay for Worst Actress (she played a split personality chick so they nominated her twice - aren't they clever?). Eddie Murphy's Norbit was also nominated numerous times as was I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, a movie I didn't bother seeing because I knew right away it was nothing but a bunch of stale old gay jokes and who the hell needs to sit through a thing like that?

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End was way worse than anything. Long, tedious, too much plot, actors who clearly didn't give a shit anymore. I Know Who Killed Me was not nearly as bad...it had an ambition to be something (an homage to Dario Argento and Brian De Palma movies from the '70s basically) but the director just didn't have the chops to pull it off. And Lohan wasn't that horrible in it. She did the best she could with it and was actually rather charming at times. The movie at least wasn't lazy. If you're going to rip stuff, Razzies, rip stuff where the people involved were obviously only in it for the money.
