As the ball dropped in Times Square and drunken renditions of "Auld Lang Syne" filled the air, it wasn't just the tip of 2010; it felt like the merciful conclusion to a movie 12 months that often left us rubbing our eyes in disbelief – and never just from a budget 3D effects! Seriously, with 557 flicks unleashed upon unsuspecting audiences, wasn't it inevitable that a hefty chunk can be absolute stinkers? Thankfully, the glorious Golden Raspberry Awards (or Razzies, for these of us who cherish cinematic trainwrecks) exists to shine a highlight on the actually terrible. Forget Oscar buzz; let's speak about the movies that made us groan louder than a rusty hinge!

While the official nominees list wasn't due until late January, the L.A. Times Award Tracker weblog kindly gave us a sneak peek on the potential Razzie royalty. The usual suspects were lining up for dishonour:

• 
  
• 
  

  Worst Picture (The large kahuna of awful)

  
  
  
• 
  

  Worst Director (For visionary... disasters)

  
  
  
• 
  

  Worst Actor/Actress (Performances that defied perception)

  
  
  
• 
  

  Worst Supporting Actor/Actress (Because unhealthy performing loves firm)

  
  
  
• 
  

  Worst Screenplay (Words fail us... however they didn't fail the writers, sadly)

  
  
  
• 
  

  Worst Screen Couple (Less chemistry than a damaged Bunsen burner)

  
  
  
• 
  

  Worst Original Song (Earworms that burrowed straight to your pain middle)

  
  
  
• 
  

  Worst Prequel/Remake/Sequel (Because Hollywood just can't go away well sufficient alone)

  
  
  

But hold onto your 3D glasses! Razzie founder John Wilson, bless his snarky soul, introduced the good new category for the period: Worst Eye-Gouging Misuse of 3D. Talk about a class destined for greatness... or reasonably, spectacular failure! Could anything really capture the sheer, cornea-scraping agony of poorly executed depth? This promised to be a tighter race than a squirrel escaping a pack of toddlers.

Now, the total list of potential nominees across all categories was a hefty 55 movies lengthy. But the actual buzz began with the early Worst Picture contenders. Colour me surprised – where was Furry Vengeance? Did it escape the Razzie radar, or was its brand of ecological slapstick so dangerous it looped back round to... nah, most likely just bad. Interestingly, the Razzie shortlist felt eerily acquainted, mirroring many a critic's private 'Worst of 2010' record. Maybe we all have our fingers on the pulse of pure cinematic pain?

Then there was the curious case of Burlesque. It dodged the Worst Picture bullet, but oh boy, did it rack up nominations elsewhere like it was going out of type:

• 
  
• 
  

  Worst Screenplay: Presumably for dialogue that made seasoned strippers blush?

  
  
  
• 
  

  Worst Director (Steve Antin): For guiding Christina Aguilera's big-display... journey?

  
  
  
• 
  

  Worst Actress (Christina Aguilera): Proving that powerhouse vocals do not guarantee performing chops.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Worst Supporting Actress (Cher & Kristin Bell): Because even icons aren't immune.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Worst Supporting Actor (Cam Gigandet): Adding some brooding to the burlesque.

  
  
  

Talk about spreading the 'love'! Other not-so-shining stars lighting up the supporting classes included:

And then, live-service games the pièce de résistance of awkwardness: Angelina Jolie. Are you able to imagine getting nominated for a Golden Globe (Best Actress) AND a Razzie (Worst Actress) for the same efficiency in The Tourist? That's not just a combined review; that's a full-blown id disaster captured on celluloid! Was her character intentionally bland, or did it just... occur? The world may by no means know.

Back to the shiny new class: Worst Eye-gouging Misuse of 3D. The shortlist teased just three contenders, though surely more deserved this dubious honour:

1. 
   
2. 
   

   Piranha 3D (Presumably for making us flinch at flying fish guts?)

   
   
   
3. 
   

   The Nutcracker 3D (Turning a beloved ballet into a visible assault?)

   
   
   
4. 
   

   Resident Evil: Afterlife (Because zombies leaping out in 3D never gets previous? Right?)

  Why wasn't Furry Vengeance nominated for Worst Picture? Honestly, the Razzies work in mysterious ways! Maybe its sheer audacity was a lot even for them. Or perhaps it was simply overshadowed by bigger, louder flops.

  Did Burlesque really deserve so many nominations? Let's just say Christina's acting debut and Steve Antin's directorial imaginative and prescient left many critics... underwhelmed. The nominations counsel it was a masterclass in something, simply not cinematic excellence.

  How does Angelina Jolie get nominated for Best AND Worst Actress? It's the final word testament to how polarizing a efficiency might be! Some saw enigmatic allure; others saw a stunningly beautiful clean slate. The Tourist itself was just... confusing.

  What different movies deserved the Worst 3D category? Oh, where to start out? 2010 was rife with post-Avatar cash-grabs. Many felt Clash of the Titans' hasty 3D conversion deserved a special Razzie for 'Most Annoying Visual Blur'.

  
  
  

So, as we braced for the official Razzie revelations later in January, one thing was crystal clear: 2010 had given us films we beloved to hate. The ball may need dropped easily in Times Square, but plenty of films that 12 months landed with a spectacular, Razzie-worthy thud. At the least we may chuckle about those cinematic achievements, right? Here's to celebrating the actually terrible! (Razzie statue not included).
