Maybe they should expand their worst picture slate to ten like the Oscars. The Golden Raspberry Awards, otherwise known as the Razzies, are traditional presented on the eve of the Oscars. They typically include a random assortment of the broadly worst films and performances of the year. Most of their selections are easy jabs and no real major works that anyone expected to be good are among them. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is probably the best reviewed, most popular of the titles on the list, but it’s still an obvious choice.

I take issue with only one selection. I thought Charlize Theron was doing some fine work in A Million Ways to Die in the West. Her nomination here isn’t a mystery to me as these people have become something of a joke in recent years.
