For the year of 2008, the annual awards for the worst movies of the year, Razzies, may be more competitive than the Oscars, due to the absurd shit to quality ratio we have been forced to endured over the last 12 months. The selection committee have sent out their ballots to selected voters which include the nominations for the worst movies of 2008. Nominees range from George Lucas’ miscarriage “Indiana Jones 4” [ed. ha!], Paris Hilton for any of her on-screen performances and a directorial nod to M. Night Shyamalan for his job phoning in “The Happening” (Shyamalan is most likely convinced the nomination is a typo). This full list of humiliated talent is listed below, we personally think it’s great “Speed Racer” got a nod, see our Worst Films of 2008 piece.
