Justice, yay. Although I'll be pissed if they pick Dev over Jackson for worst supporting actor. He was the only thing about the movie that didn't make me want to light my own hair on fire, omg.

Sidenote: I don't think it's really appropriate for them to put kids under the age of 15 or so in the worst acting categories. Even if it's true. (How old was Nicola when the movie was filmed?) Most kid actors suck anyway, there's no need to single any of them out.

I agree on both accounts.

cactus_u January 24 2011, 21:36:25 UTC

Agreed on both as well. Hopefully Jackson wins over Dev, double whammy.

I remember seeing on the website, a lot of the rationale for people nominating Dev is because he's an okay actor (which is another round of WTF from me, he's more than just "okay" thanks) and he agreed to be in this film. Then they pulled some comparison to Sandra Bullock and how she won a razzie not for being a bad actress but for being the lead actress and appearing in such a bad film. I don't even know anymore.

ALSO: agreed with your sidenote. I also think that putting first-timers up for razzies is in bad taste because they might be really good, just nervous or have a horrible director, and what about benefit of the doubt?

Mmmm, I see Failbender is going to win a lot of awards it so badly deserves. Maybe even beating Twilight for some! Wow, I never though I'd type those words.

When the movie was still in production and I was so-so "wait and see" the only saving grace in my mind was "At least it will be better than twilight..."

AHAHAHAHA I know right. So much for that.

I feel like punching something. Did they ever release an Uncanny Valley Appa toy? I'd love to punch that in the face. :|

i'll be perfectly honest, i actually enjoyed the first couple of twilight movies (haven't gotten around to renting eclipse yet) better than TLA. twilight sucks but the movies actually managed to be MORE tolerable than the books because you don't have to listen to stephenie meyer's purple prose. TLA took something that could've been great and just shat all over it, which makes it a lot harder to watch for me.

EXCELLENT

Jack Blacks nominated? D= Aw...

IDK man, it has some stiff competition with Twilight. But hey, SURELY that makes Rathbone a shoo-in?

demonoflight January 24 2011, 22:45:16 UTC

It's actually sad he's unlikely to win, you know he would've gotten on that stage and delivered the most beautiful speech.

kurenai_tenka January 24 2011, 22:47:19 UTC

Haha, true! Grabbing glory from defeat. ;)

glass_sylph January 24 2011, 22:41:47 UTC

Personally, I don't think Dev should be up there at all. Jackson? Yes. Dev? No way in hell

(And the hell? The 3D in SAW 3-D was actually pretty fucking good from what I remember, so I have no idea why it was up there.)
