I'm not sure if you mean the actor that played the character that ultimately (spoiler alert!) WASN'T God, but I'm pretty sure that God Himself had no part in the making of that abomination. In fact, Star Trek V has been known to centerpiece the argument amongst atheists that God cannot possibly exist, else he would certainly have shielded us all from its sheer awfulness. This is the one film that I would actually WELCOME Spielberg and Lucas to go to town on. Slash it, burn it, add flying monkeys and space squirrels, make Spock shoot first, do whatever you have to do, but just please ERASE THIS MOVIE FROM EXISTENCE!!!
Couldn't disagree more. I remember that day and W. kept calm and collected and finished what he was doing before leaving to take care of the situation. Better than to have run screaming from the room.
Agree with clr. Maybe some who are convinced wrongly that I'm a biased flaming liberal will be surprised by this. But the criticism for Bush on this point was just one of many dumb things about F911.
Fahrenheit 9/11 got nominated multiple times that year, and while I agree it was a horrible "documentary," it's hard to fathom the rationale behind nominated George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, and Britney Spears for "acting" in it. I guess because Bush did not make a very convincing president? I know I'd have trouble suspending disbelief if he wasn't actually elected once. Though, personally, I had no issue with how he reacted on the morning of 9/11. I just wish he had done more *before* 9/11 to prevent it, and then acted more intelligently after 9/11. The day of? He did fine.
Also, I don't care what anyone says, Leonard Part 6 was great. And actually, I thought Cosby acted pretty well in it. I mean if you ignore him jumping around in ballet slippers... the parts where he is interacting with his estranged wife and daughter are not badly acted.
I always thought the Postman was a pretty good movie. Kevin Costner plays his usual boy scout self, and Will Patton makes an awesome, but slightly sympathetic, bad guy.
I must be one of 5 people who remember "The Legend of the Lone Ranger." I always remembered the over-the-top performance and the bad costuming and hair. Oddly, it was the villain, Christopher Lloyd, who went on to have a better career than the hero, Klinton Spillsbury.
For the ones I didn't get, either I never heard of the movie or I never heard of the actor. But one I did get, because I just read about it a few weeks ago... Inchon! I was so tickled when that one came up correct!
I'd never heard of Saving Christmas before... so I looked up the trailer... wow that looks AWFUL. Maybe as bad as God's Not Dead or Left Behind (for which Sorbo and Cage really got snubber by the Razzies!!)
I can't tell what they're saying about it, because the news is in Turkish, but right now it looks like they're talking about the Razzies. Just saw clips of Saving Christmas, Cameron Diaz in something, Transformers, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I KNOW, right? I mean, for sure 1997 had some stiff competition in the form of the double threat of Tom Arnold and Pauly Shore... but... Cage's work in Con Air not getting a Razzy? That's like Citizen Kane being overlooked by Oscar.
"Put...the bunny...down." What are you TALKING about? That is about as iconic as a single movie line can get. It's right up there with "Rosebud" and "Frankly Scarlet, I don't give a damn." Cage was at his absolute best in Con Air. Razzie? Bah...should have won an Oscar.
I submit that Nicolas Cage is not a bad actor at all. In fact, what makes him hirable is that he gives 100% to every role, no matter how stupid. Most serious actors would wink at the audience a little, but not Cage. He's a true professional forced to do a lot of bad movies to pay off his crushing debts.
There is a very funny episode of 'Community' that takes on the issue of whether Nicolas Cage is a good actor or not. Ahmed, who is a major film buff, locks himself in his room and watches every Nicolas Cage film over and over, trying to work out if he is a genius or a hack. In the process he nearly drives himself insane. Eventually someone(I can't remember which character) saves Ahmed by explaining that you just have to accept that there is no definitive answer. Cage has done some brilliant acting roles, whilst others have been truly awful.
How did Brendan Fraser miss out? I used to automatically know as soon as his face popped on screen that I would be laughing at the movie not with it. Unless of course when it was trying to be funny.
Bush's performance as president was horrible. So horrible in fact that the next president won a Nobel Peace Prize essentially for not being Bush. "Way to not be that guy! Here's a shiny medal and a million bucks. Congratulations to you and congratulations to the rest of the world."
Everything in Hollywood is agenda driven. Giving Cameron a Razzie for bad Christmas movie is proof. The majority of Christmas movies are cheesy and/or bad but Hollywood had to do their little dig at the openly Christian actor who turned his back on them. And then a worst actor for a documentary because it dares to say something negative about the DNC? Since when do documentaries get acting credit? Unfortunately, Hollywood has turned even something fun like the Razzies into unwatchable. For entertainers, they really do suck at entertaining.
EVERYthing? Some things, sure. But everything? That's paranoid fantasy with delusions of persecution. Making any defense of Cameron, who gave an objectively terrible performance in an objectively terrible movie (and part of why it was terrible was it's blatant and bizarre agenda so-on-the-nose-Cameron-actually-sits-the-audience-down-to-break-the-4th-wall-and-lecture-them.... literally...), is "proof."
Saving Christmas is possibly the worst movie I have seen in my entire life. I watched it out of curiosity, and it is somehow worse than the reviews make it out to be. The problem with it, as with many religious films, is that it is more interested in bludgeoning you to death with its religious message than with telling an interesting story. It's just so ham-fisted and slapdash. It wasn't even "so bad, it's good." It was just a really uncomfortable experience -- and not because of the religious angle. Everything about it was just impossibly inept and suffocating. I certainly won't dispute that Hollywood gets carried away with its tone-deaf political stances, but Saving Christmas absolutely deserved every bit of scorn it got. I should add that its message is appalling from either a religious or secular perspective. It tries to make the case that the commercialism corrupting Christmas is really a good thing. Preposterous.
Don't be. He's laughing all the way to the bank. As much as people rag on his movies, they usually sell extremely well and he's made immense amounts of money in his career. He's paid better than most of the people who win Oscars.
The sad thing is that the movies he’s in where he’s actually good don’t do very well at the box office, so that’s why we’re stuck with all those stupid slapstick comedies.
On the other hand, Uncut Gems did pretty well at the box office and Sandler's performance was considered perhaps the best of his career, so maybe people are starting to look for a change.
There should be a special category of bad for Tom Green, Pauly Shore, and Rob Schneider. Truly awful "performances" in anything and everything they've ever done. Way beyond giving a ding to, say, Bruce Willis for cashing a paycheck (or three) in a time of need.
I'll give Schneider credit for a few minutes grand total as second banana, Shore none except in his post-career making fun of himself. Tom Green, however? Just a spastic cretin. Playing piano with steaks hanging from his ears sums it up.
Jim Carrey is immensely talented. His schtick is definitely not for everyone, but not a lot of people can pull off physical comedy the way he does. And his dramatic performances, particularly Man on the Moon, Truman Show, and Eternal Sunshine are really, really good. That he was not nominated for even one of them speaks to the Oscars' bias against "goofy" comedic actors.
William Shatner, what a legend! Sometimes T.J. Hooker is on at 2:30 in the morning here and I love watching it. It's so bad it's good. The writing is terrible, the plots and the characters are paper thin, and Shatner is at his wooden best. Awesome stuff!
He should have done more comedy. He was excellent in Airplane 2.
The Razzies have always been the nerdy, unsuccessful hangers on in Hollywood waiting for big name successes to have a box office flop. Then they give the award despite thousands of other worse acting jobs that year. It's usually petty jealousy.
According to Wikipedia, the answer for 2019 (the 39th Razzies, for 2018 movies), should be Donald Trump, with Travolta being the answer for 2020 (for 2019 movies).
This has been fixed. In the end, I've decided to de-feature this quiz. For a variety of reasons. For one, I don't want to update it every year. Secondly. the answers are too obscure. And finally, it's too political. It would be like featuring a quiz about Fox News.
closer to featuring a quiz about the Academy Awards (which are just as political as the razzies). Also anyone who thinks that Fox News is somehow controversial or that criticisms of them are politically motivated and not based in observable fact is probably, themselves, ignorant on the subject. This would be similar to identifying Joseph Goebbels as minister of propaganda on a quiz, then thinking "oh no, that's gonna be a political hot potato, don't want to offend any Neo Nazis in the crowd who think I'm not being neutral, better just take him off" .... the damage that has been done in recent years to things like truth, fact, and objective reality is very worrying. If the forces at work that so damaged these concepts continue to get their way, very soon *everything* will be deemed controversial and political. That's exactly what they want. "You have your facts, and we have alternative facts." Better men wouldn't give in to this madness.
Possibly the worst acting in the world was in the movie, The Singularity. The actors were HORRIBLE. Also, literally every line was the hardest to believe.
And why did they give the price to George W. Bush? He's not an actor!
Uh.... yes you do, Bones! More so than ANYBODY else in the entire Universe!

Johnny, you can stick to drama, you're okay at it.
Jim, you were an unfunny scene hog token on In Living Color. Your success there has baffled me for almost 30 years.
He should have done more comedy. He was excellent in Airplane 2.
