Razzie Nominations! The Worst of the Year

Source: http://www.razzies.com/default.asp

I have not seen the vast majority of these so I will only comment on those that I have.

Worst Actor:
----------------
Tom Cruise certainly wasn't good in War of the Worlds, but I doubt it was actually one of the five worst performances of the year. Am I defending Tom Cruise, who I do not like in the slightest?

Most Tiresome Tabloid Targets
-----------------------------
I hope Tom Cruise wins this for his anti-psychology rant (see, now I am *not* defending him). However I am wondering why Angelina and Brad were not nominated here. *I*, for one, certainly find all the stories about them tiresome.

Worst Supporting Actor
-----------------------------
If they are going to pick someone from Star Wars for this, couldn't they have given a special voice-acting nomination to James Earl Jones for his awful "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" at the end of the movie?

Worst Supporitng Actress
-----------------------------
While Katie Holmes was easily the weakest link in Batman Begins, I'd hardly say she is worst of the year material. Besides, that was a great movie.

Other Commentary
-----------------------------
Wouldn't it be nice if the Razzies included a most overrated movies category?

Hint (Note that I am predicting all of these movies get Oscar Nominations):

Cinderella Man
Memoirs of a Geisha
Mrs. Henderson Presents
North Country
Transamerica

My vote goes to Cinderella Man.

I rather think all the tabloid/star stuff is tedious. I dont really care what they are doing, who they are doing it with, or why. So I heartily agree with you and the razzies. It's all bad.
