- Star Wars: Clone Wars
WORST DIRECTOR

WORST SCREENPLAY

- Doug Taylor, In The Name of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale
- Mike Myers & Graham Gordy, The Love Guru
WORST CAREER ACHIEVEMENT (SPECIAL CATEGORY)
- Uwe Boll (“Germany’s answer to Ed Wood”)
Personally I’m just happy that I didn’t see most of the movies on this list. The Happening caught me off guard, though; if I could get my time and money back for that one, I would. And poor Uwe Boll–The Razzies are really raking him over the coals, creating a special category just to highlight his failures.
On a side note, I’m glad to see that the debacle that was Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull is also getting the recognition it deserves: as a steaming pile of…well, you know.
Do the 2008 Razzie Award Nominations seem about right to you? Let us know.
