The 1st Academy Awards ceremony was held Thursday, May 16, 1929, at the Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood to honor outstanding film achievements of 1927 and 1928.

52 years later, The Razzies arrived.

On March 6th, The 29th Golden Raspberry Awards (as in ‘blowing a Raspberry’) will be held to recognize the worst in film. Founded by American copywriter and publicist John J.B. Wilson, the event annually precedes the Academy Award ceremony by one day.

And what a year we had in film! “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” and “Land of the Lost” top the pics for worst movie of the year. They each got seven nominations on Monday, including worst picture of 2009 and worst-acting slots for Will Ferrell and Megan Fox.

Other nominees for worst picture include “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”, “Old Dogs” and “All About Steve” with Sandra Bullock, who is also Oscar nominated for “The Blind Side”. If she wins both, she will be the first in history to do so.

As happy as I am to see ‘Land of the Lost’ nominated, the fact that both Miley Cyrus (as worst actress) and her dad Billy Ray, (as worst supporting actor) for “Hannah Montana: The Movie” made me LOL!

Unlike the Oscars, the Razzies are voted on by paid members. For as little as $25.00 a year, anyone can have the bragging rights of being a voting member. To be on the Oscar committee, you have to win and Oscar. This sounds like a lot more fun!

I may join, just to get my licks in on Will Ferrell and company for once again ruining Land of the Lost!
