Worst Career Achievement (1st since 1987): Uwe Boll (Germany's answer to Ed Wood)

These all seem like excellent nominees though to be fair I have not seen many. It seems like the main competition will be between Uwe Boll-Mike Myers-Friedberg & Seltzer's movies for the bottom prizes. I love (LOVE!) bad movies, but I have never been able to bring myself to see the F&S movies because I have pride. The Love Guru, though it has Justin Timberlake in a speedo, has Jessica Alba. And Mini Me. And Mike Myers being mildly offensive per usual to quickly outweighs the pro. But Uwe Boll seems like the special kind of egotistical man that only comes around (and stays around) once in a blue man, and I have a feeling that with this economy and the return from In the Name of the King (approx. 60 million dollar budget, less than 10% returned) he may not be along for much longer.
