Apparently yesterday a long version of Razzie nominees leaked onto the internets. Traditionally, the nominees for the worst performances and films are announced the day before the Oscar nominations and the winners are picked the day before the Oscars. Here are the nominees so far as found on MTV Movies Blog (movies in bold are the ones I have seen):

Worst Career Achievement: Uwe Boll, Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer, Madonna, Keanu Reeves, Sylvester Stallone

I have to say that these nominations are pretty spectacular. I usually try and block out Uwe Boll's and the Disaster-type movies as soon as they come out, but I am happy to be reminded of them on this list. I'm happy to see Keanu and Will Ferrell recognized for their work because those two were some horrible movies, though to be fair it was Keanu's dream role. It's nice to see The Women, The Happening and High School Musical honored, though I am surprised that Cloverfield wasn't nominated in some way. My only negative is that What Happens in Vegas should have more nominations because that movie looked like (solely based on the trailer and poster mind you) everything I hate about movies. I think it's a strong list and I'm excited to see the actual nominees announced in a couple of weeks!
