IT'S POSSIBLE NICOLAS CAGE MIGHT SHOW UP TO ACCEPT IN PERSON: While we wait for The Artist to inevitably clean up tomorrow night, let's take note of the Razzie award nominations for 2011, which include 12 nominations for Jack and Jill, giving Adam Sandler 3 of his 4 nominations (actor, actress, and screenplay--the fourth is another screenplay nomination for his contributions to Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star). Nick Swardson scores the rare ignominy of being nominated as both worst actor (for Bucky Larson) and worst supporting actor (for Jack and Jill and Just Go With It), and they can't even bring themselves to refer to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley by name, simply calling her "The Underwear Model," which is an apt summary of her part. Anyone they missed?

    Nothing comes to mind off hand that they especially missed, but sadly I don't see anyone with the sense of humor Sandra Bullock and Halle Berry had to show up and take their medicine.

    Whoops, except of course for Julia Roberts as the worst impersonation of a teacher.

    I think Cars 2 should have gotten a Worst Sequel etc. nomination, just as a warning to Pixar.

    I didn't and won't see Transformers, but if "the underwear model" is an apt summary of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's part, can't I assume that she played it well?

    The Wiki article says she's playing a *snort* curator.

  6. Of a car museum.  Her introduction is a loving pan of her ass (in underwear) as she walks up a flight of stairs.

    (Aw, Matt has to be kidding, it can't be that bad)

    Sweet Zombie Jesus, that's pervy.

    Sounds to me like a criticism of the writing and directing, not of the acting.

    Alas, Matt is not kidding.

  10. This is a valid point.  Rosie does exactly what the script calls of her (look pretty and distressed, and be a sex object) quite well.
