Battle Cry

In light of the recent publication of the Razzie Awards nominees, I thought it would only be fitting if my next post included some mention of it. That said, I didn't believe there was much justice done to the this year nominated films, who count among them Snow White And The Huntsman (Sanders, 2012) and the remake Total Recall (Wiseman, 2012).
Considering what these awards represent, I reflected on what they must mean to those who are in favour of "winning". After all, the Razzie Award is married to the little horrid word "worst":
Worst actor, worst actress, worst director, worst screenplay and so on.
Worst Bla Bla Bla.
No matter how idiotic I find some films (I particularly detest all those American pictures that knowingly defecate on cinema as a form of veneration, not to mention human intelligence), is it really necessary to give the people who created them an award for their performance? To record for all time that he or she won the prize for being "worst" of the year?

I think not.
Making a film, any kind of film, is no bloody picnic.

Besides, in previous years some truly talented actors and actresses have been nominated for/have received these derogatory awards. Angelina Jolie (whom I admire very much as a woman and as an actress) is one of them, inexplicably.

Here is my battle cry:
