For every ying, there is a yang. For every night, there is a day. For every self-important self-congratulatory awards ceremony, there is... the Razzie Awards.

It's good to see Transformers: Age Of Extinction and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles getting so richly rewarded for their utter excrescence. I do feel a bit bad for Charlize Theron, as I thought her performance was probably the best thing about A Million Ways To Die In The West. Also, fun fact, at the time of writing, Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas is officially the worst-rated movie on IMDb (at the very bottom of the Bottom 100).
For 2014, there is a new Award. The Redeemer Award is for the artist whose cinematic accomplishment in 2014 has redeemed their nomination or win on a previous Razzie Awards. The inaugural nominees are: Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Mike Myers, Keanu Reeves, and Kristen Stewart. This one is a public vote and you can vote here.
Next up, I will finally make my mind up (damn you, DGA) and put up my official Oscar Nomination Predictions.
