Film got 5 razzies including one for worst director; worst actress WENT TO four from sex and city 2

The year’s loudest Razzie went to director M Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender. It won five Razzies to eclipse all other 2010 movies. Organisers of the awards noted the film was based on an animated television show,and some young viewers of the cartoon were unhappy with the movie adaptation.

“When this film opened,for once critics and fans were in agreement: This movie sucks,” John Wilson,founder of the Razzies,said at a presentation of Golden Raspberries.

The Last Airbender,which came out last summer,is a fantasy action movie about a boy with the ability to manipulate natural elements who uses his power to restore harmony to a world divided into warring factions. The film made nearly $320 million at global box offices,but received only a 6 per cent favourable rating at review aggregating website RottenTomatoes.com.

Sarah Jessica Parker,Kim Cattrall,Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis,the four stars of Sex and the City 2,were collectively named worst actress at the Razzies. In the film,the four women bring their Western lives to Abu Dhabi.

“The four women become America’s worst goodwill ambassadors since the My Lai massacre,” Razzie presenter Chip Dornell joked. Unlike last year,when Sandra Bullock showed up to take the Golden Raspberry for her performance in All About Steve,no stars claimed their prizes on Saturday at the Razzies,now in their 31st year.

Razzie performers opened the show with a video segment showing a number of real Hollywood stars declining to host the event. Comedian Paula Poundstone begged off by saying she had a lot going on,as she sat in a rocking chair.

The Razzies also had fun with this year’s Oscar-nominated films. In a spoof of best picture Oscar nominee The King’s Speech,a Razzie presenter wearing a crown feigned a stammer as he read names of worst screenplays. Razzie winners were determined by ballots from 657 voters in US and 17 other countries.
