Razzies Coming to TV Next Year?
Everyone's favorite 'bad' awards show might be headed to TV for the first time next year.
Boosted by the online response to Sandra Bullock's hilarious Razzie acceptance speech for her Worst Actress win in last year's All About Steve (the night before winning her Oscar, no less), the official Golden Raspberry Award Foundation is now looking for a way to get the entire ceremony honoring the worst in film televised.
According to a press release on their official website, the plan is to air the show when the awards are given out - which is usually the night before the Oscar telecast. They are also developing several other "Razzie-branded properties," although they did not reveal what those properties would be.
I'm not so sure about this plan. Sure, they've gotten stars like Sandra Bullock, Halle Berry, Ben Affleck and Bill Cosby to actually show up and accept the award, but can they guarantee that anyone else in Hollywood is willing to be a good sport about accepting a 'worst'-anything award? That might make it a tough sell to advertisers if they can't get too many celebrities to play along.
Also, in the last few years the Razzies have seemed to be less about honoring the worst and more about just giving an excuse to call out current tabloid fodder or stars just that annoy them. And we already have TMZ doing that job on a nightly basis.
But if they can find a way to make a really funny show that 'honors' some truly bad films that doesn't scare away the people they're trying to honor, it might work.
