‘Transformers,’ ‘Lost’ lead Razzies

2/2/2010

LOS ANGELES — “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” made a fortune. “Land of the Lost” tanked. Both films are equal earners at the Razzies, though, grabbing seven nominations each Monday, including worst picture of 2009 and worst-acting slots for Will Ferrell and Megan Fox.

Other worst-picture nominees: Sandra Bullock’s romance “All About Steve,” the action tale “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” and the Robin Williams- John Travolta comedy “Old Dogs.”

Bullock earned a worst- actress nomination for “All About Steve.” She’s expected to score an Academy Award nomination today for her hit drama “The Blind Side.”

“She could be the first person ever to win a Razzie and an Oscar in the same weekend,” said John Wilson, founder of the Golden Raspberry Awards, now in its 30th year of singling out Hollywood’s low points. Winners will be announced March 6, the night before the Oscars.

Razzie voters also are making worst-of-the- decade picks. The worst-picture nominees are Travolta’s “Battlefield Earth,” Tom Green’s “Freddy Got Fingered,” Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s “Gigli,” Lindsay Lohan’s “I Know Who Killed Me” and Madonna’s “Swept Away.”
