Boston, The Academy Awards and The Razzies

Today was the announcement, The 82nd Academy Awards nominations, and (shocker!) none of the Boston-based movies were in there this year. That's fair. Not every year produces a "Good Will Hunting". Just a reminder, the eligible crop from Boston this year was:

The Box

Bride Wars

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

The Invention of Lying

The Maiden Heist (though we're not sure if straight-to-video's are eligible)

Paul Blart, Mall Cop

Pink Panther 2

The Proposal

Surrogates

Conversely, some locally made films picked up 2009 Razzie Award nominations (if you've never heard of this award, it's the Oscars' evil little brother for Worst Films... Google it.). And the nominees are:

"Worst Actor - Steve Martin, Pink Panther 2"

"Worst Supporting Actress - Candace Bergen, Bride Wars"

"Worst Prequel, Sequel, Remake Or Rip-Off - Pink Panther 2"

and, new category, local guy Ben Affleck was nominated for "Worst Actor of the Decade"... though we think he will have a tough time beating out Rob Schneider for that title.

To all the nominees... Good luck?
