Transformers 2, Land of the Lost Stink Up Razzie Nominations
Despite Movieline's best attempts to parse and/or salvage each film, the mega-hit Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and the mega-flop Land of the Lost led the crop of 2009 Razzie Award nominees with a shared total of seven nominations. Even more impressive: Sandra Bullock's achievement as a Worst Actress nominee for All About Steve -- earned the day before she is expected to earn an Oscar nomination for The Blind Side. Quite the achievement! Read on for all of the star's fellow nominees, including the Jonas Brothers, Hugh Hefner and "Taylor Whatz-his-Fang"... as well as the entire Worst-of-the-Decade collection.
Beyond a few noteworthy oversights (none of Gerard Butler's three stinkers, including The Ugly Truth, Gamer, and Law-Abiding Citizen were nominated), you probably might have expected to see most of the titles and performances below on this list. Beyonce's nomination for Obsessed seems a little much, particularly when Katherine Heigl was so roundly reviled in The Ugly Truth, but hey. And where are Transformers 2's ebonics-spouting robots Skids and Mudflap among the Worst Couple nominees, anyway? Perhaps most intriguing overall are the Razzie nominations for the Worst of the '00s, featuring heavyweight Razzie alums Jennifer Lopez, Rob Schneider, Eddie Murphy, Mariah Carey, Lindsay Lohan and more. Truly a who's-who of horrible; winners will be announced March 6 -- the night before the Oscars. Team Sandy!

Comments
How did _The Box_ come away unscathed? That movie was _horrible_.
Battlefield Earth FTW!
Did you guys come up with Trannies Too, or did the Razzies? Because somebody is my new idol!
It took me far too long to realize that "Trannies, Too" meant that stupid transforming robot piece of crap. I even IMDBed the title, in sheer fascination that a movie came out called "Trannies, Too" that I wasn't aware of.
I probably shouldn't have admitted all that. But the delette button is oh so far away.
