Movie-making is an entertainment-for-profit industry, enjoyable for what it is, but completely undeserving of being placed upon a pedestal for worshipping or taken so seriously. Anything that takes the piss out of it from time to time (think Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes) is okay with me.

Sorry, Decker ...

If you think the Oscars aren't important, that's fine. Feel free to ignore them. But for movie-making and for the industry itself, they absolutely are. That's not really debatable.

And if you think the Razzies are garbage - then feel free to ignore it as well.
I think they exist to entertain - basically a spoof on the Oscars... even if I don't necessarily find them entertaining myself.

The Oscars are important for the movie-making industry, but as a viewer of films - I don't find much value in what they offer.
It's a circle-jerk of self-important people thinking their opinion is important to the rest of us. They're not.

That’s fair.

The razzies are long past the point where they're taking the piss out of movies. Or even entertaining. There was a time when it was more or less in good fun and it was even better when some of the winners played along. Now it's just a weird and mean spirited exercise in "look at me". It's completely pointless. You might say the same about the Oscars, but they're at least important to someone. I'm not sure the razzies even meet that criteria.

The Razzies... aren't relevant anymore. There's already enough snark on the internet, and there's really no point in them anymore. You only ever really hear about them whenever they do something like this or the Bruce Willis thing. Nobody cares. The original mandate of the Razzies seemed to be to poke fun at bad, overwrought, or over-hyped mainstream movies and the actors who made them. These days there's just such a general blandness to everything Hollywood does that they end up nominating the little girl in that Firestarter remake that barely made a blip anywhere.

The Oscars... the one night every year where Hollywood puts on tuxedos and fancy dresses, borrowed bling-bling, and walks down a red carpet to a big circle jerk and gives itself a four hour handjob on live tv that lasts so long the eleven o'clock local news is delayed.

I used to think this but then I learned about “Awards Season” and realized it’s not the one night of the year. They’ve been dressing up for months going from awards show to awards show jerking each other off. Granted the other shows aren’t live on national tv, but still…

Someone like Meryl Streep probably has an entire room, literally filled from floor to ceiling with awards. It’s almost comical how many awards they hand out in Hollywood.

The guy at the deli made me the best sandwich yesterday. I am going back today to give him a trophy.

Worst film for me was Thor:Love & Thunder,surprised it wasn't on the list.

Don't forget the film festivals, a nearly continuous stream of opportunities where they can all dress up and give that circle-jerkoffery a series of test runs, particularly in the last third of the year when the fest circuit dovetails with the award ceremonies.
