Not everything was glitz and polish in Hollywood this weekend…
Oscar Eve ushered in the 35th annual Golden Raspberry Awards—the RAZZIES.
It’s Tinsel Town’s tackiest trophy derby honoring the worst of everything the film industry had to offer during the past year.

And there you have them, the creme de la crap of the past year.
If you paid good money to watch any of the above movies you should be able to declare them as tax deductions—but only if you qualify for the long form.
(On second thought, better run that past your CPA first.)
Dear KC Confidential: I think that the award for “Best Actress” for both the Oscars and the Razzies should go to one of the female talking heads who have been regularly appearing on TV news shows in recent years talking about their “Motherly Concern” for the children killed by the Assad regime. If you know anything about the men and women of the US political class, it is that their children are at the bottom of their list of priorites. We have a joke in DC: Parents in DC always hate the “Cinco De Mayo” holiday because they have to give their Hispanic nannies the day off–and that means relearning the names of their children!! Now, all of this “Motherly Concern” for dead children in Syria is a cynical manipulation of American public opinion to get the US to attack Syria–leading to what these individuals with their totally fraudulent “Motherly Concern” really want: A war between the US and Iran, Syria’s chief ally. As I say, these women did a superb acting job of demonstrating totally fraudulent concern in a most sincere-sounding way, some of them even managed a few tears: This is definitely an acting performance deserving an award!!

aaaand………we have a winner for the “WTF?” comment of the year. And in a stunning upset, it’s not from Harley.
+1
Well, the Academy did not take my suggestion for Best Actress!! Actually, I am glad that they did not–Julianne Moore did a great job of highlighting the most painful realities of Alzheimer’s disease–and that is more constructive than further highlighting the already quite well-established moral depravity of much of the current US political class!!
