Al Pacino, an actual Oscar winner and once-respected actor, is up for a Razzie. Now that's just sad.

Of course, what do you expect when you've basically been playing a self-parody for the last 10 or 15 years?

I think the Indiana Jones picture was nominated because many viewed it as a pale copy of the great films before it (at least Raiders and Last Crusade).

I've always loved the Indiana Jones franchise, but I was certainly disappointed by the last film. Still, it wasn't so bad that it deserves a Razzie. Those little suckers should only be reserved for the worst of the worst (like Love Guru and those crappy parody films).

I agree that it wasn't as good, but it is still Indiana Jones and doesn't deserve it, like you said. Love Guru was so dumb it was funny at midnight when I was overly tired, but it definitely deserves to win the Razzie!
