The 2008 Razzie Award nominations have been released, and as expected, two of last year’s environmentally-themed films have made the cut. Not surprisingly, The Day The Earth Stood Still and The Happening are the unfortunate ones. Joining them in the Worst Picture category are such winners as Speed Racer, The Love Guru, Rambo, and Witless Protection.

M. Night Shymalan’s The Happening probably has the most notoreity as being one of last summer’s films I was told to avoid. Choosing to not see a film like The Love Guru was just instinct — especially after seeing just how God-awful the trailer was. The Day The Earth Stood Still is a long shot to win — since I’ve heard reports that it’s also a good mindless action film.

Of course, from these films also comes Razzie nominations for worst actors and actresses. Keanu Reeves, Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Connelly, and Zooey Deschanel are all in the running. Adding insult to injury, Reeves has also been nominated for “Worst Career Achievement”. Ouch.
