ADAM SANDLER EARNS 11 RAZZIE AWARD NOMINATIONS

Adam Sandler made history by earning a record 11 Razzie Award nominations in the categories of actor, writer and producer. We must agree that Adam Sandler did not give a stellar performance in Jack and Jill like Eddie Murphy did playing multiple roles in the “Nutty Professor”.

In a dubious achievement, Adam Sandler broke all records Saturday evening, earning 11 Razzie nominations for his various work as an actor, a writer and a producer on three 2011 movies: “Jack and Jill,” “Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star” and “Just Go With It.”
The nominations for the 32nd annual Razzie Awards, honoring the worst accomplishments in film, were announced on the eve of the Academy Awards. The Razzies have traditionally been presented the day before the Oscars, but co-owners John Wilson and Mo Murphy have moved the ceremony this year to April Fool’s Day to give the Razzie voters “additional time to see the dreck” before casting their ballots.
Sandler’s gender-bender comedy “Jack and Jill” — in which he portrays both title roles — earned 12 nominations, including worst film, actor and actress for Sandler, supporting actress for Katie Holmes and supporting actor for Al Pacino (yes, you read that correctly).
Rounding out the worst film nominees are “Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star,” which Sandler co-wrote; “New Year’s Eve”; “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”; and “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1.”
Sandler earned a second worst actor nomination for “Just Go With It” and will compete against Russell Brand for “Arthur,” Nicolas Cage for three films — “Drive Angry 3-D,” “Season of the Witch” and “Trespass” — Taylor Lautner for “Abduction” and “Breaking Dawn,” and Nick Swardson for “Bucky Larson.”
It was a good year (or perhaps a very bad one) for men in drag at the movies. In addition to Sandler, a few other actors earned nominations in the actress categories. David Spade is up for worst supporting actress as Monica in “Jack and Jill,” while Martin Lawrence is nominated for worst actress in “Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son,” and Brandon T. Jackson from that film is in contention for supporting actress. [via]
