Adam Sandler Sets Razzie Record With Most Nominations Ever!
Last night, Adam Sandler appeared in a few Oscar montages about the love of drama and film. If you didn’t know who he was, it was actually a very touching view on what sparked his love of film, and what he wanted and hoped his career would be. If you do know him, it just came off as ironic, especially with the current news that he has set the record for most Razzie nominations in a year.
The 32nd Annual Razzie Awards released their nominees today, and Sandler was nominated a record-setting eleven times, more than double Eddie Murphy’s old record!
The nominees weren’t limited to just Worst Actor and Worst Actress for JACK AND JILL. His other films, BUCKY LARSON and JUST GO WITH IT were nominated several times, and being a producer, that adds just a few more to the count!
For the record, I still think Sandler has it in him to be a great actor. He has proven it before in PUNCH DRUNK LOVE and SPANGLISH. He just needs to step away from the paycheck films and get back to something that pushes the envelope a little more.
In the meantime as we wait, check out all the Razzie nominees below. Winners will be announced on Sunday, April 1st – April Fool’s Day.
