Melissa McCarthy: Oscar-nominated actress wins a Golden Raspberry for worst performance (for The Happytime Murders and Life of the Party). The Golden Raspberry is awarded to the worst films and worst performances of the year, and are announced one day before the Oscars are awarded.

Previous winners of the this Razzie award have included:
Tom Selleck (for Christopher Columbus: The Discovery), Bill Cosby (for Leonard Part 6), Dwayne Johnson (for Baywatch)... and even Sandra Bullock (for All About Steve)...

Hey, wasn't there a actress one year who won both the Oscar and A Razzie? I guess I could google but that'd take the fun out of it! If I had to guess I'd have to say Sandra Bullock tho..

The last movie I saw was "Pretty In Pink" starring Molly Ringwald. Amazingly, I never saw this movie in the '80's (the halcyon days of my youth, LOL!). I didn't like it as much as I did "Sixteen Candles".

I saw a really good documentary last night on Netflix called "Period. End of Sentence." Apparently, a lot of young women in India drop out of school upon the onset of menarche, because they don't have proper pads, just old rags to use for protection, and they have to walk so far away from the building to dispose of the used rags in a ditch somewhere. Also, it's considered shameful.

Somebody introduces the raw materials and machine needed for actual menstrual pads to be manufactured. This machine created jobs and income for the women in this particular village. They went door to door and sold all of their stock in one day! Most women are too embarrassed to go to the market and purchase pads, hence the wild success of their door to door business.

I know its not an actual movie, but I highly recommend it.

I wonder if Geena Davis was ever nominated for a Razzie based on her performance in "Earth Girls Are Easy"? Now that I think of it, her performance was probably fine, but the movie was awful, LOL!
