Just before the Oscars celebrated the "best" films of 2010, the 31st Annual Golden Raspberry Awards bestowed the honor of the worst. And M. Night Shyamalan's take on a kids'-TV classic took the grand prize.
Shut out of the Oscars, The Last Airbender cleaned up at the Razzies, taking home Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Eye-Gouging Misuse of 3D, beating out other noteworthy contenders like Clash of the Titans, Twilight Saga: Eclipse and The Expendables.
In defending Airbender's pole position as the worst of the worst, Razzie's founder John Wilson had this to say about the film and its director:
"He managed to take a cartoon property and make it even less lifelike by making it with real actors. ... Most people who like the show, and this would include my 14-year-old son, hated the movie. It made no sense whatsoever."
Sometimes, you'd rather just have been nominated.
