Uwe Boll Nominated For Awards

image

Controversial and outspoken German director Uwe Boll, famed for his relentless dedication to making awful videogame movies, has been nominated for no less than three awards. Don't worry though, it's not the harbinger of the end of days, as the awards he's been nominated for are the Razzies.

The Razzies, more properly know as the Golden Raspberry Awards, are a tongue-in-cheek counterpoint to the Oscars and are awarded to the worst actors, directors and movies of the year. Previous winners have included M. Night Shyamalan, Eddie Murphy, Lindsey Lohan and Halle Berry, who famously accepted her award for her performance in Catwoman at the 2004 ceremony.

Boll's adaptation of Gas Powered Games Dungeon Siege has been nominated in the 'Worst Picture' category and Boll himself has been nominated for 'Worst Director' and the special 'Worst Career Achievement' award.

But Boll faces stiff opposition from such luminaries, or whatever the opposite of luminaries is, as Keanu Reeves, Sylvester Stallone and M.Night Shyamalan...again.

Personally, I wish Boll the very best of luck.

If Uwe Boll doesn't win this then it's only because not enough gamers voted.

Good luck to the guy he really does deserve it, I like the Razzies but its frustrating when every year the news networks think it's funny to do another story trying to explain what they are. The guy in charge must get so fed up in having to explain what his award ceremony is to the same media outlets every year.

I think it's great that the industry is recognising those hard working awful directors. Anyone can make a bad movie, but it takes talent and dedication to make an awful film. Congratulations!

Maybe now he will take the hint to make a game/movie that is actually decent.

*wipes away tears* He deserves every single one of those awards. I can already imagine him on stage: I would like to thank... myself, I dedicated many years of my life for this "work"

Since when did Hard work become letting your 3 year old nephew use MS Paint and let A deaf person do the voice acting?

Not gonna happen. Halo's been in production hell for too long. The Warcraft movie, on the other hand, is possibly being directed by Christopher Nolan... THAT will be the first good video game movie.

More on topic, Uwe Boll deserves every award in there. A clean sweep... seriously. Who agrees?

The very best of luck to Mr. Boll. It's about time he got publically called on his crap ;D

It's funny, I was at a friend's house, and we were watching some movie called "In the name of the king" because nothing else was on. Besides the fact that they cast Jason Statham to be the hero in a LotR knockoff, I noticed something was very wrong. I couldn't put my finger on it, but something was very awry. When the credits rolled (we only watched the last half-hour or so), the first thing to come up was "An Uwe Boll Film". My first thought literally was "Oh...that explains it", followed by mental laughing.

The only thing this guy should be nominated for is a ban from ever making a film ever again

Uwe Boll plays no games or makes them.

I don't think he will go on stage to get his price. Only a handfull of people did that.

How can Uwe Boll not win this? I mean, I actually started to watch that zombie film of his, but I couldn't see it through... Not even halfway. I think Uwe is the obvious winn... Err.. Loser here.

He said if the petition gets 1 million signs he will stop making movies (if I remember correctly).

I can safely say that I've always been smart enough not to watch any of his movies. This award confirms that I still don't want to see any of his movies.

Gloominaries? Doom Canaries? Flume Fairies? Grues of Carrie?
Approaching from the direction of dark =/= luminous, the first and last make the most sense.

As an enthusiast of horrible movies, and member of the Razzie boards, I can tell you the Career Achievement Award is neck-and-neck between Toliet Boll and Sly. It's being hotly debated, but my money's on Uwe. Sly's movies may be dreck to many; to me, they're simply the equivalent of cinema "junk food". They didn't make me want to claw out my eyes like Uwe's crap has done.

I honestly don't know why he keeps directing movies, although it's OBVIOUS that he's got no talent whatsoever. Even a babboon could do a better job than him...

Bring on the Razzies, he deserves them :D
