How the hell did Dragonball Evolution not make any of these categories?

Razzie's are not about any true measuring of badness, it's about who and what people love to hate, what is popular to hate. In the US the Dragonball movie didn't even make enough of an impact to dislike. If some huge named actor people that like to dump on was in the movie, say NIc Cage, and the movie studios expected it to succeed and put money behind promotion for it only for it to fail, THEN it would be a razzie contender.
Astroboy would have been more likely to be nominated, not because it was worse than the Dragonball movie, but because there was a slightly larger expectation for it to succeed. Remember that Speed Racer got a nomination or two last year- that's because between the Wachowski brothers that people love to hate and the somewhat high profile actors and expectations, it merited inclusion. |

They listed G.I. Joe. Credibility lost. The movie might not have been rated that well, but I'd definitely see it just for the special effects. Besides that shady site surrounded by dentist advertisements, hum. No wonder good companies wouldn't want to advertise with that sort of flaming.

People actually pay attention to the razzies? They're like an anti-popularity contest, rather than an actual "award" given to truly shitty movies.
See, real honesty? That's the Golden Turkey awards. Ah, if only that book was the real thing... The "brown carpet." |

I was just perusing Rotten Tomatoes "Worst of the Worst" list of the past decade, and while Dragonball (ratinng 13%) didn't make the list, another LA anime related movie from 2009 did make it, Did you forget about Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li? (44th worst- 4% RT rating)
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/guides/worst_of_the_worst/6/ Plus, according to the "Moldy Tomato" category of the Golden Tomato Awards it was in fact the very worst of the year (apparently measured differently than the other list, because two other 2009 movies were ahead of it on that list- including one that didn't even show in the Moldy category). And Dragonball did make that list as the 8th worst. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/guides/rtawards/moldy/ so the question is... is it really good that anime related movies be recognized as horrible? Is any press good press even when it's the worst press you can get? |

It didn't have Paris Hilton, Ben Affleck or a Disney Channel star in it, so it was exempt from Cheap and Incredibly Gay Celeb-Centric Star-Bashing jokes. The Razzies weren't interested. (Plus, y'know, it's not that bad, since they try to pull it together in the second half, and pretend the first thirty minutes didn't happen...) |
