Notorious movie director Uwe Boll has been nominated to receive the worst director award for game adaptation Alone in the Dark at this year's Razzies.
2006 will mark the 26th anniversary of the Golden Raspberry Awards, which are given out to celebrate the worst achievements in film as an alternative to the Oscars.
Boll isn't the only one who's up for an award - Alone in the Dark star Tara Reid has also been nominated for worst actress. The Rock is up for worst actor for his performance in the Doom movie.
None of this comes as much of a surprise - Alone in the Dark served only to back up the theory that movies based on videogames are never any good at all, and Doom wasn't much cop either.
But could things be about to change? After all, the Roger Avary-scripted adaption of Silent Hill is out this spring, and judging by the trailers it might actually be all right. However, Boll still has a seemingly endless number of videogame movies up his sleeve, including Dungeon Siege and Postal, so let's not get our hopes up.

The only time the world would WANT Uwe Boll to win an award...
Let's hope he wins it. He spent all that money on a trophy cabinet, may as well get something to put in there... edit: And Silent Hill movie is looking something rather special. I did have a few doubts at the parallels you can make to the first game (Sharon/Cheryl, the initial car crash scene and the general concept) but I think this is deliberate and actually might work in its favour. It's certainly looking good... can't wait...

Boll is probably going to love this, after all we know that he doesn't care about making good films.

Don't blame Boll for crappy game films, blame the companies that give him the contract to make the films in the first place.
Blame the publishers, and other entities that own the IP on the games and make the poor decision to green light these B-grade efforts. They don't care about quality, they just want more game merch: game movies, game toys, game happy meals, etc. |

I'll bet Uwe opened his nomination letter, and started dancing and shouting: "Yaaay! I'm getting an award! People love meee!".
How sweet to be an idiot. |

AOFanboi: I reckon she realises how bad that film was, so thought she should at least try to look graceful about it :)
