Sorry peeps - I prefer the Razzies, honest awards for awful actors and terrible movies.

Hee hee! Indeed! I think Eddie Murphy and Lindsey Lohan got quite a few didn't they?

Dear me, I thought I liked films but there's hardly anything there I've seen!

I'll have to vote for Ratatouile then. My little man loves it!
