I agree. Winning this type of award is like winning a raspberry. No thanks.

By "raspberry," are you referring to the Golden Raspberry Awards? If so, then I respectfully disagree.

A vote for a Golden Raspberry award is a vote of condemnation, while a vote for a Scream Award is a vote of approval. However, Hollywood actually participates in and pays attention to the Razzies while the Scream Awards are decided by people who -- by and large -- have no power in Hollywood and haven't seen a movie older than the original Star Wars.

Razzies are given out as signs of universal malediction and the Scream Award results are signs of inconsequential praise. In this way, winning a Scream Award is actually the polar opposite of winning a Razzie. In fact, winning a Scream Award is like winning a plain, actual raspberry: It's nice to have one, but what really comes of it?


Uhh...I think he meant it's like winning an actual raspberry, not a Razzie.

In that case, madvillain, I agree completely.

Well the lone Watchmen win seems like luck at this point. Seeing as most of the crappier movies, outside of a few lucky winners (By which I mean actual decent movies), won the majority of the Scream Awards.

*sigh* Didn't even win for best superhero.

Ah, well. More of them than there are of us, the awards wouldn't have mattered even if Watchmen won all of them, blah blah blah, moving on.
