The Only Oscars where THE LOVE GURU gets an award
Add comment February 19th, 2009
Esquire presents its “2009 Alternative Oscars,” including a nod for Mike Myer’s abyssmal THE LOVE GURU as “Best Failure.” According to them, “Awards celebrate success, but some failures should be cherished. Mike Myers could make another five Austin Powers movies and then a nostalgic Wayne’s World, please every executive at the studio, all the while earning enough money to warm his collection of homes by burning bricks of $100 bills. He instead chose to go way out on a limb and try to be absolutely hilarious. He landed on his ass and made a movie that nobody should watch but everybody should applaud.”
Um, sorry. No applause from this corner.
I did like how they honored Elizabeth Banks as “Best Fun Blond” for playing both ex-First Lady Laura Bush and starring in ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO in the same month. Now that’s versatility!
Read the whole list here. There’s some (OK, a lot of ) profanity in the “Best Profane Dialogue” category, but if the name of the category doesn’t tip you off that you might be encountering some dirty words, you deserve to be offended.
