10 Films That Really Didn't Deserve Razzie Nominations
10. Anchorman
At the time of its release, Anchorman was viewed as a fairly hilarious, if a bit silly affair. Audiences adored it and even critics took a liking to it. The year was 2004 and it was Will Ferrell at his prime working alongside the future-Oscar-winner Adam McKay as his co-writer and director. What could the Razzies possibly not like about this gut-busting affair?
Apparently, the funniest scene in the whole movie.
If you've seen Anchorman, you certainly remember the completely-out-of-nowhere madness that is the news team fight scene. It is a battle royale of a sequence and is absolute insanity, serving as an opportunity for various A-list comedians to cameo as the other anchormen. Among these glorious cameos is one Ben Stiller.
Ben had had a year of both hits and misses throughout 2004. One cannot accuse him of not staying busy, as he appeared in a total of six films that year, including the Anchorman cameo. The Razzies saw fit to nominate Stiller for worst actor, citing four of these six performances as credit. Somehow, his less-than-a-minute of screentime as a Spanish newscaster earned Anchorman its one and only Razzie nom.
