No Oscar nods … but plenty of Razzies!

By now you know that our Lower Hudson Valley celebrities struck out in the Academy Awards nomination sweepstakes. Despite our last ditch appeals for people like Stanley Tucci (I still say he would’ve been a good pick for supporting actor in “Prada”), the only nominations with any connection to the area are: “The Departed,” which shot some scenes in White Plains (anyone know which ones?), and “Babel,” co-produced by New City native Steve Golin.
But that doesn’t mean we’re going home empty handed this awards season. Our region is up for more than its fair share of Razzies (the awards honoring the worst of the worst in motion pictures), including many of the performances I plugged earlier this week:
Worst Picture:
“Lady In The Water” (starring Bryce Dallas Howard, who graduated from Byram Hills High School in Armonk)
“Wicker Man” (starring Nyack resident Ellen Burstyn)
Worst Remake or Rip-Off:
“Poseidon” (starring Mamaroneck’s Kevin Dillon)
“Wicker Man” (Burstyn, again)
Worst Prequel or Sequel:
“Garfield 2: A Tail Of Two Kitties” (Why oh why would Sneden’s Landing’s Bill Murray get suckered into voicing the cat—again?)
Worst Director:
Ron Howard, “The Da Vinci Code” (lives in Greenwich)
