I've decided to volunteer to write for Top Comments on Oscar night every year from now on. It presents the perfect opportunity to dish on the winners of
The Golden Raspberry Awards, known simply as
The Razzies. And oh, how I'm going to enjoy dishing tonight on this year's victorious stinker, Kirk Cameron and his universally loathed movie
Saving Christmas. Or, what I call,
The Awfullest Story Ever Told.

Saving Christmas trailer
The Razzies celebrated it's 35th annual awards ceremony last night. What began as an Oscar party frolic at the home of publicist John J. B. Wilson gained notice and quickly became famous for its tongue-in-cheek parody of the Oscars glittertainment industry. Invitations to this private event became so in-demand that Wilson seized on its popularity and began to promote it. It has evolved into its own deliciously snarky antithesis of the Oscars, a finger in the eye to an industry full of narcissists, opportunists and assholes. Kirk Cameron embodies all three of these traits and having The Razzies put an exclamation point on that fact was delicious.
I took great personal delight as I was writing about Kirk Cameron and his craptastical flop of a failure last December. Given the fact that Saving Christmas scored a perfect 0 on Rotten Tomatoes and still swirls like a turd caught in the drain on IMDb, Cameron's sweep of The Razzies came as no surprise.
So, Kirk Cameron, glow in the low of your Razzies. You earned it, my dear fiend, you earned it.
The envelopes please:
Worst Picture
Saving Christmas
Worst Actor
Kirk Cameron, Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas
Worst Screenplay
Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas, Written by Darren Doane and Cheston Hervey
However, my favorite Razzie has to go to Kirk Cameron for winning twice in one shot:
Worst Screen Combo
Kirk Cameron & His Ego, Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas
And now on to better art...Tops!

This cheese pun thread started by Champurrado in Barbara Morrill's diary on Walker shouldn't be missed.
From BeninSC:
Flagged by drmah, this comment by wild hair skewers Republicans for the absence of honesty and substance in their politics.
Flagged by StellaRay, this comment by elsaf begins a terrific thread (primarily this comment by elsaf). Please read! (Particularly for dog fans!) Good job, elsaf! And thank you, StellaRay!
From Steven Payne:
As ericlewis0 pondered whether Bill O'Reilly was finished in his diary Bill O'Reilly Circling Drain, Calls Bob Schieffer a Plagiarist, SCFrog stongly nailed why Fox News will stand behind him.
and another from me:
I posed an existential question in Silly Rabbit's Sunday Talk diary last night about life at age 52. Antitheist posted a reply in this comment that stopped me in my tracks when I read it, so life affirming was it.
