This past weekend, two awards ceremonies were conducted to honor the best and worst in film over the last year.

FOR THE 2010 ACADEMY AWARDS, THE OSCARS WENT TO:

*Christopher Waltz won Best Supporting Actor for Inglorious Basterds.
*Mo'Nique won Best Supporting Actress for her role in Precious, while the movie won for Best Adapted Screenplay.
*Up won for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score.
And for those interested, Avatar did win for Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Visual Effects (`duh!).

Meanwhile, on the other side of the coin...
THE 2010 RAZZIES FOR THE WORST IN FILMS WENT TO:
*Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen "won" for Worst Movie of the Year, Worst Director (Michael Bay), and Worst Screenplay.
*The Jonas Brothers shared the Worst Actor Razzie for their 2009 3-D Concert film.
*Sandra Bullock was named the Worst Actress for her other 2009 movie All About Steve.
*Billy Ray Cyrus was named Worst Supporting Actor for his participation in Hannah Montana: The Movie.
*Sienna Miller was declared the Worst Supporting Actress for her role in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.

And the Razzie committee also picked the worst of the past decade, based upon the nominations and "winners" of their awards between 2000-2009.
Those "lucky" recipients are:
*Eddie Murphy for Worst Actor.
*Paris Hilton for Worst Actress, and
*Battlefield Earth (from 2000) as Worst Picture of the Decade.
