Click here for the complete list. I think the tightest categories are Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress; the rest seem like shoe-ins. I think it's a toss-up between Jeff Bridges and George Clooney for the top slot; and the Supporting Actress category is sporting some very tough competition. In the meantime, check out the hilarious Razzies selections. Will the double nom hurt or help Sandra's Oscar run? Does it really matter? She's up against Meryl Freakin' Streep.
