Adam Sandler Sets Record For Most Razzie Nominations

With 11 nominations this year alone, he doubles up Eddie Murphy's previous record of five. Jack and Jill also manages to gain more nominations than there are award categories.

All this Coke product placement makes me never want to have a coke again.

Few enough surprises in the 2012 Razzie nominations, except perhaps if you don't consider Adam Sandler to be perhaps the most toxic cultural force in American society today. All good people feel that way, though, and you are certainly a good person since you read Screened, you're in our boat. Sandler managed to "win" the game of nominations this year, with 11, more than double the previous record for most nominations in a single year, previously held by Eddie Murphy with five.

None of the rest of the nominations are particularly surprising, and it's nice to see that someone else is not quite on the Ken Jeong bandwagon that's so hip nowadays. Any of the rest of the categories below surprise you? Anyone going to stand up to defend the honor of Nic Cage?

God but there are some adam sandler movies that are my all time favorites..they're just all 10 years old, give or take. I'm pretty sure my tastes didn't  change, they just got a lot worse as he went on..

Funny People might have been a cry for help from Sandler that sheds light on his self destructing addiction to money and shitty films.
