When we first saw a leaked version of the
2008 Razzies Shortlist a few weeks back, we bemoaned the lack of nominations for
Seven Pounds, and were dismayed by the possible inclusion of Zac Efron on this year's Schadenfreude-laden ballots. However, now that the final nominations for the
2008 Golden Raspberry Awards have been announced,
HSM disciples can breathe a sigh of relief, for their body-hairless hero did not make the final cut. Rather, distressed comedian Mike Myers and internet punching bag Uwe Boll lead the way, the latter being singled out for the organization's first Career Achievement dis-honor since the rubber shark from the
Jaws series
took the prize home in 1988. See the complete list of nominations after the jump.
