On the brink of the Oscars coming, full attention is being put on various award shows to see what kind of foreshadowing will occur. Somehow, though, I don’t think the Razzies will have a great effect on who will win or lose at the Oscars.

The 2011 Golden Raspberry Awards were handed out last night, and here’s a list of the “winners”.

Worst Picture
“The Last Airbender”

Worst Actor
Ashton Kutcher, “Killers” and “Valentine’s Day”

Worst Actress
Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon “Sex and the City 2?

Worst Supporting Actress
Jessica Alba, “The Killer Inside Me,” “Little Fockers,” “Machete” and “Valentine’s Day”

Worst Supporting Actor
Jackson Rathbone, “The Last Airbender,” “Eclipse”

Worst Eye-Gouging Mis-Use of 3-D
“The Last Airbender”

Worst Screen Couple/Screen Ensemble
The entire cast of “Sex and the City 2?

Worst Director
M. Night Shyamalan, “The Last Airbender”

Worst Screenplay
“The Last Airbender,” written by M. Night Shyamalan

Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel
“Sex and the City 2?

I haven’t seen many of the movies on this list, but by the looks of the commercial, “The Last Airbender” probably should win this title. I’m not a fan of M. Night Shyamalan, so I’m glad he won Worst Director as well. Very glad. I mean, have you seen The Happening? So, so, bad.

I’m not surprised the entire cast of Sex and the City 2 won Worst Actress and Sequel. I knew that movie would get ripped to shreds the moment it came out – nobody likes a sequel. But in all honestly, the movie isn’t that bad. Sure, all they do is shop, complain, and have sex, but that’s far better than something like “Mean Girls 2″ or “Leprechaun 2″…. seriously.

I think the Razzies are fun and take the seriousness out of award seasons… I mean really, are movies that important? People treat it like it’s a life or death situation during the oscars. It’s a golden little statue, people!

Sony’s Rolly – The Dancing Entertainment System

Sony Canada Ltd. is introducing its new personal entertainment player, the Rolly. The Rolly is a palm-sized, egg-shaped device that moves and spins to the beat of the music its playing.

“Rolly has the ability to attract your attention as soon as you turn it on,” said Junior Ali, Senior Director of Marketing at Sony Canada in a press release from the company. “It’s a tremendous example of what can happen when entertainment and technology merge.”

Despite its small size, the Rolly is designed for excellent sound quality, through features such as digital amps and speakers with neodymium magnets. The robotic technologies of the Rolly allow the machine’s small arms, shoulders and wheels to move in time to the music coming out of its speakers. There are also two lights on the Rolly that change colour with the music. The Rolly already comes programmed with dance moves for a few songs, such as Avril Lavigne’s ‘Girlfriend and Earth, Wind and Fire’s ‘Boogie Wonderland’.

The Rolly also comes with Rolly Choreographer software, where a user can create and program the device to perform a custom song and dance number. The Rolly comes with a 2GB flash memory, and can store up to 520 songs. The Rolly is selling for around $400, and is available online at sonystyle.ca or at Sony retail stores.
