    • [object Object]
      Winner

      Antichrist

      6.5 (141K)
      "The cinematic equivalent of nails down a chalkboard. Pretentious pornography, satanic sex, and Willem Dafoe as an artsy New Age femocidal sexorcist."
    • [object Object]
      Winner

      Deadgirl

      5.5 (20K)
      "Again the theme is vile sexual violence to women. In this case, the woman is dead and the men can do what they like with her And they do. This film brings out the worst of male fantasies towards women, and it wasn't a pretty sight."
    • [object Object]
      Winner

      Downloading Nancy

      5.7 (3.2K)

      Precious

      7.3 (119K)
      "If this film were a poor 'white trash' family/community, it wouldn't have received the applause that it did. The point is that it promotes prejudice against blacks, fat women, unmarried women, less educated women and a whole lot more. That it is successful screams out for another film from the same neighborhood where the family is kept above the fray of stereotyping, by a strong unmarried mother."
    • [object Object]
      Winner

      The Twilight Saga: New Moon

      4.8 (311K)
      "Bella (lead human female) is completely pathetic, the whole giving up one's soul thing. How sad is it when a gal in a small town picks two boys she likes, one is a vampire and one is a werewolf."

      Winner

      Up in the Air

      7.4 (355K)

    • Judd Apatow
      Winner
      • Judd Apatow
      "Two words: Judd Apatow. Some more words: perfect, beautiful women exist to save overweight schlubby men from their otherwise inevitable fate as complete no-hopers"
    • [object Object]
      Winner
