Razzie is short for a Golden Raspberry Award and is an award given to those in recognition of the very worst in film. In 1981, copywriter and publicist John J. B. Wilson founded the Razzies, which are the antithesis of and always precede the Academy Awards.
While receiving a Razzie is not really a good thing, obviously, an actor or actress can show great class if they find themselves in that predicament. Take for example Sandra Bullock who won a Razzie in 2010 for her part in "All About Steve".
Not only did Sandra arrive in person to accept the Razzie, she displayed grace and humor in receiving the "award". Click here for more on that.
Aniston first made the Razzie nomination list in 1997 for Worst New Star, and now in 2011, she finds herself in the category of Worst Actress for two films including "The Bounty Hunter" and "The Switch".
While Jennifer's nomination may not shock fans, other nominations might. For example, Robert Pattison is up for Worst Actor in "Remember Me" and Twilight Saga: Eclipse" along with Taylor Lautner who has also been nominated for his roles in "Twilight" and "Valentine's Day."
Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson's co-star in "Twilight" is also up for Worst Actress for her part in "Twilight" but with competition such as Aniston and Miley Cyrus for "The Last Song" it may be hard for Stewart to nab the win.
Along with "Twilight" "The Last Airbender" grabbed nine Razzie nominations including Worst Picture, Worst Supporting Actress (Nicole Peltz), and Worst Director (M. Night Shyamalan) to name just a few.
