Uwe Boll, the director of In the Name of the King, was announced to receive the first Worst Career Achievement Razzie since 1987.

The results will be presented on February 21 during a ceremony that is usualy skipped by the nominees. There have been some exceptions, with Tom Green appearing on stage to receive his Razzie and also Halle Berry, being a good sport, went to the event to pick up her prize for her role in Catwoman.
