Each year, the Razzie Awards come along to remind us of all the crappy movies and performances that hit theaters that year. The Razzies are fun and all but I've stumbled upon some awards that are even more fun: the Internet Movie Poster Awards. Posters can be an exciting first hint at a movie you're looking forward to — or they can be completely baffling. Sometimes they're funny or creepy, and sometimes they just fail to inspire.
Click around the IMP Awards site, which includes categories like Worst Movie Poster, Best Movie Poster, Funniest Poster, etc. Pictured above are three nominations for the worst posters of the year and I have to say I totally agree. Why is Angelina's face so huge? Uma Thurman is "in a toss up" between two men? And The Hottie and the Nottie poster is just . . . terrifying.

Funniest
One of the posters in the funniest category is this one from Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, and I agree that it is very funny. Who can argue with unicorns and Neil Patrick Harris? Nobody, that's who.
Best
This poster for The Dark Knight is one of the nominees for the year's best poster. It's still so creepy (and sad) to see this representation of the chilling character Heath Ledger portrayed.
Best Funny Tagline
This category is a really good one! You should check out all the nominees but this Hamlet 2 tagline is the one that gave me the biggest case of LOLs: "One high school drama teacher is about to make a huge number 2." Ah, poop humor. Fun times.
French Connection
The Hottie and the Nottie poster is terrifying. Especially when you consider in real life without that scary makeup the nottie is hotter than Paris Hilton.
1That Dark Knight poster has been my computer desktop wallpaper since it appeared online. I gotta agree with that assessment. I LOVE it!
2cool site! I never saw the NPH one but that one is definitely funny
3How likely is it that the "nottie" is really going to look like that?
4I love the NPH one!
(Although, I am not-so-secretly in love with NPH in general, mostly due to Barney Stinson, the best character on TV.)
5Cool site. Thanks, Buzz.
6The Dedication poster was really cool. (Wait, was that '08 or '07? Whatever.)
7The Changeling poster was terrible and didn't convey anything about the movie. I noticed they didn't include the Twilight posters, which I thought were terrible because the photoshopping and juxtaposition between Edward & Bella was terrible.
8Sorry for being redundant and using the word "terrible" several times in my last comment
I'm overtired.
