Smithee Award Nominations

Worst Cover Copy
Don't They Screen for That? If you read the cover, it says that John Merrill is a pacifist Navy Seal. Um ... no. Doesn't quite work that way. That's not the only detail they get wrong, it's just the most amusing one.	Sorry, this cover has not yet been made available!

Worst Acting
Laura Albert, Aid Worker The female aid worker has a monologue here which is shades of Myra Chason in The Lost Idol.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!
