As if we needed more proof that Adam Sandler has gone downhill...

... He just received a record-setting 11 Razzie nominations for this years awards.  Sandler received 2 nominations for worst actor (Just Go With It, Jack and Jill), worst actress (Jack and Jill), worst screen ensemble for Jack and Jill, worst screenplay (Jack and Jill, Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star), and 2 nominations for worst screen couple (Just Go With It, Jack and Jill).  Oh, and worst film nominations for the aforementioned movies also contribute to his record setting tally.  Despite this, Sandler's "film" Jack and Jill fared worse, receiving 12 nominations despite there only being 10 categories.  Full list of nominees here.

Adam Sandler Career Timeline

After talking to my brother about how Adam Sandler's career has gone from good to bad, I decided to make a chart to demonstrate.  I used ratings from IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic user reviews.  Surprisingly, his movies haven't gotten steadily worse according to those sources, instead being relatively constant over the years (obviously a few ups and down in between).  IMDB users aren't exactly the best judge of character, and Rotten Tomatoes considers critic reviews which have never been too fond of any (funny) Sandler flick.  Metacritic users, however, share relatively the same opinion as my brother and I do, though the decline isn't quite as sharp.  But seriously, there is no way Jack and Jill is going to touch Billy Madison/Happy Gilmore/The Wedding Singer.  Without further ado, here's the chart:
