From the sort-of sublime (the Oscars) to the ridiculous …
Bad movies deserve a little love, or faux love, too. That’s the motivation behind the Razzies, formally known as the Golden Raspberry Awards.
Ceremonies for the dubious honors — honoring the year’s worst achievements in film — were held on Saturday at the Barnsdall Theatre in Hollywood.
The genuinely stinky Mike Myers “comedy” The Love Guru was named worst picture, and the star took home the award for worst actor.
Paris Hilton, who may or may not be as funny as Jerry Lewis, in France, scored other top honors. She was named the year’s worst actress, for The Hottie and the Nottie (to call the movie “execrable” would be redundant), and the worst supporting actress for “slasher musical” Repo: The Genetic Opera. Hilton made it a triple play as part of the worst screen couple (with either Christine Lakin or Joel David Moore), also for The Hottie and the Nottie.
More “winners”:
Worst director: Uwe Boll, 1968: Tunnel Rats & In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale & Postal
Worst supporting actor: Pierce Brosnan, Mamma Mia!
Worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull:
Worst screenplay: Mike Myers & Graham Gordy, The Love Guru
Worst career achievement: Uwe Boll (“Germany’s answer to Ed Wood”)
