2004 Razzie Nominations

You know, that would be really interesting and I'd gain some respect for Bush as a cool guy if he showed up to accept his award if he did win.

He would only be the second person to do it. Paul Van H. showed up to collect his Razzie for Showgirls~!

I thought Tom Green showed up for 'Freddy Got Fingered', too.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Yeah Green had an acceptance speech and everything. I miss that guy sometimes.

SUPERBABIES: BABY GENIUSES 2 (Triumph Films)

Seriously, what's the point? Plenty of other horrible movies, with much higher expectations than Baby Geniuses 4.

[Guest Smues]

Ignoring the fact all the F9/11 nominations were politically motivated, shouldn't they all be discounted since they weren't acting?

And Leonard Part 6, where Bill Cosby accepted the award.

Green and Paul V. went to the ceremony itself! But Cosby still paved the way...c'mon bigshots, have a sense of humor and accept the awards you deserve...

 

from imdb:

 

The film won three Razzie Awards including Worst Picture, Worst Actor, and Worst Screenplay. All of which were personally accepted by Bill Cosby himself, he requested that they be specially made out of 24 carat gold and Italian marble, (at a cost to Fox Networks of about $27,000) and be presented to him on "The Fox Late Show" a few weeks after the actual Razzie ceremony.

Publicly acknowledging the fact you made a shitty movie then proceeding to get the last word in the matter. Now that's rolling with the punches.

I bet Micheal Moore is at the ceremonies.

[Guest Vitamin X]

It'll be the only awards he'll be receiving for Fahrenheit 9/11, that's certain by now.

What the fuck did Ben Stiller do to get nominated for a Razzie? Dodgeball was a fucking awesome movie.

the huge lack of chemistry between Hugh jackman and Kate Beckinsale is what killed me with Van Helsing...oh and Frankenstien's Monster being a smart good guy also...

George Bush, Halle Berry Share Worst Film Honors

 

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - George W. Bush won the "Razzie" worst actor of the year award on Saturday for his performance as president in "Fahrenheit 9/11" but his moment in Hollywood's dubious spotlight was eclipsed by Halle Berry (news), who actually turned up to receive her embarrassing accolade.

 

Berry was named worst actress of 2004 by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation for her performance in "Catwoman" and she showed up to accept her "Razzie" carrying the Oscar she won in 2002 for "Monster's Ball."

 

"They can't take this away from me, it's got my name on it!" she quipped. A raucous crowd cheered her on as she gave a stirring recreation of her Academy Award acceptance speech, including tears.

 

She thanked everyone involved in "Catwoman," a film she said took her from the top of her profession to the bottom.

 

"I want to thank Warner Brothers for casting me in this piece of s---," she said as she dragged her agent on stage and warned him "next time read the script first."

 

It is rare for a Razzie winner to show up at the spoof awards held on the night before Oscars (news - web sites) -- but Berry did, saying her mother taught her that to be "a good winner you had to be a good loser first." She received a standing ovation.

 

Bush, beating such established Hollywood heroes as Colin Farrell and Vin Diesel (news), won the Razzie for worst actor of the year for his appearance in Michael Moore's documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11."

 

Bush, two members of his administration, Britney Spears (news) and the storybook about a goat that the president was reading to children as the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were taking place all took top honors at the "Razzie" awards, now in their 25th year.

 

"Catwoman" tied with "Fahrenheit 9/11" by winning four "Razzies" -- worst picture, worst directing, worst screenplay and worst performance by an actress for Berry and her "berry bad" work.

 

John Wilson, founder of the nonprofit Golden Raspberry Award Foundation that gives out "Hollywood's least coveted trophies," said Moore's anti-Bush documentary allowed the foundation's nearly 700 members to do some Bush bashing of their own.

 

The president not only was named worst male actor in a leading role, he also won for being half of the year's worst screen couple when paired with either Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) or "My Pet Goat," the book he was reading to schoolchildren on the morning of Sept. 11.

 

Footage of Bush continuing to read after being given first word of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon (news - web sites) was one of the key scenes in Moore's highly critical film.

 

Two other "Fahrenheit" stars were "honored." Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was named worst supporting actor and pop star Spears won for worst supporting actress for a clip in which she declared blind faith in Bush's policies while popping chewing gum.

 

Winners receive a golf ball-sized figure of a "Raspberry" atop a mangled Super 8 film reel that is spray-painted gold. It has an estimated street value of $4.97, although Wilson said costs were rising as Super 8 film reel cans are getting harder to find.

Yeah I read that on Yahoo after the Oscars. I thought that was pretty cool.

[Guest JMA]

Damn, that was a pretty cool thing for Halle Berry to do. I gotta say, I'm impressed.

 

In any case, she'll recover from the dreck that was CINO. I mean, George Clooney, Uma Thurman, and John Glover's careers weren't ruined by being in Batman and Robin. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing her return as Storm in X-Men 3.

Wow, Berry's got a sense of humor. I'm impressed.

 

Oh no, the Razzies don't like Bush. If only I could turn back the hands of time and change my vote...

[Guest JMA]

Ben Stiller for Dodgeball and Anchorman? Man, these cats are fucked.

Agreed. Those movies were great, as was Stiller. Does anyone know why he was nominated for those films? Is it some kind of joke or something?

 

And yeah, the Bush nominations were pretty lame.

Bahahahhahahah. That's awesome.
