LOS ANGELES - Hoisting her Academy Award in one hand and newly won Razzie in the other, Halle Berry reveled in her career low point.

"Omigosh, oh my God," Berry gasped Saturday night, feigning excitement as she held her hand to her mouth and forehead. "I never in my life thought that I would be here, winning a Razzie. It's not like I ever aspired to be here, but thank you."

Berry was picked as worst actress for 2004's action bomb "Catwoman," which also took the prize for worst film at the 25th annual Razzies, an Oscar spoof that trashes Hollywood's worst.

well since this movie won so many awards i think its about time for them to start shooting the sequel :-)

[thoughtomator]

"Shooting the sequel"? Yeah, in the same sense that "they shoot horses, don't they?"

[Alouette]

Look at it this way, she has earned a spot on all the Free Republic Viking Kittie threads.

Hey, to some an award is an award!

She won!

For crying out loud, give her some credit! /s

This is one black cat I wouldn't mind crossing my path.

[sgtbono2002]

At least she deserves the Razzie. She didnt insult her White mother at this presentation like she did at the Oscars.

[NorCalRepub]

Jennifer Lopez is worried now about the competition.....

[martin_fierro]

lol

[BenLurkin]

Yes, indeed!

I say give her credit for having the good humor to show up and accept the award. Good for her.

Even President Bush gets bashed at the Razzies...

Other Razzie winners included President Bush for his leading appearance in news and archival footage of Michael Moore's satiric documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11." Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was voted worst supporting-actor for the film, while Britney Spears' fleeting cameo in the documentary brought her the worst supporting-actress Razzie.

Razzies founder John Wilson said the prizes were not meant to mock Moore's film, only the statements Bush and the others make while "putting their highly paid, highly skilled feet in their mouths repeatedly and sucking on them."

I agree. So far, Halle Barry has been a class act. I hope she keeps it up.

[The Fop]

Finally, a black actress wins the Razzie. Maybe she'll dedicate the award to all the terrible black actors and actresses that came before her who were never even considered for this honor.

[RichInOC]

Did she ask the presenter to "make her feel good"?

[beyond the sea]

I say give her credit for having the good humor to show up and accept the award. Good for her.

Yep, she's a real good girl.

If only she'd come over for dinner.

;-)

[al baby]

If you consider a class act by hit and run auto wreck is cool

[Feckless]

my kinda girl, when she sits down she gets taller :->

[freepatriot32]

lol aint it the truth.I am glad youre then one that said it and not me though :-)

[texasreb]

Right a class act. What was it last year? when she and Danzell? broke the"color barrier??" For pete's sake, no one but those jive ass chumps can vote for themselves. There are few things that totally push it to the end for me than these goons and their snow job on the "people" of the U.S. We broke the barrier, We did when no one would let us, we have opened the door for the rest of the A.A., C.P., N., A.O.A.D., what ever they call themselves today. How can anyone listen to them, any of them, any color of them, and even keep from getting sick or running to the 'puter??. Honestly, this isn't an attack on anyone, it's just I'm so tired of hearing supposedly intelligent people repeat the latest "coolness" from any of them.

Except when she publicly insulted her {white} mother.

Sounds like Spann Tillman was offended, not her mom!

Pretty sad to be offended by that. I doubt Spann or Tillman would be concerned with trying so hard to make something of nothing - like your made up grievance here - LOL!
