LEBRON JAMES THOUGHT HE HAD THE DEAL OF A LIFETIME WITH RECREATING SPACE JAM 2, BUT NOW HE’S BEING NOMINATED FOR “WORST ACTOR” AS A RESULT. LeBron James is up for an award for his “Space Jam” movie. But it’s not a good honor he will want to win. “According to People, the four-time NBA champion has been nominated for a “Worst Actor Razzie” for his performance in ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy.’ If you don’t know, the Razzies are awards given to the worst of Hollywood,” Total Pro Sports reported. “On Monday, the spoof awards show announced the list...

“Baywatch,” “The Emoji Movie,” “Fifty Shades Darker,” “The Mummy,” and “Transformers: The Last Knight” have been nominated as “worst picture” for the 38th annual Golden Raspberry Awards. The nominees for the mock awards show were unveiled on Monday, a day before the Academy Awards nominations, with a video called “how to protect humanity from toxic waste.” Winners will be announced on March 3, the day before the Oscars ceremony. “Welcome to the 38th Razzie Nominees,” the announcement said. “Simply defined, Razzie hazardous waste is material with properties that make it dangerous or capable of having a harmful effect on human...

It's Academy Awards time which means Hollywood will get dressed up in its most revealing, sexually provocative dresses and least appropriate formal attire to wallow in narcissistic glory for at least three hours (usually much longer).Of far more interest to the average moviegoer is not the Best Picture or Best Actor awards, but The Razzies -- the annual list of the worst of the worst Hollywood movies.This year, politics is featured -- as you might expect. Even The Razzies are liberal. But it's still fun to see just how bad some of the biggest Hollywood celebrities can blow it when...

Fifty Shades of Grey and Fantastic Four triumphed at the awards ceremony where no one wants to win, claiming the joint prize of Worst Picture at the Razzies on Saturday night. The adaptation of EL James' erotic novel hit the spot in several categories, also being awarded worst actor and actress for Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson's performances.

The Razzies could be a great awards show for the everyman. They could spoof the self congratulatory place that is Hollywood. Bloated films like "The Tree of Life" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" would get their comeuppance. Instead, the Razzies prefer to act as a confirmation of the wisdom of its Hollywood counterpart, the Oscars. They proved this year that they prefer to nominate people like Gov. Sarah Palin in an effort to suck up to their liberal friends and attack production houses like Adam Sandler's Happy Madison rather than going after the crap Hollywood attempts to force...

The former vice presidential candidate was nominated Saturday for a Golden Raspberry Award as worst actress for her “performance” in the documentary “The Undefeated,” a film about her political career. The tongue-in-cheek Razzies, which purport to salute the worst in the world of movies each year, typically are presented the day before the Academy Awards but their schedule was shifted this year - the nominees were released Saturday and the winners (or losers, depending on how you look at it) are to be announced April 1. Alaska’s former governor, if she were to give this any thought at all, could...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Land of the Lost tied for most Razzie nominations with seven nods each, including worst picture of 2009. Other worst picture nominees include All About Steve, G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra, and Old Dogs. Ironically, Sandra Bullock, who is considered to be an Oscar frontrunner for her performance in the Blind Side, was nominated for worst actress in All About Steve, and could be the first person to ever win an Oscar and Razzie in the same weekend. Other nominees include: Miley Cyrus and her dad, Billy Ray (Hannah Montana: The Movie);...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - And the losers are? Tom Cruise and his fiance Katie Holmes. Cruise who starred in last year's blockbuster hit "War of the Worlds" and his pregnant partner Holmes won the Razzie award on Saturday for "most tiresome tabloid targets." The Razzies, which parody self-congratulatory Hollywood award shows such as the Oscars by roasting the worst of Tinseltown, this year added the "most tiresome" category to salute "the celebs we're ALL sick and tired of." The couple, known as TomKat, won for their tabloid dominance. Cruise professed his love for the actress on "The Oprah Winfrey Show"...

Bad sequels and remakes tortured movie audiences last year, and they provided a smorgasbord for the Razzies, an Academy Awards spoof that pays heed to the worst in Hollywood.

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...

LOS ANGELES, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Beating such established Hollywood hunks as Colin Farrell and Vin Diesel, U.S. President George W. Bush won the Golden Raspberry Award on Saturday 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 and the storybook about a goat that the president was reading to children as the Sept. 11 attacks were taking place all took top honors at the "Razzie" awards, now in their 25th year. "Catwoman," starring 2002 best actress Oscar winner Halle Berry, tied with "Fahrenheit 9/11" by...

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Fur flew in Hollywood as Halle Berry's disastrous movie "Catwoman" led the nominations for the worst movie of 2004, but hit unexpected competition from worst actor nominee George W. Bush in the annual "Razzies" awards. The comic book spinoff starring the Oscar-winning beauty picked up seven nods for "Razzies," Tinseltown's dishonourable counterbalance to the Oscars, nominations for which were set to be unveiled on Tuesday. Berry and supporting stars Sharon Stone and Lambert Wilson were singled out for their dire performances, while the film also won ignominious nods for worst picture, worst director, worst screenplay and...

President Bush and some of his advisers received worst-acting nominations for their appearances in news and archival footage in Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," which assails Bush for his actions surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks. Bush was nominated for worst actor, while Secretary of State-designate Condoleezza Rice got a nomination for worst supporting actress and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for worst supporting actor. Wilson said that while "Fahrenheit 9/11" was a piece of anti-Bush propaganda, the president and his associates earned their Razzie nominations on their own. "It wasn't Mr. Moore's editing," Wilson said. "It's the raw footage of these people...

Marlon Brando may have possessed the greatest talent of any American actor of the past 100 years, but for most of his career, he wasted that talent. Charley Malloy: Look, kid, I -- how much you weigh, son? When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn, and that skunk we got you for a manager, he brought you along too fast. Terry Malloy: It wasn't him, Charley, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night....

<p>In a virtual sweep of the awards that "honor" the worst of the very worst in Hollywood -- a sort-of anti-Oscar, the Jennifer Lopez-Ben Affleck mega-flop was accorded the Golden Raspberry on Saturday as worst film of the year.</p> <p>And in an almost unprecedented wash, "Gigli," the first on-screen collaboration for the couple, whose overhyped engagement went down in flames, mowed down the competition in all the top categories.</p>

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Tom Green needs all five fingers to count the number of movie booby-prizes he received for ``Freddy Got Fingered.'' His much-reviled comedy was named worst picture of last year on Saturday at the Golden Raspberry Awards, an annual spoof held on the eve of the Academy Awards. Green also was chosen as worst actor and director for ``Freddy Got Fingered,'' shared the worst screenplay award with co-writer Derek Harvie and was cited for worst screen couple — ``Tom Green and any animal he abuses.'' Green became the first actor in the 22-year history of the...
