Heading the dis-honor roll of Worst Achievements in Film this year are Sharon Stone as a femme fatale The L.A. Times called "footloose and panty-free" in Basic Instinct 2, and Shawn and Marlon Wayans in their brother Keenan Ivory Wayans? blatant knock-off of a 1954 Bugs Bunny cartoon, Little Man. Each racked up 7 shots at the spray-painted gold statuettes.
The Wayans brothers and Nicholas Cage (for Wicker Man) will be competing for Worst Actor of 2006, against last year?s winner, Rob Schneider (for Benchwarmers), former TV funnyman Tim Allen, with a trio of terrible titles (Santa Clause 3, Shaggy Dog and Zoom), and Larry the Cable Guy (Dan Whitney) as Larry the Cable Guy in Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector.
Vying with Stone for Worst Actress will be repeat offender Jessica Simpson (nominated this year for Employee of the Month), teen-idol (and terrible role model) Lindsay Lohan in Just my Luck, newcomer Kristanna Loken in Bloodrayne and spelling-challenged risible siblings Hilary and Haylie Duff in Material Girls.
Other well-known names and former Oscar darlings getting dinged with Golden Raspberry nods for 2006 include Ben Kingsley, Martin Short and Danny Devito competing as Worst Supporting Actor, and Razzie regulars Jenny McCarthy and Carmen Electra competing with Lost star Michelle Rodriguez, Kristin Chenoweth and Kate Bosworth (as Lois Lane in Superman Returns) for Worst Supporting Actress.
The Razzies were created in 1980 by lifelong cinemaniac and cynic John Wilson, author of both The Official Razzie Movie Guide and Everything I Know I Learned at the Movies. Nominees were determined by mailing ballots to 737 Golden Raspberry Foundation members throughout 42 US states and more than a dozen foreign countries. Should they choose to accept their Razzies, winners receive a gold-spray-painted, golf-ball-sized raspberry atop a mangled super 8 film reel, with an estimated street value of $4.97.
The ceremonies will be held at 7:30 pm PST on the eve of the Academy Awards, Saturday, February 24, at Hollywood's Ivar Theatre.
