Hilton, Myers top Razzies bill for year's worst

[blu-mike]

LOS ANGELES – Mike Myers' "The Love Guru" has found some disciples among Razzies voters who pick Hollywood's lowest achievements.

And Paris Hilton is getting her own Razzies moment with three awards all on her own at a ceremony that spoofs the Academy Awards on the eve of the Oscars.

"The Love Guru" won three Razzies on Saturday for worst picture, actor (Myers in the title role) and screenplay, which Myers co-wrote. Hilton's three prizes are worst actress for "The Hottie and the Nottie," supporting actress for "Repo! The Genetic Opera" and screen couple alongside either of her "Hottie" co-stars, Christine Lakin or Joel David Moore.

With three Razzies, Hilton tied the record set last year by Eddie Murphy, who won worst actor, supporting actor and supporting actress for his multiple roles in "Norbit."

Pierce Brosnan was chosen as worst supporting actor for "Mamma Mia!" The worst-director Razzie went to Uwe Boll for three movies: "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale," "1968: Tunnel Rats" and "Postal."

Razzies voters also gave a prize for worst career achievement to Boll, whose critically drubbed movies include "Bloodrayne" and its sequel.

"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" was named worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel.

John Wilson, founder of the Razzies, said Boll and Hilton's movies are so bad, he could envision a collaboration between the two.

"She is the 21st century Zsa Zsa Gabor. She is famous for who she hangs out with. She's not famous for any talent she has yet exhibited," Wilson said. "She may end up working with Uwe Boll. She could be the head vampire in `Bloodrayne 3.'"

"The Love Guru" features Myers as the world's second-best self-help guru, who must come to love himself before he can fully realize his potential. The movie topped out at $32 million at the domestic box office, chump change compared to the haul of Myers' "Austin Powers" sequels.

Wilson disagreed with other Razzies voters on "The Love Guru," saying that after watching it again to pull clips for the group's awards ceremony Saturday night, he did not think it was the year's worst movie.

"A couple of things he did got me to laugh, and these days, two laughs in a comedy is a high ratio," Wilson said.

In "The Hottie and the Nottie," Hilton plays a babe who won't date until her homely best pal lands a man. Hilton has a small role in "Repo," a horror musical about organ recipients who face a visit from the repo man if they fall behind on the payments.

"Repo" and "Hottie" combined did not even manage to take in $200,000 at the domestic box office.

Unlike many years, when one movie dominates, the Razzies were shared among a variety of flicks.

One voter joked that "we decided to spread the loathe around," Wilson said. "Everybody got kicked in the shin at least a little."

Eddie Murphy did it with one film though.

[P@t_Mtl]

Please get Indy 4 of this list

[ckent22]

I can understand why Indy 4 is there. It really has nothing to do with the other films at all.

[doctorsteve]

This stupifies me... The Love Guru is the only Meyers' movie that's made me laugh to the point of wanting to own it. Not Wayne's World, not Axe Muderer, no Austin Powers - NOTHING! I think all the early bad press about 'making fun of Indians' hurt it, combined with the general public not knowing anything about Indian culture.

Stupid general public! (grumble, grumble)

i definitely didn't think indy 4 was that great, but i also don't think it deserved a razzie....(or even a razzie nom for that matter)

i guess if you put it in perspective, there weren't many sequels/prequels last year anyways so indy 4 did stick out

[thedarkangel1975]

I agree with everything except Indy 4. Just like the newer Star Wars films, people were upset that they were not exactly like the originals, The Razzies belie they deserve Razzies. As for worst sequels, what about Anaconda 3?!?!

But not to Paris Hilton quality though.

[ryoohki]

LOL Indy 4 was exactly like the others.

The main story was about something that doesn't exist (except if you're extremely religious and beleive in those things)(The Arch with kill if you look at it, Human sacrifice by removing hearts in witch the victims stayed alive and finally the finding of the grall witch fix bodies and give eternal life, at a price). They had a Big Tall guy that didn't die, they had bigger than life action sequence.

If Indy 4 was something, is it was mostly more of the same, if 4 time is too much imho...
