Lindsay Lohan, Eddie Murphy Sweep Razzies

BuzzSugar — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 16:37:30 -0800

Between Saturday's Independent Spirit Awards and Sunday's Oscars, it's a weekend for recognizing great films. But we can't be getting too lovey-dovey about the year's movies, can we? That's where the Razzies come in. The 28th annual Golden Raspberry Awards also announced their "winners" this weekend, taking a few folks down a peg.

The biggest smack-downs went to Lindsay Lohan and I Know Who Killed Me, which won a total of eight awards. Eddie Murphy and Norbit weren't immune, either, getting three of the $4.89 gold spray-painted trophies. With such dominance from those two movies, the only other film to sneak in was Daddy Day Camp, which got the nod for Worst Prequel or Sequel.

To see the full list of dubious honorees, just read more.

Razzie Nominations: Lohan, Norbit Among the Worst Offenders

BuzzSugar — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 10:30:40 -0800

A day before Hollywood recognizes its finest with Oscar nominations, the 28th annual Golden Raspberry Awards stepped up to call out the film world's worst. Lindsay Lohan's I Know Who Killed Me led all movies with nine nominations, but Eddie Murphy did LL one better, singlehandedly garnering five nominations (in four different categories!) for his multiple Norbit characters. That's a new Razzie record for one person, a dubious honor if ever there was one.

Coming in alongside those two films for the Worst Picture nomination: Bratz, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, and Daddy Day Camp. The Razzies themselves - classy $4.98 spraypainted statuettes - will be presented Feb. 23 in Santa Monica; I'm guessing a writers' guild picket line won't be an issue. For the complete list of nominees, just read more.
