Lohan Snags Record Eight Golden Raspberries
Dual Worst “Actress” Winner Unable to Leave Drug Rehab Center to Accept Award
In the midst of this weekend’s Oscar hoopla, another film awards ceremony took place - one that is equally important, equally significant, and equally prestigious (lie, lie, and another lie). The 28th annual Golden Raspberry Awards were handed out on Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles and the big winner was “Actress”, “Rock Sensation”, and perennial drug rehab center attendee, Lindsey Lohan and her pseudo-horror gore-porn stinker I Know Who Killed Me.
Lohan’s “movie” was nominated and won in a record eight categories, edging out previous box-office poison Showgirls, and John Travolta’s scientology-based flop, Battlefield Earth.
I Know Who Killed Me garnered awards for Worst Picture, Worst Remake or Rip-Off (Rip off of Hostel, Saw, and The Patty Duke Show), Worst Director (Chris Siverston), Worst Screenplay (Jeffrey Hammond), Worst Excuse for a Horror Movie (New Category, created in honor of the “film”).
Lindsey Lohan also picked up three of the spray-painted statuettes for her “acting” performance(s) in I Know Who Killed Me. Worst On-Screen Couple was given to Lohan and Lohan for her portrayal of two sisters who are separated at birth and then tortured while wearing skimpy clothes.
Additionally, and for the first time in Razzies history, there was a tie for Worst Actress. Lindsey Lohan tied with Lindsey Lohan for her portrayal of two sisters who are separated at birth and then tortured while wearing skimpy clothes.
Unlike Halle Berry did a few years ago, Lindsey Lohan did not show up to accept her awards in person. Her whereabouts were unknown at the time of the ceremony, but in all likelihood, she was unable to check out of her drug rehab center in order to accept the award in person.
Other awards handed out at the 28th Annual Razzies were:
- Worst Actor - Eddie Murphy as Norbit in Norbit
- Worst Supporting Actress - Eddie Murphy as Rasputia in Norbit
- Worst Supporting Actor - Eddie Murphy as Mr. Wong in Norbit
- Worst Prequel or Sequel - Daddy Day Camp (Sequel to Daddy Day Care)
Eight Razzies will be hard to beat, but as long as Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton are still allowed to make “movies,” nothing is impossible.
Is it too early for me to suggest that The Hottie and the Nottie might already be the front-runner for the 2009 awards?
