Worst films named and shamed
Whilst stars in Hollywood eagerly await nominations for the Oscars, some will not be too impressed with their Golden Rasberry honour.The Razzies - the spoof Oscar ceremony that celebrates the worst in film-making - will be held on February 24, a day before the Oscar awards are given.Sharon Stone may have hit stardom years ago with her original version of Basic Instinct, but the sequel bombed at the box office and is now up for top honours at the 27th annual Golden Raspberry Awards.Basic Instinct 2 received seven nominations, tying with the unfunny comedy Little Man, made by the Wayans brothers, for the most nominations at the Razzies.Basic nominations came for worst picture, actress, supporting actor, director, sequel, screenplay and screen couple while Little Man earned nominations for worst picture, remake/rip-off, director, screenplay, screen couple and two different nominations for worst actor.John Wilson, who heads the group that spoofs the Oscars by celebrating the year's worst films, called Stone's movie "a lascivious murder mystery that turned out to be a laugh riot," and he dubbed Little Man "a comedy nearly as devoid of laughs as Schindler's List."Also up for the worst movie competition was M. Night Shyamalan's fantasy Lady in the Water, The Wicker Man, starring Nicolas Cage and BloodRayne, a bloodless vampire movie directed by Uwe Boll, who is hailed on the internet as one of the world's worst directors.Competing with Stone in the worst actress category are sisters Hilary and Haylie Duff for Material Girls, Lindsay Lohan for Just My Luck, Kristanna Loken for BloodRayne and Jessica Simpson for Employee of the Month.Other well-known names competing for Razzie awards are Ben Kingsley, Martin Short and Danny DeVito competing as Worst Supporting Actor.© Independent Television News Limited 2007.
