Lindsay Lohan, Eddie Murphy lead race for Hollywood's worst
Actors Lindsay Lohan and Eddie Murphy led nominations for the "Golden Raspberry" awards, singling out Hollywood's worst movie performances from the past year.
Actors Lindsay Lohan and Eddie Murphy led nominations for the "Golden Raspberry" awards, singling out Hollywood's worst movie performances from the past year.
The organisation which runs the annual, light-hearted Oscars spoof, nominated Lohan for a "Razzie," as the award is affectionately called, for her starring role in
I Know Who killed Me
, a horror film in which she plays psychically connected twins.
The critic-panned flick also received Razzie nominations as 2007's worst picture, screenplay, director and worst screen couple -- for Lohan's turn appearing opposite herself in the film.
Lohan, 21, made her name appearing in such popular movies as
The Last Show
,
Mean
Girls
and
Freaky
Friday
, but has had a dry spell coinciding with her recent appearance in the tabloids and at a spate of exclusive detoxification centres.
Meanwhile, Eddie Murphy received a record five Razzie nods in one year for his politically incorrect
Norbit
, about a nerd who meets the love of his life, but who inconveniently happens to be married to a grossly obese woman, also played by Murphy.
The veteran funnyman was dishonored with nominations for worst actor, supporting actor, actress, worst on-screen couple, and worst screenplay.
Murphy had received an Oscar nomination last year for his supporting role in
Dreamgirls
, but some observers said his hopes of winning the award were torpedoed by his association with the
Norbit
project.
