Halle’s Berry Bad CATWOMAN, Oliver’s Stoned Epic ALEXANDER Lead 25th RAZZIE® Noms as 2004’s Worst A Complete LIST of All Nominees Appears Below This Text An Oscar® winner calamitously miscast as a cartoon character and a big budget epic that managed to be both historical and hysterical led the pack as Golden Raspberry Award Foundation members revealed their choices for 2004’s Worst Achievements in Film. Contenders for The Gala 25th Annual RAZZIES® were unveiled for the first time in a press conference celebrating both the Awards’ having reached the quarter century mark and the publication of Foundation founder John Wilson’s new book, THE OFFICIAL RAZZIE MOVIE GUIDE. In addition to CATWOMAN with 7 nominations and ALEXANDER with 6, this year’s Worst Picture list also includes the inexplicable, astoundingly unfunny sequel SUPERBABIES: BABY GENIUSES 2, Ben Affleck’s snowball-from-Hell yuletide “comedy” SURVIVING CHRISTMAS and the Wayans Brothers’ creepy, cross-dressing reverse-blackface farce WHITE CHICKS. Vying alongside Halle Berry for Worst Actress are Hilary Duff for CINDERELLA STORY and RAISE YOUR VOICE, Angelina Jolie for both ALEXANDER and TAKING LIVES and two pairs of risible siblings, Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen for NEW YORK MINUTE and The Wayans “Sisters” for WHITE CHICKS. Besides Colin Farrell’s comically intense portrayal of ALEXANDER, the Worst Actor field also features last year’s “winner” Affleck for both SURVIVING and JERSEY GIRL, Vin Diesel in CHRONICLES of RIDDICK, Ben Stiller (setting a new record with FIVE titles) and one of several political figures garnering RAZZIE nods this year, President George W. Bush as himself in FAHRENHEIT 9/11, for which performance he is also nominating as Worst Screen Couple paired with either Condoleeza Rice and/or His Pet Goat. For their appearances in FAHRENHEIT, both Rice and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld got Supporting nominations. And California’s current governor Ah-Nuld Schwarzenegger is also nominated as Worst Supporting Actor for his cameo as “Prince Hapi” in Worst Remake contender AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS. “The Uber-Nator” is also one of the contenders for a Special Commemorative RAZZIE as one of five Worst RAZZIE “Losers” of The First 25 Years – eligibility for which was determined by having amassed the most nominations over the years without ever actually “winning” a statuette. There are also categories dis-honoring The Worst Comedy, Drama and Musical of the First 25 Years. A complete list of nominations is included in this press release. Nominees were determined by mailing ballots to more than 650 film professionals, film journalists and film fans from 40 U.S. states and 15 foreign countries. Often called Tinsel Town’s tackiest Trophy, the RAZZIE Award itself is an intentionally cheapjack tchotchke featuring a golf-ball-sized, handcrafted RAZZberry atop a mangled Super 8 film reel that’s spray-painted gold and has an estimated street value of $4.97. Ceremonies will be held the now-traditional 24 hours BEFORE That Other Award Show: 7:30pm/PST Saturday, February 26 at the historic Ivar Theatre in Hollywood.

I haven't seen a single movie in that first post in its entirety. I've seen.... parts... of Showgirls. And parts of Mommie Dearest, for slightly different reasons. I would like to see Anchorman and Dodgeball at some point.
Ugh, don't bother with Dodgeball. I'm all for mindless humor. Old School was great. But Dodgeball should be avoided at all costs. Haven't seen Anchorman, so I can't comment on it.
I'm a huge Will Farrell fan, but I thought Anchorman was pretty bad. The Rottentomatoes.com percentages for Worst Movie: Alexander - 14% White Chicks - 12% Catwoman - 9% Surviving Christmas - 7% Superbabies: BG2 - 0% I'm gonna go with a Surviving Christmas upset over favored Catwoman in this category.
The wild part was I rented this off of this boards recommendation. I mildly snickered exactly twice, and was bored to tears through the rest of it. Please divulge the funny parts. I didn't see them. And I watched the edited stuff , too.
If you didn't find it funny the first time, I doubt me rehasing my favorite parts would either. Humor's completely subjective, so I can't blame you for not liking it, I just know you're crazy. Well, I knew that, this just reiterated it.
That's what I found perplexing. I usually find these kind of movies entertaining, especially with Vaughn. Hell, maybe watching that idiotic Extreme Dodgeball made it not so funny to me. Oh well. Time to watch Billy Madison again. Now that's good Dodgeball!
I thought White Chicks was funny I think Catwoman should win...it looked like crap ever before coming out
Freddy Got Fingered as one of the worst comedies of the last twenty years? Blasphemy. I don't think I've EVER laughed more from another movie. Tom Green is a comedic genius.
How did Ben Stiller get nominated for Anchorman? Anyone who thought the character should have been played in a more serious manner needs to get their head checked. Anchorman is a movie to be seen by people who don't have sticks up their asses.
