Los Angeles (E! Online) - The Razzies exposed Lindsay Lohan.
Er, sorry, that was New York magazine.
The Razzies excoriated the young actress, dishonoring her and her box-office flop, I Know Who Killed Me, with a record eight spray-painted trophies, including Worst Picture.
Eddie Murphys Norbit notched three wins, with its star a one-man band in the acting categories, winning just about everything, including Worst Supporting Actress.
Between I Know Who Killed Me and Norbit, there was room to belittle only other movie. That fate befell Daddy Day Camp, the Murphy-less followup to Daddy Day Care, named Worst Prequel or Sequel.
In scoring, if thats the word, eight Razzies, I Know Who Killed Me displaced former bad-movie standard-bearers Showgirls and Battlefield Earth, which won seven each.
Compared to Showgirls and Battlefield Earth, two infamous, high-profile disasters, I Know Who Killed Me was a little film, quietly and quickly dying at the box office late last summer. Only Lohans drug-related arrest three days before its opening briefly put the critically dismissed movie in the spotlight.
But there is no such thing as flying below the Razzies radar. Some 750 voting members of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation piled it on I Know Who Killed Me. Among the films honors were: Worst Excuse for a Horror Movie, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and, owing to the groups belief that the movie was a badly played riff on Hostel, Saw and, um, The Patty Duke Show, Worst Remake or Rip-Off.
Lohan took her lumps, too. The two biggest: She was named Worst Actress and Worst Actress--once for playing a kidnap victim named Aubrey and once again for a stripper named Dakota, who looked like Aubrey.
The double role also left Lohan open for Worst Screen Couple.
Multiple characters were also Murphys downfall. The star, one year removed from his Oscar nomination for Dreamgirls, was dinged for playing his comedys title character (Worst Actor), its female antagonist (Worst Supporting Actress) and its Chinese father figure (Worst Supporting Actor). According to the Razzies, Murphy is the first to claim three of the four acting categories in a single year.
Unlike the other Razzie victims, Murphys Norbit at least was a commercial hit, pulling in nearly $100 million.
Star appearances at the Razzies are rare, and there was no word that either Murphy or Lohan personally collected their trophies at Saturdays day-before-the-Oscars ceremony in Santa Monica, California.
Naked opinion can be hard to hear.
