'Catwoman' Tops Razzie Nominations

The Golden Raspberry Foundation apparently doesn't have any warm and fuzzy feelings for Halle Berry's "Catwoman."

The superhero feline flop scratched out seven nods to lead the pack of nominations for the 25th annual Razzie Awards Monday, including dishonors for Worst Picture, Worst Actress for Berry and Worst Supporting Actress for Sharon Stone.

Also up for Worst Picture are "Alexander," the kid flick "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2," the holiday comedy "Surviving Christmas" and the cross-dressing comedy "White Chicks."

Joining Berry in the Worst Actress category are Hilary Duff for "A Cinderella Story" and "Raise Your Voice," Angelina Jolie for "Alexander" and "Taking Lives," Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen for "New York Minute" and Shawn and Marlon (the Wayans sisters) for their cross-dressing comedy "White Chicks."

Up for Worst Actor are Ben Affleck for "Jersey Girl" and "Surviving Christmas" (Affleck was the big "winner" last year for "Gigli"), Vin Diesel for "The Chronicles of Riddick," Colin Farrell for "Alexander" and Ben Stiller for "Along Came Polly, "Anchorman," "Dodgeball," "Envy" and "Starsky & Hutch."

President George W. Bush also earned a Worst Actor nomination for his archival footage appearance in Michael Moore's scathing documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Sharing in Bush's pain: Nominations for Worst Supporting Actor for Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Worst Supporting Actress for National Security Advisor Condeleeza Rice.

Britney Spears' brief appearance in the film, endorsing Bush's actions, earned the pop singer a Worst Supporting Actress nomination. Joining Spears, Rice and Stone in the category are Carmen Electra for "Starsky & Hutch" and Jennifer Lopez for "Jersey Girl."

Vying for the Worst Supporting Actor trophy against Rumsfeld are Val Kilmer for "Alexander," Jon Voight for "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2," Arnold Schwarzenegger for "Around the World in 80 Days" and Lambert Wilson for "Catwoman."

Up for the Worst Screen Couple Razzie are Bush and either Rice or His Pet Goat for "Fahrenheit 9/11," Affleck and either Lopez or Liv Tyler for "Jersey Girl," Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen for New York Minute, Berry and either Benjamin Bratt or Sharon Stone for "Catwoman" and the Wayans brothers (in or out of drag) for "White Chicks."

The nominees for Worst Director are Bob Clark for "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2," Renny Harlin and/or Paul Schrader for "Exorcist 4: The Beginning," Pitof for "Catwoman," Oliver Stone for "Alexander" and Keenan Ivory Wayans for "White Chicks."

Dishonored for Worst Remake or Sequel were "Alien vs. Predator," "Anacondas: Hunt for the Blood Orchid," "Around the World in 80 Day," "Exorcist 4: The Beginning" and "Scooby Doo 2," Monsters Unleashed."

The Worst Screenplay nominees contained more of the usual suspects: "Alexander," "Catwoman," Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2," "Surviving Christmas" and "White Chicks."

Nominees were determined by ballots from more than 650 film professionals, film journalists and film fans, from 40 U.S. states and 15 foreign countries.

Now in its 25th year, the Razzie nominations are always announced the day before the Academy Award nominations, and are handed out the day before the Academy Award ceremony. Apart from its regular awards, set for Feb. 26 in Hollywood, Calif., the Razzies will also dishonor "the worst" loser, comedy, drama and musical from the organization's first 25 years.

The Razzie award, as described on the foundation's official Web site in 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."
