Pierce Brosnan lumped with `Worst Supporting Actor` Razzie
âThe Love Guru,â after bombing at the box office last summer, had insult added to those injuries Saturday as the Mike Myers comedy was crowned worst film of 2008 at the Golden Raspberry Awards, the annual tongue-in-cheek event that plays counterpoint to the Oscars by celebrating the cheesiest of what Hollywood has to offer.
But wouldnât you know it? Myers couldnât even reign supreme there without professional celebrity Paris Hilton shouldering in on the action.
While Myers was (dis)honored with Razzies for worst actor and worst screenplay (with Graham Gordy), Hilton stole the limelight by grabbing three: as worst actress for âThe Hottie & the Nottie,â as worst supporting actress for âRepo: The Genetic Operaâ and as part of the worst screen couple (with either Christine Lakin or Joel David Moore, take your pick) in âThe Hottie & the Nottie.â - reports the
LA Times.
Ex-James Bond star Pierce Brosnan got shot down for exercising his musical chops in âMamma Mia!,â earning the worst supporting actor nod; âIndiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skullâ was selected worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel; and Uwe Boll not only was named worst director (for â1968: Tunnel Rats,â âIn the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Taleâ and âPostalâ) but also received a worst career achievement award that dubbed him âGermanyâs answer to Ed Woodâ â a reference to the director of such classic film oddities as âPlan 9 From Outer Spaceâ and âGlen or Glenda?â
The 29th edition of the Razzies, at the Barnsdall Gallery Theatre in Hollywood, was presented by Golden Raspberry founder John Wilson, based on ballots sent to about 650 film professionals, journalists and fans.
