The Razzie Award ceremony took place in Santa Monica on Saturday, where gongs were given out for the worst films and onscreen performances over the last year.


A year after his Academy Awards dream went up in smoke, Eddie Murphy has not just one consolation prize, but three: Razzie Awards as worst actor, supporting actor and supporting actress for the comedy "Norbit". The fourth acting "dis-honour" announced at Saturday's Golden Raspberry Awards went to Lindsay Lohan, who actually was voted two worst-actress trophies for the thriller "I Know Who Killed Me", the worst-picture winner in which she played dual roles. "I Know Who Killed Me" set a new Razzies record with eight awards, including worst screen couple for Lohan in her double role.

Topping the previous record of seven Razzies for both "Showgirls" and "Battlefield Earth", "I Know Who Killed Me" also won for worst director, Chris Sivertson, screenplay, Jeff Hammond, horror movie, and remake or rip-off.

Razzies organizers viewed it as a cross between torture flicks such as "Saw" and a twisted update of "The Patty Duke Show". With his latest exercise in multiple roles, Murphy was the first person ever to win three acting Razzies in one year. He won as worst actor for the geeky title role, supporting actress as his tubby, shrewish wife and supporting actor as a stereotyped Asian man.

Some awards watchers say "Norbit" cost Murphy an Oscar, landing in theatres shortly before last year's ceremony and potentially displeasing enough academy voters that the balloting went against him for "Dreamgirls", for which he had been the supporting-actor favorite. Murphy lost at the Oscars to Alan Arkin for "Little Miss Sunshine".

The Razzies ceremony at a magic shop in Santa Monica came a day before Sunday's Oscars, where "Norbit" ironically is up for the best-makeup prize against "La Vie En Rose" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End." Between them, "Norbit" and "I Know Who Killed Me" won all but one of the Razzies. The remaining prize still had a Murphy connection, with worst prequel or sequel going to Cuba Gooding Jr.'s "Daddy Day Camp", a follow-up to Murphy's "Daddy Day Care".

Lohan was nominated twice as worst actress, and the Razzie vote wound up in a tie between her separate roles as a small-town girl abducted by a psychopath and an alter ego, a stripper who's missing body parts. "For her sake, I hope she had not read the screenplay for 'I Know Who Killed Me', that her agent just negotiated for her, and whoever that agent was, I would get rid of him," Wilson told AP Television, commenting on Lohan winning the worst actress title.
