Getting the jump on the Oscars by about 24 hours,
the Razzie nominations were announced this morning
at a lavish ceremony featuring multiple Hollywood stars and
live media coverage via a press release and a website update. Leading the pack of those with multiple nods for
their less-than-stellar work this year was
Tom
Cruise, who is in the running for both worst actor (for hanging out with
Dakota Fanning in
War of the Worlds) and - twice - in a new, highly competitive category, Most Tiresome Tabloid
Targets. Also recognized three times are
Jenny
McCarthy (turns out Roger Ebert wasn't the only one who
really, really hated Dirty Love) and
Jessica
Simpson, who's not only a tabloid annoyance but also - just maybe, the year's worst supporting actress.
The best thing about the Razzies (which, naturally, will be handed out the day before the Oscars) is that we,
the huddle masses, get to decide who wins! All it takes is $15 to become a voting-only member of the
The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation - and, really, isn't that a small
price to pay to hate on Tom Cruise in an official capacity? Love Tom? Well, what about Jenny McCarthy? See? It's pretty
damn tempting.
