Halle Berry’s berry bad CATWOMAN and several political figures, including President George W. Bush dominated Hollywood’s Least-Coveted Trophy ceremonies as “winners” of The Gala 25th Annual RAZZIE® Awards were announced the now-traditional 24 hours BEFORE That Other Award Show: 7:30pm/PST Saturday, February 26 at the historic Ivar Theatre in Hollywood.
In addition to Worst Picture and Halle Berry as Worst Actress, CATWOMAN also took spray-painted gold as Worst Director (A single-named French auteur-of-the-awful called “Pitof”) and Worst Screenplay.
The Gala 25th Annual RAZZIES® celebrated both the Awards’ having reached the quarter century mark, and the publication of Foundation founder John Wilson’s new book, THE OFFICIAL RAZZIE MOVIE GUIDE. “Winners” were determined by mailing ballots to about 675 film professionals, film journalists and film fans from 40 U.S. states and 15 foreign countries. The RAZZIE Award itself is an intentionally cheapjack tchotchke featuring a golf-ball-sized, handcrafted RAZZberry atop a mangled Super 8 film reel that’s spray-painted gold. It has an estimated street value of $4.97.
