The
24th Annual RAZZIE®
Awards "WINNERS" Announced
For Immediate Release
‘GIGLI’
Really Wows
RAZZIE® Voters
Although it
fell one statuette short of the record 7 “wins” racked
up by all-time champions SHOWGIRLS and BATTLEFIELD EARTH, the Bennifer
Box Office Blowfest GIGLI set an impressive new record of its own
at Saturday’s 24th Annual RAZZIE® Awards,
dis-honoring 2003’s WORST Achievements in Film. It’s
six award sweep of Tinsel Town’s Tackiest Trophy Derby make
GIGLI the equivalent of IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT – The first
film ever to take ALL SIX “top” RAZZIES®: Worst
Picture, Worst Actor (Ben Affleck), Worst Actress
(Jennifer Lopez) and Worst Screen Couple (Affleck
& Lopez combined) as well as Worst Screenplay and Worst Director
(both the work of Triple-Crown “winner” Martin
Brest, who also co-produced the film). As usual, no “winners”
were expected to be in attendance when envelopes were opened and
results revealed in The Penthouse Suite of the 4-Points/Sheraton
Hotel in Santa Monica, California.
Stopping GIGLI
from collecting every award given were two RAZZIE® stalwarts.
All-Time RAZZIE® Cham-Peen Sylvester Stallone
beat out GIGLI Supporting Actor nominees Al Pacino
and Christopher Walken to set a new record of his
own: a staggering 30 nominations and 10 “wins.” Another
long-term RAZZIE® target took the OTHER Worst Supporting award
from GIGLI nominee Lainie Kazan: Two-time Worst
Actress “winner” Demi Moore not only
“won” Worst Supporting Actress, but her “comeback
vehicle” CHARLIE’S ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE was also picked
as Worst Remake or Sequel. Landing with a resounding ker-splat in
the litter box next to these box office duds was the RAZZIE®
voters’ choice in a new category, Worst Excuse for an Actual
Movie, the over-hyped, hopelessly tasteless Mike Myers
version of THE CAT-IN-THE-HAT, which entered the competition with
an impressive 8 nominations. Also presented in the one-hour ceremony
satirizing Hollywood award shows in general (and the Oscars®
in particular) was a Special Governor’s Award for Distinguished
Under-Achievement, given to Travis Payne, whose
choreography for Worst Picture nominee FROM JUSTIN TO KELLY was
deemed too amusingly awful to go un-dissed.
“Winners”
were determined by mailing ballots to 617 Golden Raspberry Award
Foundation members throughout 39 U.S. states and 15 foreign countries.
The award itself is a handcrafted gold spray-painted golf-ball-sized
raspberry atop a mangled reel of Super 8 film, with an estimated
street value of $4.89. The RAZZIES® were created in 1980 by
John Wilson, a life-long cynic and Cine-Maniac
as well as the author of both EVERYTHING I KNOW I LEARNED AT THE
MOVIES and the up-coming Warner book THE OFFICIAL RAZZIE® MOVIE
GUIDE, scheduled for release to tie-in with next year’s 25th
Annual RAZZIE® Awards.
