Halle in tears again... for worst actress 14:00pm 27th February 2005 Halle Berry as Catwoman
Catwoman: Claws out for film flop Most Hollywood stars fail to appear at awards ceremonies if they haven't won, but actress Halle Berry surprised the showbiz world by turning-up in person to collect a gong for worst actress.
Berry was named worst actress of 2004 by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation for her performance in Catwoman and she showed up to accept her "Razzie" carrying the Oscar she won in 2002 for Monster's Ball.
"They can't take this away from me, it's got my name on it!" she quipped. A raucous crowd cheered her on as she gave a stirring recreation of her Academy Award acceptance speech, including tears.
She thanked everyone involved in "Catwoman," a film she said took her from the top of her profession to the bottom.
"I want to thank Warner Brothers for casting me in this piece of s***," she said as she dragged her agent on stage and warned him "next time read the script first."
It is rare for a Razzie winner to show up at the spoof awards held on the night before Oscars - but Berry did, saying her mother taught her that to be "a good winner you had to be a good loser first." She received a standing ovation.
Catwoman tied with Fahrenheit 9/11 by winning four Razzies - worst picture, worst directing, worst screenplay and worst performance by an actress for Berry and her "berry bad" work.
Bush bashing
John Wilson, founder of the nonprofit Golden Raspberry Award Foundation that gives out "Hollywood's least coveted trophies," said Moore's anti-Bush documentary allowed the foundation's nearly 700 members to do some Bush bashing of their own.
The president not only was named worst male actor in a leading role, he also won for being half of the year's worst screen couple when paired with either Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice or "My Pet Goat," the book he was reading to schoolchildren on the morning of September 11.
Footage of Bush continuing to read after being given first word of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was one of the key scenes in Moore's highly critical film. . Winners receive a golf ball-sized figure of a Raspberry atop a mangled Super 8 film reel that is spray-painted gold. It has an estimated street value of £3, although Wilson said costs were rising as Super 8 film reel cans are getting harder to find.
Unless you've seen her X-Men, you don't know what a slap in the face is.
If she showed up in person to claim the Razzie, and had her Oscar in hand, I think it looks as though she has *issues*. And she probably feels as though the Razzie is in part an attack on her (personal) sexual appeal versus other Hollywood women (which is always a VERY competitive *cat fight*,) as the role of Catwoman is all about the bod and the role's sexuality.
As far as her acceptance of her Oscar...she went WAY over the top. WAY.
Just my opinion. And she has exhibited a spoiled and privileged attitude before in her HIT AND RUN, which left someone in need of immediate medical help. Halle didn't care....
They love you for your body Halle-you are just so dang sexy, they don't even notice your acting talents.
When you are old and wrinkled, maybe those shallow minded dodos will notice your brain. (just kidding....well sort of kidding.)
I was trapped on a flight from Mexico back to America when I saw this film. I liked it for two reasons: Halle is easy on the eyes, and someone should've kicked the sh*t out of Sharon Stone a decade ago, LOL!
They just don't make Movie Stars like they used to, do they? I wish the Info-tainment Industry would go back to the days of glam and stardust and creating interesting and glamorous lives for their stable of stars. It's an industry founded on Make Believe anyway, so what's the harm?
Her mother is white.
Heh.... She's a good sport!

Give it a rest. You are the first and likely only one to mention race, it's not in the article.
Halle looks like a finger pointer to me. Nobody forced her to take the role, act it as she did, and take the money. I think that her behavior makes her look so bad.

TRASH
Exactly what I was thinking.
Ditto and bump.
"You know, I'm going to start thanking
the woman who cleans the restroom in
the building I work in. I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being"
She can "purr" for me, anytime.
I agree 100% but which side is constantly bringing it up?
She thanked everyone involved in "Catwoman," a film she said took her from the top of her profession to the bottom.
"I want to thank Warner Brothers for casting me in this piece of s***," she said as she dragged her agent on stage and warned him "next time read the script first."
Really? What about reading the script yourself, Halle? You probably got paid more for that POS than I will make in the next ten years (if not more). Those who think this was a standup move on her part are wrong--she is just trying to play the victim here. Blame the agent, Warner Bros, the director--anyone but her. Excuse me if I don't cry any tears for her. She need to take more responsibility for her own actions and career.
You gals are being a little hard on Halle, aren't you? The only thing I can think of that could make her look bad to us guys, would be for her to announce that she is a lesbian. Even then we would all be volunteering to help cure her of that. (Just having fun with this, I don't watch the Oscar show, nor do I care which Hollywoodite won what or for what they won what.)
I agree 100% but which side is constantly bringing it up?
The side that wants to keep thing stirred up. Al Sharpton and Jesse come to mind.
I don't care WHAT color a person's skin is. That is irrelevant to me. I just wish everyone would get past this color business.
oh yeah...thats more like it!
Checkmate :~D
That said, I think Halle is one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.
