But you gotta love the fact that after Moore spent all that cash and time to get nominated - he bottomed out and didn't make it... he he he - good day indeed!

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Fur flew in Hollywood as Halle Berry's disastrous movie "Catwoman" led the nominations for the worst movie of 2004, but hit unexpected competition from worst actor nominee George W. Bush in the annual "Razzies" awards.
The comic book spinoff starring the Oscar-winning beauty picked up seven nods for "Razzies," Tinseltown's dishonourable counterbalance to the Oscars, nominations for which were set to be unveiled on Tuesday.
Berry and supporting stars Sharon Stone and Lambert Wilson were singled out for their dire performances, while the film also won ignominious nods for worst picture, worst director, worst screenplay and worst screen couple.
"Catwoman" however is not a shoo-in for this year's stinkers, as Oliver Stone's overblown and bloated sword-and-sandals epic "Alexander" was in hot pursuit with six nods from the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation.
The film, panned by many critics, snagged nods for worst picture, worst director, worst screenplay, worst actor for Colin Farrell, worst actress for Angelina Jolie and worst supporting actor for Val Kilmer.
But joining Farrell in the race for worst actor was an unlikely contender: __US President Bush__ for his cameo "role" in Michael Moore's scathing political documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11." [WRONG!!]
Incoming US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice got a worst supporting actress nomination for her "performance" in the film [WRONG!!], as did singer Britney Spears, who appeared chewing gum and urging unquestioning support for Bush.
Coming in behind "Alexander" in the race for the 25th annual Razzies were 2004 screen duds "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2," Ben Affleck (news)'s abortive comedy "Surviving Christmas" and the Wayans brothers' slapstick offering "White Chicks."
Actor Ben Stiller scored a worst actor nod for his work in no fewer than five films last year: "Along Came Polly," "Anchorman," "Dodgeball," "Envy" and "Starsky and Hutch."
The winners of the annual dishonours will be announced at a not-so-glittering awards ceremony in Los Angeles on February 26, a day ahead of the annual Academy Awards.
But unlike the Oscars, the unlucky winners of the Razzies seldom show up to claim their inaugust gold spray-painted plastic awards in the form of a raspberry, which organisers say are worth as much as 4.97 dollars.
Razzie founder John Wilson mails ballots to 650 film professionals, film journalists and film fans in 40 states and 15 countries asking them to pick the embarassed nominees.
Yearly awards given to worst films of year; announced day before Oscar nominations and presented day before Oscars
''Halle's so beautiful, and I wanted to kiss her. I said, 'How can you have us in the movie and not have us kiss? It's such a waste.' But that's what you get for having George Bush as president.''
Sharon Stone
Good thing nobody made a film with clips of Kerry...
his impressions of JFK I, Audie Murphy and Elmer Fudd were really grim.
mmmmmmmm halle barry
Either the article is a spoof, or someone is unclear on the concept.
I see a new industry developing starring public figures in fictitious roles, epics made for the express purpose of of nominating them for the razzies.
Fortunately, that sharp edge knife cuts both ways.
Do the adolescents really want to go there?

Don't nobody be bustin' on Xanadu!
I kind of found it amusing that they nominated Bush for worst actor. He does have a habbit of stumbling over words in public appearances, and politics likely does involve a good bit of acting.
Nominating Bush and Rice and tying it to Farenheit 9/11 is stupid and is giving credit to Moore where none is due.
If you want to nominate a worst actor from that film, Moore would be the obvious candidate. The only ones that find him credible in that movie are the brainwashed zealots that can't figure out the truth for themselves.
