Halle Berry won an Academy Award. Now she's won a Razzie. George W. Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger won elections. Now they've won Razzies. Miss Berry was picked yesterday as worst actress for 2004's action bomb "Catwoman," which also took the prize for worst film at the 25th annual Razzies, an Oscar spoof that trashes Hollywood's low points. Mr. Bush won the worst-actor award for his appearance in news and archival footage of Michael Moore's satiric documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11." Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was voted worst supporting actor for "Fahrenheit 9/11," while Britney Spears' fleeting cameo in the documentary brought her the worst supporting actress Razzie. Razzies founder John Wilson said the prizes were not meant to mock Mr. Moore's film, only the statements Mr. Bush and the others made while "putting their highly paid, highly skilled feet in their mouths repeatedly and sucking on them." Mr. Schwarzenegger, who gave up Hollywood to become California governor, was chosen worst Razzie loser of the first 25 years, a special prize given to actors who had received the most nominations without ever winning a Razzie. His latest loss also came yesterday, to Mr. Rumsfeld in the supporting category, in which Mr. Schwarzenegger was nominated for "Around the World in 80 Days." Chosen by about 675 voters around the world, Razzies also were awarded for worst films of the group's first 25 years: drama, "Battlefield Earth"; comedy, "Gigli"; and musical, "From Justin to Kelly." Other 2004 Razzies went to "Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed" for worst sequel, and "Catwoman" for worst director and screenplay.

You have to give the guy that came up with the "Razzies" some credit. He has made a mint off a bunch of morons.
All the way to the White House Ba-Bb!
Well, here's a big purple finger for Mr. Wilson. Suck on that, moron.
Sick people, they cant get Bush off their minds even with their joke awards.
Like I say Haile Berry at least deserved this award. She never deserved the Oscar.
A fat slob glutton who's stock has tanked since the November elections.
Razzie organizers = bitter losers.
What about Ben Affleck?
They do seem obsessed don't they? It's not a healthy thing, perhaps just medicating themselves for the next four years would work. Or do they already do that?
And this is in the article, too:
Mr. Bush won the worst-actor award for his appearance in news and archival footage of Michael Moore's satiric documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11." Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was voted worst supporting actor for "Fahrenheit 9/11,"
So they were given awards because of the way Michael Moore cut and pasted their remarks?
GW Bush won more that a razzie: he won the election. Somehow, I think little else matters at this point. People who wannabe important always shrink into nothingness alongside someone who really is.
Actually everyone in Hollywood is a "Worse actor". The only ones who aren`t are the ones who A. Made it on their own without any help from nepotism, AKA mommy and daddy or B. Didn`t get their careers because they look like models. Think about it. All the extrememly good looking ones and the ones from nepotism suck.
For example in the nepotism dept...see if you can find any on this list who have really blow you away on the level of acting as much as say Robert Deniro, Tom Hanks, Bogie, Meryl Streep, or Louise Fletcher ....There are no mind blowing actors on this list, none that have "gone that extra mile"..They all go through the motions then mostly complain.
Gweneth Paltrow daughter of Blythe Danner and director Bruce Paltrow, or Ben Stiller son of Jerry Stiller, or Sean Astin son of Patty Duke and John Astin, or Drew Barrymore Granddaughter of actor John Barrymore and daughter of John Drew Barrymore, or Julia Roberts sister of Eric Roberts, or Kate Hudson daughter of Goldie Hawn, or Michael Douglas son of Kirk Douglas, or all the spawns of Henry Fonda, or Nicholas Cage nephew of Francis Ford Coppola (Hey at least Nick changed his last name so he could "make it on his own" Cha right) or Angelina Jolie daughter of Jon Voight, or George Clooney nephew of Rosemary Clooney, or Sean Penn son of director Leo Penn, or Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen sons of actor Martin Sheen, or Melanie Griffiths daughter of actress Tippi Hedren, or Kate Beckinsale daughter of TV actress Judy Loe and actor Richard Beckinsale, or Robert Downey Jr, son of filmmaker Robert Downey, or Matthew Broderick, son of actor James Broderick, or Keifer Sutherland son of Donald Sutherland, or Mira Sorvino daughter of Paul Sorvino, or Liv Tyler daughter of Steven Tyler, or Mackenzie Phillips daughter of John Phillips, or Jamie Lee Curtis daughter of Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, or

Ms. Berry not only won a razzie but she had the graciousness and humility to attend and accept her award.
Halle in tears again... for worst actress
Pretty funny link
The worst actor last year was John Kerry doing his John Wayne in those Vietnam war era "heroic re-enactments".
The one thing we missed were the bandaids.
I dunno the hunter and gun enthusiast role that Hanoi John was cast in last year was pretty pathetic too.
Did that gungrabbing commie really think shootin a couple clays and a canned hunt or two would make people forget his dismal 20 year 2nd Amendment record?
Speaking of that, if this doesn't crack you up while watching it, you must be in severe pain.

Actually, regardless of heredity, I think he is an exceptional actor.
My nomination would have gone to Barbra Streisand for trying to act like a "living" human being.
