Anime Otaku Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 LOS ANGELES - Hoisting her Academy Award in one hand and newly won Razzie in the other, Halle Berry (news) reveled in a career low point. "Omigosh, oh my God," Berry gasped Saturday night, feigning excitement. "I never in my life thought that I would be here, winning a Razzie. It's not like I ever aspired to be here, but thank you." Berry was named 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 worst. President Bush (news - web sites) 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 Rumsfeld was voted worst supporting-actor for "Fahrenheit 9/11," while Britney Spears (news)' fleeting cameo in the documentary brought her the worst supporting-actress award. Razzies founder John Wilson said the prizes were not meant to mock Moore's film, only the statements Bush and the others make while "putting their highly paid, highly skilled feet in their mouths repeatedly and sucking on them." Berry, one of several Oscar-winning actors to be dishonored by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation, was the first actor to accept a Razzie in person since Tom Green (news) did so for his part in 2001's "Freddy Got Fingered." Berry, who wore a simple black dress, explained why she showed up at the ceremony. "When I was a kid, my mother told me that if you could not be a good loser, then there's no way you could be a good winner," she said. However, she added, "I hope to God I never see these people again!" 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 received the most nominations without ever winning a Razzie. His latest loss also came Saturday, to Rumsfeld in the supporting category, in which Schwarzenegger was nominated for "Around the World in 80 Days." Chosen by about 675 voters, 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 (Pitof) and screenplay. Wilson relishes savaging perpetual winners such as Sylvester Stallone and Madonna (news - web sites). In the case of Berry, Wilson felt sympathy, saying "Catwoman" was simply the result of a misguided career move. "Don't get us wrong. She's a very talented actress, a very beautiful woman, who just made a mistake," he said. "We're not trashing Halle Berry as a human being. We're only saying, we're so sorry you chose to do this." Since we are getting close to the oscars i thought i'd add this to the mix too, Its quite classy of Halle Berry to actually show up and get the 'award' i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 It was good of Halle to show up! :lol I agree. I mean she is a big hollywood star who earns millions, it must take a lot of balls to show up at an event where you will be shown as a "loser" and where people will laugh at you and ridicule you. I have some new-found respect for Halle Berry, its not very often you would find someone like her at the Razzies :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Otaku Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 you got my PM then Kam :P and yeah it is great that she showed up, then again i also like when you watch the oscars and once in a while one of the ones that doesn't win an oscar goes into a huff LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.C. Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 More of the speech: "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." Is it just me or does that make her look like an idiot? Unable to say "No" to the big pile of cash the studio offers? Unable even to read the script before agreeing to make the film? Berry is an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Otaku Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 meh we all make decisions we regret... would you call Ultimo Dragon an idiot for example heheh :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.C. Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 meh we all make decisions we regret... would you call Ultimo Dragon an idiot for example heheh :D Hell no, but Ultimo Dragon wasn't involved in a hit-and-run the same year as winning an Oscar - this is my main reason for Berry-hate. Plus, Ultimo Dragon wouldn't have been presented with a script in along with his contract. He was guaranteed £X plus whatever extra he can get from merch and gate and he's earned that.

Jung Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I think Berry was just meaning light heartedly as a joke, I don't think she was putting blame on to her agent, to take it off herself. Don't see what all the fuss is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
