Love Guru, Paris Hilton are Big Winners at 2009 Razzie Awards
posted February 22, 2009 - 8:57amParis Hilton was a one-woman train wreck and Mike Myers stunk up the joint with "The Love Guru" as both of them won three awards at the Golden Raspberry Awards (the "Razzies"), honoring the worst movies and stars.
Hilton managed to cop three acting awards, including worst actress for Hottie & the Nottie" and worst supporting actress awards for "Repo: The Genetic Opera." She was also awarded worst screen couple. And she could be extra proud of "Hottie & the Nottie" - she was executive producer as well as star!
According to CNN, "Hottie & the Nottie" cost $2 million to make, yet earned only $27,000 at the box office. Ouch.
For Mike Myers, the former Saturday Night Live cast member who was once a bankable star for movies like "Wayne's World" and the Austin Powers series, "The Love Guru" represented perhaps a new low in his career. The movie won three Razzies, with Myers proving himself a triple threat with awards for worst actor, worst picture, and worst screenplay.
The Love Guru" must have seemed like a good idea to a lot of people, because Myers managed to attract top-level names like Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake, Jim Gaffigan, Stephen Colbert, Oprah Winfrey, Ben Kingsley, Jessica Simpson, and even real-life guru Deepak Chopra to appear in the movie.
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" took home the trophy for "worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel." Pierce Brosnan won worst supporting actor for his singing in "Mamma Mia."
