The Razzie Winners


In an unprecedented awards-show sweep, Lindsay Lohan tied herself to win this year's Worst Actress. The Golden Raspberry Foundation crowned her over the weekend for playing two parts in the amnesia thriller I Know Who Killed Me. The film won a record eight Razzies -- surpassing the previous Razzie record-holder, the universally derided Showgirls for statuesque badness -- including Worst Picture, Worst Remake or Rip-off and the new dis-honor, Worst Excuse for a Horror Movie.

Lohan's twin roles also earned her the final insult of Worst Screen Couple. In this year's other unprecedented sweep, Eddie Murphy took home every other big acting win. He was named Worst Actor for the title role in Norbit, and claimed the entire supporting-star category with Worst Supporting Actress as Norbit's female foe "Rasputia," and Worst Supporting Actor as the sassy Asian sidekick "Mister Wong." In a Murphy-related dis-honor, his spin-off film Daddy Day Camp, starring Cuba Gooding Junior, went was named this year's Worst Prequel or Sequel.
