Razzies' Odd Couple: Lindsay Lohan And Eddie Murphy
LOS ANGELES - Eddie Murphy and Lindsay Lohan were named the worst actors of 2007 at the Golden Raspberry Awards on Saturday for two movies that dominated the mock awards created to spoof the Oscars.
For their lack of acting prowess, the veteran comic and the young actress with the hard-living reputation each won three gold spray-painted Razzie trophies worth $4.89.
The awards are presented by the Golden Raspberry Foundation, which announced its winners one day before the sometimes pompous Academy Awards presentation ceremony.
Murphy, who starred in the critically savaged comedy "Norbit," set a record by winning three of the four worst acting categories. Still, moviegoers turned out for the film, which took in $158 million at worldwide box offices based mostly on Murphy's popularity.
Lohan won two worst actress awards for playing twins in "I Know Who Killed Me," a film that was named worst of the year.
She also won worst screen couple for a scene in which she appears opposite herself in the tale about psychically linked siblings stalked by a serial killer.
"I Know Who Killed Me," a major box office flop with $9 million worldwide, won eight of nine Raspberries for which it was nominated, breaking a record of seven wins previously held by "Showgirls" and "Battlefield Earth."
Lohan was in and out of rehabilitation programs last year and acknowledged last month that she had fallen off the wagon at a New Year's Eve party. In November, she served 84 minutes in jail for drunken driving and cocaine possession charges.
