star news, Golden Raspberry, Sharon Stone, Basic Instinct
Sharon Stone really didn't do herself any favors by reprising her role as femme fatale Catherine Tramell for Basic Instinct 2.
The erotic thriller flopped mercilessly at the box office and has now been nominated for seven Golden Raspberries, including in the categories of Worst Film and Worst Leading Actress. Sharon Stone can already call a golden raspberry her own: In 1994 there was the humorous award for the films "The Specialist" and "Intersection".
"Basic Instinct 2" was also nominated in the Worst Movie Couple category for Stone's "crooked breasts."
There were also seven nominations for the comedy "Little Man", in which a thief pretends to be a baby. Sisters Hilary and Haily Duff share a Worst Actress nomination. They starred together in Material Girls.
The fantasy adventures "BloodRayne" and "Lady in the Water" as well as the thriller "The Wicker Man" starring Nicolas Cage were also nominated in the "Worst Film" category.
With the "Golden Raspberry", a kind of counter-Oscar, the worst performances in the film industry have been mocked since 1980. Hollywood star and Oscar winner Halle Berry is one of the few who accepted the award in person. She was named Worst Actress in 2005 for her portrayal of Catwoman.
The winners will be announced on February 24th, traditionally the day before the glamorous Oscars.
