Paris Up For 'Worst Actress'
Jan. 21 2009, Published 3:57 p.m. ET
Sure, the Oscars are close. But the Razzies are closer!
The nominations for this year's "worst of the worst" in movies were announced today, and as usual, the biggest names are dragged into it.
Mike Myers' The Love Guru swiped 7 nods (which isn't good), including worst picture and worst performance by not only Myers, but also co-stars Jessica Alba, Verne Troyer and even Oscar-winner Ben Kingsley. "I think people are tired of him in general," Razzies founder John Wilson said.
"He hasn't really made a good movie in quite some time."
Also competing for worst picture are Disaster Movie, The Happening, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, Meet the Spartans and The Hottie & the Nottie, starring Paris Hilton.
Paris is also up for worst actress and worst screen couple (with Joel David Moore).
Paris also earned a worst supporting actress nomination for her appearance in Repo! The Genetic Opera, which came out on DVD yesterday.
The Razzies will be presented Feb. 21... the day before the Oscars.
