01.30.2006 The Razzies are announced

The Razzie Award nominations were announced today, the awards given to the worst movies and performances from Hollywood for the past year. “Son of the Mask” was the big winner with 8 nominations, including Worst Movie and Worst Actor for Jamie Kennedy. The other worst-picture contenders are “Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo,” Jenny McCarthy’s “Dirty Love,” “The Dukes of Hazzard” and “House of Wax”.



Tom Cruise was nominated for Worst Actor for “War of the Worlds”, along with Will Ferrell for “Bewitched” and “Kicking & Screaming,” The Rock for “Doom” and Rob Schneider for “Deuce Bigalow.”



McCarthy also earned a nod for Worst Actress in “Dirty Love” and will compete against Jessica Alba in “Fantastic Four” and “Into the Blue,” Hilary Duff for “Cheaper by the Dozen 2″ and “The Perfect Man,” Jennifer Lopez for “Monster-in-Law” and Tara Reid for “Alone in the Dark.”



And no list of incompetence would be complete without Paris Hilton, who was nominated as Worst Supporting Actress for “House of Wax” and also for Most Tiresome Tabloid Target. I was gonna wrap up this post with a few Paris Hilton pictures, but then I remembered that I would rather look at pictures of shark attack victims than Paris Hilton. At least shark attack victims don’t look like that on purpose.
