It takes a lot more talent to be a really good actress, than just being physically well endowed.

True! So basically, she was just being herself, which I don't considered as acting.

Why do people keep mentioning her acting? As far as I recall, nobody in this thread has said that she was a good, or even decent actress.

It is obvious Tom Cruize and Katie Holms had Razzie nominations mostly through the bizarre relationship they having with each other, rather than the performances they put into their movies in 2005.

While Katie Holms could be deemed a weak link in the excellent cast line up Batman Begins, she was far from terrible and the criticism directed at her was a tad excessive.

Tom Cruise put a decent performance in the flawed and uneven War of the Worlds. I think the Razzies have abandoned their true credibilty and satirical touch a good half-decade ago.

I disagree. It's all relative. While no one really expects quality acting from a $200,000 self-produced indie (though we are often surprised), we do expect it from someone demanding a million bucks or two and is in a studio blockbuster. Katie Holmes simply stank up every scene she was in by her lack of ability and/or effort.

By contrast, Tom Cruise's nomination is a joke. While he's a buffoon in real life, he's been a good-to-excellent actor in everything he's done.

Katie Holmes doesn't deserve to be anywhere near this list. Perhaps she was nothing special in Begins, but she wasn't bad.

And I don't care what anyone says, Bewitched was a cute movie.

Katie Holmes deserves to be near the top of the list for the Razzies. The girl simply can't act on an "A" level. Surrounding her with a cast such as Batman is only going to make her shortcomings as an actress stand out even clearer.

Razzie Awards - The worst of 2006

I did a search, but didn't see anything on these nominations.

http://www.razzies.com/history/27thNoms.asp
“Little Man” and Sharon Stone’s “Basic Instinct 2 ” lead
with seven nods each, “Bloodrayne ,” “Lady In The Water ,”
“Wicker Man” also Worst Picture nominees.

Any honest Academy member will admit that Oscar voters are dealing with slim pickings for 2006. But at the other end of the quality scale, voters for this year's 27th Annual RAZZIE® Awards had literally dozens of deserving contenders to choose from. And choose they have…and RAZZ the nominees they will, in ceremonies to be held at 7:30pm/PST on Oscar eve, Saturday, February 24 at Hollywood's Ivar Theatre.

Heading the dis-honor roll of Worst Achievements in Film this year are a lascivious murder mystery that turned out to be a laugh riot, and a comedy nearly as devoid of laughs as SCHINDLER'S LIST: Sharon Stone as a "femme fatale" The L.A. Times called "footloose and panty-free" in BASIC INSTINCT 2 and Shawn and Marlon Wayans in their brother Keenan Ivory Wayans' blatant knock-off of a 1954 Bugs Bunny cartoon, LITTLE MAN. Each racked up 7 shots at the spray-painted gold statuettes no one in Hollywood really wants to "win." Joining these films in the final circle as Worst Picture nominees are M. Night Shyamalan's brain-dead bedtime story (and box office dud) LADY IN THE WATER, Oscar winner Nicolas Cage donning an unconvincing bear suit in the laugh-out-loud funny remake of the Australian thriller WICKER MAN, and a film helmed by the man many Internet users consider the worst director alive today, Uwe Boll's BLOODRAYNE.

The Wayans brothers and Cage will be competing for Worst Actor of 2006 against last year's "winner" Rob Schneider in BENCHWARMERS, former TV funnyman Tim Allen, with a trio of terrible titles (SANTA CLAUSE 3, SHAGGY DOG and ZOOM) and Larry the Cable Guy (Dan Whitney) as Larry the Cable Guy in LARRY THE CABLE GUY: HEALTH INSPECTOR. Vying with Stone for Worst Actress will be repeat offender Jessica Simpson (nominated this year for EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH), teen-idol (and terrible role model) Lindsay Lohan in JUST MY LUCK, newcomer Kristanna Loken in BLOODRAYNE and spelling-challenged risible siblings Hilary and Haylie Duff in MATERIALS GIRLS. Other well-known names and former Oscar darlings getting dinged with Golden Raspberry nods for 2006 include Ben Kingsley, Martin Short and Danny DeVito competing as Worst Supporting Actor, and RAZZIE® regulars Jenny McCarthy and Carmen Electra competing with LOST star Michelle Rodriguez, Kristin Chenoweth and Kate Bosworth (as an ultra-lame Lois Lane in SUPERMAN RETURNS) for Worst Supporting Actress. This year's newest RAZZIE® category salutes the dearth of quality G and PG rated movie fare in 2006: Nominated as Worst Excuse for Family Entertainment are DECK THE HALLS, GARFIELD 2, RV, SANTA CLAUSE 3 and SHAGGY DOG. Links to the complete list of nominees are on the left column of this page.

The RAZZIES® were created in 1980 by lifelong cinemaniac and cynic John Wilson, author of both THE OFFICIAL RAZZIE® MOVIE GUIDE and EVERYTHING I KNOW I LEARNED AT THE MOVIES. Nominees were determined by mailing ballots to 737 Golden Raspberry Foundation members throughout 42 US states and more than a dozen foreign countries. Should they choose to accept their RAZZIES® "winners" receive a gold-spray-painted, golf-ball-sized raspberry atop a mangled super 8 film reel, with an estimated street value of $4.97. For more information on the RAZZIE® Awards, and their ill-lustrious history, please visit www.razzies.com.

The only one of those movies I saw all year was DaVinci Code, but surely there must be a worse director than Ron Howard.

I've seen 3:

Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause
The Da Vinci Code
Superman Returns



Maybe I'm an ass, but I liked all 3.

I think Lady in the Water is getting a bad shake here. It wasn't great, but if Shyamalan's name wasn't on it there wouldn't be nearly the outrage. I also really liked Superman Returns, but this list always throws some popular movies on there just to get people upset and talking about it.

It looks like the Razzies are finally getting back on track a bit. I don't see as many of those goofy nominations that they've done in the past few years, the ones that seem to be jokes within themselves rather than just lampooning bad movies/performances.

I haven't seen Lady in the Water, but the only knock on Superman Returns I can see here is Kate Bosworth. And that nom makes sense in the sense that a lot of people thought she was woefully miscast (or just plain awful) as Lois, and thus one of the film's biggest weaknesses.

I agree with most of those. I liked Jessica Simpson in Employee of the Month, though.

But come on, people...Ron Howard for The DaVinci Code????

Superman Returns was not bad, but Kate Bosworth's performance as Lois Lane is definitely worthy of a Razzie.

given how much screen time of her's is Lois getting thrown and bashed around, her character development was pretty non-existent.

I agree with the Ron Howard sentiment. The Razzies should get their own Razzie for nominating him. The DaVinci Code is well-directed, whether you like what Howard did with the source material or not.

The "nominations" this year were better than last year.

I hope Wicker Man wins, it's easily one of the most laughably bad movies of 2006.

I totally agree with the Little Man nominations. I thought it looked funny from the previews. Boy, was I wrong...

They always do crap like that. Maybe they figure no one would pay enough attention to them if they really picked the absolute stinkers in each category ... needing more high profile people.
