I again have respect for Halle Berry

She showed up at the Razzies ceremony and accepted her award in person. Only the second person since Tom Green to do so. Now all she has to do is start reading the scripts she gets more thouroughly.

That's cool that she's self-aware of it's badness.

Can we expect a public apology for acting like a bitch with X-Men 3?

I'm not a fan of Halle's (acting wise, nothing personal) but I do give her props for showing up - that was a pretty decent thing to do, and can only lead to some good press for her.

That would be the third person. Paul Verhoeven accepted his award for Showgirls in person.

EDIT: That "since Tom Green" is a bit misleading. She'd be the first person since Tom Green. The Second since Paul.

Didn't Cosby show up one year? Maybe I'm wrong on that one...

I thought this was going to be out of respect for her performance in that new Oprah movie on the tv. Guess not.

How close are you to earning that "Deputy Moderator" cub scout badge?

She's probably the first that brought her Oscar with her, though.

I still don't have any respect for her.
She was singing the praises of Catwoman all through it's production up until it's release. Surely she knew the film was horrible yet like the money grubbing whore she is she did her part to promote the film and attempt to win a big opening weekend. Smells like a PR stunt to me...

That's all it takes to get you to respect someone?

You're not too familiar with filmmaking are you? That's what actor's do. It's part of the job. It doesn't have a thing to do with the quality of a movie. You take a multi-million dollar paycheck to star in a film, you get your sorry ass out there and promote it, regardless of how it turns out. The actors did it for Alexander, yet I don't see anyone slamming them for promoting the hell out of that turd. Actors do it for every film they're in. Actors are not responsible for telling you whether the film is good or not. That's your job.

Personally, I've never understood this instant hatred of an actor, simply because of some Oscar speech or starring in some shitty movie. I certainly don't know what Berry did, other than that, to make so many hate her.

That's a good sport move. I'm surprised and impressed. Didn't think she'd have it in her.

I know how the game works but Halle Berry and Catwoman need to be singled out as they especially blow. Hard. Her accepting the award is nothing more than another chance for press for a movie and an actress that doesn't deserve any ink whatsoever.

So basically, no matter what she does, she sucks? Do you still hate George Clooney for Batman and Robin, cause, well, that sucked as much as Catwoman.

Personally I think it was cool of her. I can tell you her showing up did a lot more for the razzies organization then it does for her.

Perhaps you should read more than just the posts that say "HaLlE SuXZz!!!!". There are some that actually explain why they don't like her. However, to expect them to repeat it in every single thread would be ridiculous.

That's not to say that there aren't some lemmings in the group..
