Eddie Murphy and LindsayLohan were crowned the worst actors of 2007 at the Golden
Raspberry Awards on Saturday and, perhaps not surprisingly, neither star showed up to accept the spoof Oscars.
For their lack of acting prowess, the veteran comic and the young actress with the hard-living reputation each won three gold spray-painted Razzie trophies worth $4.89 each.
The annual honours were announced by the Golden Raspberry
Foundation at a presentation that pokes fun at the Academy Awards ceremony that is to be held on Sunday.
In a camp opening number, Dan Campbell and Paula Einstein donned ’50s dresses and black “beehive” hairdos and sang: “The worst of last year are trembling with fear,” and throughout the show clips were shown of the biggest Hollywood howlers of 2007.
Murphy, who starred in the critically savaged comedy “Norbit,” set a record by winning three of the four worst acting categories. Despite bad reviews, moviegoers had turned out for the film, which took in $158 million at worldwide box offices based mostly on Murphy’s popularity.
