Best of the worst
The anticipation is nearly killing us. It's just days away but we're not sure how we'll fill the time (the sleepless nights!) between now and then.
We speak, of course, of the Razzies, the anti-Oscars held the day before The Big Show, back-to-back with the other anti-Oscars, the Spirit Awards. Oh, what a glorious Saturday in Santa Monica.
Gold Derby's Tom O'Neil gets to the ego-skewering heart of the Razzies with its founder John Wilson, who will be forever scarred by that "Xanadu" and "Can't Stop the Music" double feature that he quickly regretted plunking down 99 cents to see.
It was either that experience or watching some 250 movies in a single year back in the '80s when he worked at a trailer house that caused Wilson to mastermind the Razzies. Over time, it's swept up such film luminaries as Pia Zadora, very sore winner Ben "Gigli" Affleck and good sport Halle "Catwoman" Berry.
This year's top nominees: Eddie Murphy and Lindsay Lohan.
Watch the video of O'Neil and Wilson here, and since it's a faux-holiday, watch the "Mommie Dearest" clip too. Always good for a laugh.
