'Basic Instinct 2' tops Razzie list
The Sharon Stone-starrer receives seven nominations, including a surprise nod for the star's breasts.
Jan 23 2007
This year's Razzies appear to be a straight race between inexorable serial killer sequel 'Basic Instinct 2' and Wayans brothers 'comedy' 'Little Man', both of which received seven nominations.
The two terrible flicks take on 'BloodRayne', 'Lady in the Water' and 'Wicker Man' in the worst film category, while stars Sharon Stone and Marlon and Shawn Wayans are nominated in the worst actor categories.
The Razzies celebrate the worst achievements in film, and there were no shortage of contenders in 2006, from Ron Howard's incompetent direction of 'The Da Vinci Code' to M Night Shyamalan's desperately bad performance in 'Lady in the Water'.
This year the Razzies have a new category – 'Worst Excuse for a Family Film' – where Tim Allen flick 'The Shaggy Dog' will do battle against Tim Allen flick 'Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause' for the dubious honour.
And in the worst screen couple category, sisters Hilary and Haylie Duff are collectively nominated, as are Sharon Stone's breasts.
For a full list of nominees, head here. The 27th Annual Razzies will be handed out at Hollywood's Ivar Theatre on February 24, and we'll have news of all the losers here.
