You gota give Halle Berry credit...she showed up in person to receive

[joeybee12]

her Razzie for Worst Actress for her role in Catwoman! I think she's got a great sense of humor--she handle Adrian Brody's kiss pretty good, too.

[CatWoman]

1. did Bush show upto accept his too?

"Catwoman" won worst picture and worst actress for Berry as well as worst director and screenplay.

Bush was named worst actor for Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" documentary and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld won worst supporting actor and worst screen couple went to Bush and either Condoleezza Rice or "My Pet Goat," the book he was reading to kids during the 9/11 attacks.

2. He wanted to

but they wouldnt guarantee him a syncophantic audience

[joeybee12]

14. Ain't that the truth!

[joeybee12]

3. So, are you still getting residuals from the movie?

;-)

No, Bush didn't show up. Apparently the only other person to receive one in person was Tom Greene a few years back!

[CatWoman]

7. heh -- found a link to the story

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/4301783.stm

[joeybee12]

15. Good link...thanks...but is that a Yes or a No to my question!?!

[CatWoman]

20. hahahahahaha

smart ass!!

[joeybee12]

22. I guess I'll never know!

:cry:

[CatWoman]

30. ok, ok

I'm not getting residuals, ok??

:D

[joeybee12]

33. Those damn Hollywood suits!

They'll screw you over every time! You need to get yourself a good lawyer!

[CatWoman]

34. wanna volunteer?

:D

[joeybee12]

37. Not a lawyer--but be sure to call on me as a character witness...

Let me begin, I have known Catwoman, this 65-year-old white woman for many years....

[CatWoman]

38. well, my case has been blown out of the water

:D

[Angry Girl]

4. Wow!

I may have to start actually respecting her now!

[Tom_Foolery]

6. Me, too...

I find that kind of humility very impressive.

[joeybee12]

10. Yeah, scary isn't it!

I like it when celebs don't take themselves too seriously--it's a rarity.

[Jack Rabbit]

5. I saw that on the BBC site this morning

She's a good sport. It was a bomb and she probably knew it was going to be a bomb while working on the set.

You go girl!!

[joeybee12]

9. Yeah, she made a few million off it, so why not just enjoy it!

[bigwillq]

8. Halle has class!

I'm glad she showed up. Didn't see that movie but heard it sucked really badly.

[joeybee12]

13. You know, I'm not sure I even want to see it just to see how bad it is...

...there are some movies that are so bad they're good (Plan 9 from Outer Space, for example), but some bad movies that are just bad. I think Catwoman probably falls into the later category.

[renegade000]

19. the way i see it

in general:

bad movies with really low production values/costs = funny
bad movies with high production values/costs = just bad

[joeybee12]

21. Probably true--and that really applies to Bonfire of the Vanities....

...they spent a fortune on that stinker.

[joeybee12]

16. Hey, and a very Happy Birthday to you!

:party: :toast:

[Midlodemocrat]

11. I like her a lot.

But for the life of me, I can't figure out why she won the Oscar. I thought Monster's Ball was awful.

[joeybee12]

12. Didn't care for that movie, either... had the feel of a movie that thinks

it's better than it is.

She was decent in it, I thought, deserving of a nomination, but maybe not the win. She has Billy Bob Thornton to thank--he's brilliant, and actors/actresses when they play opposite brilliance, they bring up their game a notch. Kate Hepburn rubbed off on every person she worked with--look at all the people around her who got Oscars when they worked with her!

[Midlodemocrat]

17. You might be right. I really didn't get the movie at all

all the ravings about it, :shrug: Seemed like a soft porn flick to me.

[joeybee12]

18. The friend I saw it with raved and raved about it afterwards....

...didn't see what he thought was so great. Pretty predictable stuff.

[HeyManThatsCool]

23. Didnt Tom Green show up a few years back

to accept for Freddy Got Fingered?

lol

[joeybee12]

24. Yes, he did!

[Atlas Mugged]

25. Ironic...

...in the truest sense of the word - considering her hit and run incident of a few years back.

But I agree, it was a impressive of her to show up and actually accept it. And before any flames start, I do like her.

[joeybee12]

26. My take on that hit and run...which I think she handles poorly...was that

she wasn't actually driving...it was her boyfriend, who became her husband, who she's now divocring. I hear he has a drug problem, and if he had admitted to driving, he would have probably been tested and lost of stuff found in his system.

[Atlas Mugged]

35. I hadn't heard about that part.

Well, despite the divorce, which can't be pleasant, she seems to be doing all right.

[Shadowen]

27. What I find interesting is her reasoning for showing up.

"When I was a kid, my mother told me that if you could not be a good loser, then there's no way you could be a good winner."

That shows someone who's more than willing to admit when she's wrong, or to roll with the punches.

[terrya]

28. Good for her!

I didn't think the winners showed up to pick up their Razzies. Yeah...she's got a nice sense of humor. :-)

[Skittles]

29. it has completely changed my opinion of her!

I am VERY impressed - I hope she sets a standard. Hollywood goes overboard with the awards ceremonies - they need to acknowledge the stinkers too

[CatWoman]

31. Skittles is such a grouch!!!!!

:hi:

[Skittles]

36. lol - yeah, I am always grouchy when I wake up

gotta get ready for work now :(

[Taverner]

32. That puts her in the same group as Tom Green

The two were the only two whoever accepted their Razzies in person. Ever.
