I agree with everything but Ben Stiller...I thought he was great!

Anchor man was awful and everyone in it should be ashamed but the acting was okay.

Catwoman & Fahrenheit 9/11 "Win" Razzies
Source: Golden Raspberry Award Foundation
February 26, 2005

Halle Berry's berry bad Catwoman and several political figures, including President George W. Bush dominated Hollywood's Least-Coveted Trophy ceremonies as "winners" of The Gala 25th Annual Razzie® Awards were announced the now-traditional 24 hours before the Oscars® at the historic Ivar Theatre in Hollywood.

Opening with the splashy production number "Lame!" (sung to the tune of 1980's Oscar® winning Best Song "Fame") this year's Razzie show was a 90-minute parody of award shows in general and the Academy Awards® in particular. Complete with presenters in tuxedoes and evening gowns and bitingly vicious real critics' quotes on each of the nominees, The Silver Anniversary of the Golden Raspberry Awards proved to be a memorable comic evening.

In addition to Worst Picture and Halle Berry as Worst Actress, Catwoman also took spray-painted gold as Worst Director (A single-named French auteur-of-the-awful called Pitof) and Worst Screenplay.

Hoisting her Academy Award in one hand and newly won Razzie in the other, Halle Berry reveled in a career low point. "Omigosh, oh my God," Berry gasped Saturday night, feigning excitement. "I never in my life thought that I would be here, winning a Razzie. It's not like I ever aspired to be here, but thank you."

Berry, who wore a simple black dress, explained to the Associated Press why she showed up at the ceremony. "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," she said. However, she added, "I hope to God I never see these people again!"

Nipping at Catwoman's heels, and also "winning" four trophies, was Michael Moore's Bush-bashing documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. Razzie Foundation members chose to do some Bush-bashing of their own, dis-honoring the current President with Awards for Worst Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role and, paired with either Condoleeza Rice or His Pet Goat, as the year's Worst Screen Couple. Both supporting Razzies also went to "Fahrenheit," with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld swiping Worst Supporting Actor and Bubble-Headed Bubble-Gum Pop Princess Britney Spears getting her second Worst statuette for a brief but hilarious clip in which she espouses blind faith in Bush's policies while loudly popping chewing gum and wearing an obvious (and slightly askew) blonde wig atop her head.

And California's current governor Ah-Nuld Schwarzenegger finally "won" a Golden Raspberry as Worst Razzie "Loser" of The First 25 Years – eligibility for which was determined by having amassed the most nominations over the years without previously "winning" a statuette. There were also categories dis-honoring The Worst Comedy, Drama and Musical of the Last 25 Years, as well as Worst Remake or Sequel of 2004. A complete list of "winners" can be found below.

The Gala 25th Annual Razzies® celebrated both the Awards' having reached the quarter century mark, and the publication of Foundation founder John Wilson's new book, "The Official Razzie Movie Guide". "Winners" were determined by mailing ballots to about 675 film professionals, film journalists and film fans from 40 U.S. states and 15 foreign countries. The Razzie Award itself is an intentionally cheapjack tchotchke featuring a golf-ball-sized, handcrafted Razzberry atop a mangled Super 8 film reel that's spray-painted gold. It has an estimated street value of $4.97.
