Eddie Murphy Scores a Record Five Razzie Nods

"We decided that each of his characters [in
Norbit] was so offensive that he deserved individual nominations." So says John Wilson, founder of the Razzie Awards recognizing the worst in cinema. Also receiving more than one "acknowledgment" for the same flick was Lindsay Lohan, cited twice for her dual roles in
I Know Who Killed Me (which earned nine total Razzie noms, more than any other dud of '07). Besides
Norbit and
IKWKM, the contenders for worst movie of the year are
Bratz,
Daddy Day Camp and
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. Personally, I would've included Rob Zombie's incomprehensible
Halloween retread on this list, but I'm sure there were even lamer flicks. Suggestions?
The, ahem, winners will be announced the day before the Oscars. -
