Even the most jaded celebrity is usually pleased to be up for an award, but Madonna, Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez are crossing their fingers that they don't win honors at the 23rd annual Razzie Awards, which celebrates the absolute worst in the year's films.
Madonna leads the pack with four nominations: Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple (with Adriano Giannini) for "Swept Away," and Worst Supporting Actress and Worst Original Song for "Die Another Day." Hubby Guy Ritchie is up for Worst Director and Worst Screenplay for "Swept Away."
Britney has been nominated for Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple (with Anson Mount) for "Crossroads," and Lopez picked up two Worst Actress nominations for "Enough" and "Maid in Manhattan."
Madonna, Spears and Lopez will be competing in the Worst Actress category with Winona Ryder for "Mr. Deeds" and Angelina Jolie for "Life or Something Like It."
Nominees for Worst Actor are Roberto Benigni for "Pinocchio," Adriano Giannini for "Swept Away," Eddie Murphy for "Adventures of Pluto Nash" and "I Spy," Steven Seagal for "Half Past Dead" and Adam Sandler for "Adam Sandler's 8 Crazy Nights" and "Mr. Deeds."
The 2003 Razzie celebration will take place at the Four Points Sheraton hotel in Santa Monica, California, on February 22. The ceremony was created in 1980 by John Wilson, the author of "Everything I Know I Learned at the Movies." Nominees were chosen by 537 Golden Raspberry Award Foundation members in 38 states and a dozen countries.
Unfortunate Razzie winners will receive a golden raspberry glued to a mangled, gold-painted reel of Super 8 film. No nominees are expected to attend the non-televised event.
