Britney Spears, Madonna Dishonored With Razzies
Pop Stars Tie For Worst Actress
POSTED: 9:24 p.m. EST March 22, 2003
The Madonna movie bomb "Swept Away" swept the 23rd annual Golden Raspberry Awards in Santa Monica, Calif., Saturday, with five dishonors including Worst Picture, Worst Director for Madonna's husband, Guy Ritchie, and Worst Remake or Sequel.
Madonna at least got to share the pain for the "Swept Away's" other two awards. Adriano Giannini was named along with his co-star for Worst Screen Couple, and thanks to the coming-of-age road movie disaster "Crossroads," pop star Britney Spears tied with Madonna for Worst Actress.
According to The Associated Press, Razzie founder John Wilson said he always votes last and cast the ballot that tied Madonna and Spears for Worst Actress.
"They are equally wretched," said Wilson who would not reveal which actress he voted for. "They admire each other, and they can have each other."
Madonna's third Razzie Saturday came with being named Worst Supporting Actress for the James Bond flick "Die Another Day." That boosted Madonna's career Razzie total to nine, which ties her with Sylvester Stallone.
"She's not even in the movie for two minutes, but she's so awful in that one scene, that for the whole rest of the movie, you cannot forget that your eyes and ears have been assaulted with the stupidity of her appearance," Wilson said of Madonna's role as a fencing instructor.
"Crossroads" was a double "winner" at the Razzies, although the second award wasn't a direct-hit on Spears. Instead, Max Martin, Rami and Dido Armstrong won for Worst Original Song for "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" from the film.
Life wasn't so beautiful for "Pinocchio" star Robert Begnini at the Razzies Saturday, as he was named Worst Actor for his role in the film -- with an annotation on the award said that the Italian actor's role was "Dubbed GODZILLA-Style by Breckin Meyer."
Other "winners" at the Razzies included Hayden Christensen for his role as the teen Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones." The film also nabbed the Razzie for Worst Screenplay, which was written by George Lucas and Jonathan Hales.
A new award this year, Worst Flatulent Teen-Targeted Movie, went to the controversial MTV show turned feature "Jackass: The Movie."
The Razzies are voted on annually by about 500 members. Nominations always come the day before the Oscar nominations, and the dishonors are announced the day before the Oscar ceremony.
