Lindsay Lohan Film Earns 8 Razzie Awards

As the big stars gear up for the Sunday night Oscars showdown, many of the industry's less-touted films are having their moment in the sun a day early, when both the independent Spirit Awards and the notorious Golden Raspberry Awards (a.k.a. "The Razzies") hit California stages.As one of the sassiest award shows, the Razzies announced Hollywood's worst for the 28th consecutive year at 10 a.m. Pacific time on Saturday.
The day's big "winner" was "I Know Who Killed Me," a suspense film starring Lindsay Lohan that's been pummelled by reviewers since its July 2007 release.Earning the worst picture award, it also won Razzies for worst actress, worst screen couple, worst remake or rip-off, worst director, worst screenplay, and the awards' newest category, worst excuse for a horror movie."Nominated individually for each of her characters (in "I Know Who Killed Me"), Lindsay 'won' a pair of Worst Actress statuettes when she received the same number of votes for both roles," said the Razzies' website.
"For a scene in which she appears opposite herself at the film's finale, Lohan was also Razzed as the year's Worst Screen Couple."The event was held at Santa Monica's Magicopolis, a magic show venue that bills itself as the best birthday party location in Los Angeles.Topping this year's list of "berry bad movies":
"I Know Who Killed Me"
Eddie Murphy's "Norbit," won worst actor, worst supporting actor and worst supporting actress, all for roles played by Murphy
"Daddy Day Camp," winning the award for worst prequel or sequel
Meanwhile The quirky coming-of-age comedy "Juno" cleaned up at the Film Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday afternoon as it continues its Cinderella season going into Sunday night's Academy Awards."Juno" won for best feature film, best actress honors for Page and best first screenplay for Cody at the awards show held Saturday afternoon under a tent alongside the sand in Santa Monica. Page and Cody are also nominated for Oscars, along with director Jason Reitman.Earlier, actress Cate Blanchett dedicated her best supporting actress award to the late performer. The very-pregnant Blanchett, who won for playing a man in the film, said in accepting the award that Ledger "was probably one of the most beautiful independent spirits of all."
