Unjustified instinct
Sharon Stone named worst actress of the year
While the bulk of the stars of the American film industry were putting their final polish on last weekend, preparing to step on the red carpet of the Hollywood and Highland complex, where yesterday the 79th Oscar was presented, the famous actress Sharon Stone learned that she had been awarded Golden Raspberry Award for his performance of the leading role in the film, named one of the worst last year. The winners of this anti-award are traditionally announced on the eve of the Academy Awards ceremony. And for obvious reasons, not all stars want to personally receive the audience antipathy prize.However, Hollywood can no longer simply ignore this antipode of the Oscars. The Golden Raspberry, of course, cannot boast of such a rich history as the Academy Awards, but the competition for the worst films of the year was held for the 27th time. And the leader in the category “Worst Picture of the Year” was “Basic Instinct 2” - the sequel to the erotic-melodramatic thriller of the 90s, which brought Sharon Stone worldwide popularity. However, it seems that this time instinct failed the actress, because both the idea of a continuation of the first film and its script were considered a failure. According to Golden Raspberry founder John Wilson, perhaps the only justification for filming the second part of Basic Instinct is the fact that Ms. Stone still looks good.
Worst Actress in a Supporting Role went to Carmen Electra for her work in two films at once - “Movie Date” and “Scary Movie 4.” And the main male roles in the film “Scamp” were failed by brothers Sean and Marlon Waynes. In addition, this film, based on the 1954 cartoon, turned out to be the “worst remake” of the last film season. Night Shyamalan's "The Girl in the Water" brought him two anti-awards - for worst director and for worst supporting actor. And in the category “Worst Frame for Family Viewing,” established for the first time this year, the film “Madhouse on Wheels” won, which even the famous comedian Robin Williams could not pull off.
It is noteworthy that this time the famous action movie hero of the late 1980s, Sylvester Stallone, managed to avoid being awarded the Golden Raspberry with his sixth film about the champion boxer Rocky Balboa. Mr. Stallone was nominated for the anti-award about 30 times and was awarded the “raspberry” 10 times for his mediocre acting and directing work. However, according to John Wilson, Stallone's latest film was enjoyed by judges in 12 countries - those who determine which Hollywood star gets the $5 crimson branch, gilded with spray paint.
We would like to remind you that at the end of 2005, the anti-prize was awarded to pop singer Britney Spears and Oscar winner Halle Berry, who, according to the Golden Raspberry jury, played an unsuccessful role in the film Catwoman. In addition, the “Worst Achievement in Cinematography” was discovered by US President George W. Bush, who became an unwitting participant in the film “Fahrenheit 9/11.” Previously, John Travolta and Madonna, along with their husband, director Guy Ritchie, also received the gilded branch.
