LOS ANGELES, U.S - Actors Lindsay Lohan and Eddie Murphy led nominations on Monday for the 'Golden Raspberry' awards, singling out Hollywood's worst movie performances from the past year.
The organisation which runs the light-hearted annual Oscars spoof nominated Lohan for a 'Razzie,' as the award is affectionately called, for her starring role in 'I Know Who killed Me,' a horror film which she plays psychically connected twins.
The critic-panned flick also received Razzie nominations as 2007's worst picture, screenplay, director and worst screen couple - for Lohan's turn appearing opposite herself in the film.
Lohan, 21, made her name appearing in such popular movies as 'The Last Show,' 'Mean Girls' and 'Freaky Friday,' but has had a dry spell of critically acclaimed performances coinciding with her recent appearance in the tabloids and at exclusive detoxification centres.
Meanwhile, Eddie Murphy received a record five Razzie nods in one year for his politically-incorrect 'Norbit,' about a nerd who meet the love of his life, but who rather inconveniently is married to another woman - also played by Murphy - who happens to be grossly obese.
The veteran funnyman was dishonoured with nominations for worst actor, supporting actor, actress, worst on-screen couple, and worst screenplay.
Murphy had received a best supporting actor nomination last year for his supporting role in 'Dreamgirls,' but some observers said his hopes of winning were torpedoed by his association with the dreadful 'Norbit' project.
Other nominees for the un-coveted Razzies award, which was created in 1980, included 'Bratz' and 'Daddy Day Camp' for worst picture, and 'Silence of the Lambs' sequel 'Hannibal Rising' in the new category 'Worst Excuse For A Horror Movie.'
Recipients of the Razzies rarely show up to collect their prize: a gold spray-painted plastic statuette in the shape of a raspberry, which organisers say are worth as much as US$4.89 (S$7.08).
