Â
Whoa, back up a second! Ben Kingsley was nominated for War, inc. WTF?! He was hilarious in that movie! Normally the Razzies are right on, but they totally missed the mark on that one.
I loved War, Inc. I’m gonna go buy the DVD now so I can watch it again.
Its somewhat unfair to pick Paris Hilton as worst actress. (I can’t believe I’m defending that no talent bitch but here goes.) Paris at least has the excuse of being little more then an amateur actress, and a drugged out one at that. Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz and even Jessica Alba are professionals and that makes their performances comparatively worse than PH’s.
