BEIJING, Feb. 26
(Xinhuanet) -- "Basic Instinct" may not always be reliable, especially when it
comes for a second time, as the Razzies may help Sharon Stone know.
"Basic Instinct 2," the belly-flopped sequel to
1992's "Basic Instinct," swept 27th Annual Razzie Awards Saturday night with a
leading four awards, including the Worst Picture, in Hollywood's annual Oscars
parody.
Nine-time nominee Sharon Stone was named Worst
Actress for her poorly presented physical assets as well as her performance in
the box office clunker, giving her a third gold-spray-painted raspberry along
with the two she picked up in 1995 for The Specialist with Sylvester Stallone.
"Baisc Instinct 2" -- known to Razzie organizers as
"Basically, It Stinks, Too" -- was also dishonored with worst screenplay and
worst prequel.
Razzies founder John Wilson described the convoluted
and decidedly unsexy "Basic Instinct 2" as a film that "had no reason to exist."
Right behind "Instinct 2" with three Razzies was the
Wayans brothers comedy "Little Man," which won worst actor (for Marlon and Shawn
Wayans), worst screen couple (for Shawn and Marlon Wayans or Kerry Washington)
and worst remake or rip-off. "Little Man" was called a rip-off of a 1954 Bugs
Bunny cartoon.
Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, a Hollywood darling a
few years ago with blockbusters as "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs," was named
worst director and worst supporting actor for his fantasy flop, "Lady in the
Water."
Carmen Electra won worst supporting actress for her
work in "Date Movie" and "Scary Movie 4."
Robin Williams' road-trip comedy RV was chosen as
worst excuse for family entertainment.
Wilson, who hosted the show, admitted coming to this
year's dishonors with some disappointment.
Longtime Razzie mainstay Sylvester Stallone, who has
a lifetime 30 Razzie nominations and 10 wins, missed out on nominations this
year because his latest film, "Rocky Balboa," "didn't always suck," said Wilson.
