While the world waits to know about the best in cinema at the Oscars, the list of the worst performances of the year is out and the winners are - Paris Hilton and Mike Myers.
The Golden Raspberry Awards or Razzies, which started in 1980, honour the worst in Acting, Direction and films as a spoof to the Academy awards. They are announced on the eve of the Oscar ceremony.
Paris Hilton was the star of this year's Razzies by taking home not one, not two but three trophies for worst actress The Hottie and the Nottie, supporting actress for Repo! The Genetic Opera and worst screen couple alongside her Hottie co-stars, Christine Lakin and Joel David Moore.
Hilton tied up with Eddie Murphy, who was the winner of worst actor, supporting actor and supporting actress for his multiple roles in Norbit in 2008.
The worst picture of the year award went to The Love Guru. The film bagged two more awards for worst actor (Mike Myers in the title role) and screenplay, which was co-written by Myers.
Uwe Boll claimed the worst-director Razzie for his three films - In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, 1968: Tunnel Rats and Postal. Boll was also given the award for worst career achievement.
Harison Ford starrer Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was named worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel.
The founder of the award, John Wilson was full of praise for winners Boll and Hilton. "She is the 21st century Zsa Zsa Gabor. She is famous for who she hangs out with. She's not famous for any talent she has yet exhibited. She may end up working with Uwe Boll. She could be the head vampire in Bloodrayne 3," said Wilson.
