Rick's Picks: Razzie Actresses

"Katie Holmes Works On Expressing An Emotion"
 

A Richard Propes Column

 

January 26, 2006

 
This past week, I submitted my nominees for the upcoming Razzie Awards. Here are a few of the highlights from my picks for 2005's Worst Actress and Supporting Actress!
 
WORST ACTRESS
  1. Charlize Theron, Aeon Flux: What is it with actresses after an Oscar win? I don't understand why women who have proven they are immensely talented insist on moving from Oscar-winning roles to such mediocre roles. While her "Aeon Flux" experience is certainly no "Catwoman," it is embarrassing, uncomfortable and, quite simply, a bad performance.
  2. Heather Locklear, The Perfect Man: Locklear's weak performance is unlikely to win, because expectations were low anyway.
  3. Tara Reid, Alone in the Dark: Hmmm. One of the worst films of the year starring Tara Reid. Go figure.
  4. Jenny McCarthy, Dirty Love: I would, most likely, have pity on McCarthy had she not written this role for herself. Is it lack of self respect? Is it low self-esteem? is it the awareness that she's just a bad actress? From everything I hear, Ms. McCarthy is a wonderfully nice human being. Jenny, let me give you some advice...Nice women don't make crappy films like "Dirty Love." I never want to see you flailing yourself in menstrual blood again. EVER.
  5. Jennifer Lopez, Monster-in-Law: This is NOT JLO's worst performance, but it's bad enough to warrant a nomination. Ick.

WORST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

  1. Carmen Electra, Dirty Love: I can't even joke about this performance. It's dreadful, awful, painful, awkward, and, well, bad. As McCarthy's best friend in the film, Electra does sort of a junior high gangsta act that is laughable from the first sentence uttered and never improves.
  2. Paris Hilton, House of Wax: May be saved from the Razzie win only by the fact that she has a nice, gory death in the film.
  3. Jessica Simpson, Dukes of Hazzard: Is her 15 minutes over yet?
  4. Katie Holmes, Batman Begins: This performance will make you appreciate Kirsten Dunst in the "Superman" films.
  5. Frances McDormand, Aeon Flux: This was a challenging nomination, but a necessary one.
