The Razzies have returned to Hollywood – with the Golden Raspberry Foundation's Monday morning announcement of Tinseltown's worst embarrassments from last year.
Cruise is up for three Razzies – as worst actor for War of the Worlds and for two of the five slots in the new category of "tiresome tabloid targets" (thanks to his exploits with fianceé Katie Holmes and his anti-psychiatry rant on the Today show). Simpson is in the running for worst actress of 2005 (for Dukes of Hazzard).
As for Cruise, "He had been a very private person up until this past year," says Razzies founder John Wilson, as quoted by the Associated Press. "It certainly was a bizarre turn in terms of how he handles his personal life and the access that he gave the media to himself. The endless posing on the red carpet and just smooching like they were on the couch at home."
Meanwhile, leading the Razzie's list, with eight nominations, is Son of the Mask. Besides worst picture of the year, the uninspired sequel to Jim Carrey's 1994 runaway hit is up for worst actor (Jamie Kennedy) and supporting actor (both Alan Cumming and Bob Hoskins).
In addition to Dukes of Hazzard, the worst-picture contenders are Rob Schneider's sequel Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, Jenny McCarthy's raunchy romance Dirty Love and the horror remake House of Wax.
Besides Cruise and Kennedy, worst-actor nominees are Will Ferrell (for Bewitched and Kicking & Screaming), The Rock (for Doom) and Schneider (for Deuce Bigalow).
McCarthy earned three nominations for Dirty Love – for worst actress, screenplay and screen couple (she and "anyone dumb enough to befriend or date her"). She will be competing as worst actress with Jessica Alba (for Fantastic Four and Into the Blue) Hilary Duff (for Cheaper by the Dozen 2 and The Perfect Man), Jennifer Lopez for (Monster-in-Law) and Tara Reid (for Alone in the Dark).
