Halle in tears again... for worst actress
Most Hollywood stars fail to appear at awards ceremonies if they haven't won, but actress Halle Berry surprised the showbiz world by turning-up in person to collect a gong for worst actress.

Berry was named worst actress of 2004 by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation for her performance in Catwoman and she showed up to accept her "Razzie" carrying the Oscar she won in 2002 for Monster's Ball.

"They can't take this away from me, it's got my name on it!" she quipped. A raucous crowd cheered her on as she gave a stirring recreation of her Academy Award acceptance speech, including tears.

She thanked everyone involved in "Catwoman," a film she said took her from the top of her profession to the bottom.
"I want to thank Warner Brothers for casting me in this piece of s***," she said as she dragged her agent on stage and warned him "next time read the script first."

Good for Halle for willing to poke fun at herself. This almost redeems her performance in Catwoman. She's still HOT!!!

2. Man, I can respect her for doing this
She had to realize that htis movie did not go as planned. Shows her to not be full of herself, kind of reminds me of 1988 when Clinton gave a long winded speech at the DNC and went on Carson afterwards. Helped his image a lot.

4. I saw part of her speech. It was GREAT!!
She was in tears (but cracking up) over the Razzie award. And she looked good. Really, really, really, really good.

8. Tom Green showed up to accept his Razzies for "Freddie Got Fingered."
I think he's proud of the fact that he made one of the worst movies of that year... in history, in fact. A dubious thing to be proud of, surely, but if you can't be the best - might as well be the worst.
