Awhile back we went though the Worst Movie of the Year, and loved the craters those bombs had left on a poor, unsuspecting public. This week, just before the Oscars on Sunday, we give you the Worst Actors of the Year. betUS has the rundown on the nominees for the Razzies' Worst Actors.




Nicolas Cage - Ghost Rider & National Treasure II +150: First of all, while Nicholas Cage used to be somewhat attractive at some point (I'm not 100% sure when, though), I think it's time for him to really just take care of the hair situation. Just shave, dude. I know, it's admitting defeat, but really, it's doing receding hairlines everywhere a favor. Seriously.

Eddie Murphy (as Norbit), Norbit +130: Like I said before: remember when Eddie Murphy was like, offensive and funny? Here he's just offensive, and there's no way he can get away with it. I'm not sure what convinced him to do this after being nominated for an effing Oscar, but I'm sure he was thinking of some kind of revenge. And he took it out on his fans, unfortunately.




Adam Sandler, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry +300: I mean, if we had two openly gay actors in this flick, it might have actually been funny. But it's like white people trying to do a movie about other ethnicities: it's just not as funny unless you're in on the joke. I mean, the trying wasn't even commendable.




Cuba Gooding Jr., Daddy Day Camp +600: How do good actors get convinced to do these movies? It's like there was some kind of stupid virus that took over their agent's, manager's, and their own mind. Like, you even get a whiff of Oscar gold and somehow you think you're immune to doing useless movies like this.


Jim Carrey, The Number 23 +800: Out of curiosity, I actually watched this particular flick over the weekend, thinking maybe there was something redeeming about it. Um. No. Not even remotely. The concept was interesting, even the concept of Jim Carrey going dark and playing a character completely outside of his realm, but it just didn't work. At all.
