Halle sweeps the board… and turns up
Berry gets worst actress Razzie
Halle Berry thanked the makers of Catwoman for “putting me in a God-awful movie” when she turned up to collect her worst actress Razzie award.
The actress, whose surprise appearance got her a standing ovation from a packed house, made a lengthy speech, parodying her 2002 Oscar win.
“It was just what my career needed - I was at the top and now I’m at the bottom,” she said.
It has to be said that Catwoman deserved every Razzie that it won, but Halle Berry also deserves a lot of credit - not only for turning up to the awards - but also for having enough of a sense of humour to give an acceptance speech.
Halle Berry is far from a bad actress, but some of her more recent roles have been less than well advised. Hopefully her next project will be a lot more successful than her last.
Of course, if the Razzie organisers could have convinced George Bush (worst actor in a leading role for Farenheit 9/11) to turn up, he’d have brought the house down.
