The fur is still flying over Halle Berry's action flop "Catwoman."

The Razzies, which mock the worst in film, gave "Catwoman" a leading seven nominations Monday, among them worst picture, worst actress for Berry and worst supporting players for Sharon Stone and Lambert Wilson. "Catwoman"

also was nominated for worst screen couple for Berry with either Stone or co-star Benjamin Bratt.

"`Catwoman' is the cinematic equivalent of a clump in the cat-litter box,"

Razzies founder John Wilson said. "Kind of a sad little thing laying there stinking up the place."

The historical bomb "Alexander" was second with six Razzie nominations, including worst picture, actor Colin Farrell, actress Angelina Jolie and director Oliver Stone.

The other worst-picture contenders were the family action comedy

"Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2," the holiday debacle "Surviving Christmas"

and the cross-dressing comedy "White Chicks."

President Bush and some of his advisers received worst-acting nominations for their appearances in news and archival footage in Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," which assails Bush for his actions surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks.

Bush was nominated for worst actor, while Secretary of State-designate Condoleezza Rice got a nomination for worst supporting actress and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for worst supporting actor.

Wilson said that while "Fahrenheit 9/11" was a piece of anti-Bush propaganda, the president and his associates earned their Razzie nominations on their own.

"It wasn't Mr. Moore's editing," Wilson said. "It's the raw footage of these people just making fools of themselves."

Just a few seconds of screen time in "Fahrenheit 9/11" brought a nomination as worst supporting actress for Britney Spears, who sits for a moment blank-faced and chewing gum in the film before saying she thinks people should support the president in all decisions he makes.

Along with Bush and Farrell, worst-actor nominees were Ben Affleck for "Jersey Girl" and "Surviving Christmas"; Vin Diesel for "The Chronicles of Riddick; and Ben Stiller for "Along Came Polly," "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story," "Envy" and "Starsky & Hutch."

Joining Berry and Jolie as worst-actress contenders were Hilary Duff for "A Cinderella Story" and "Raise Your Voice," and two pairs of siblings:

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for "New York Minute" and Shawn and Marlon Wayans, who play federal agents in drag in "White Chicks."

The Olsen twins and the Wayans brothers also had nominations as worst screen couples.

Arnold Schwarzenegger received a nomination for worst supporting actor for "Around the World in 80 Days," for which he did a cameo before becoming California's governor. Besides him, Rumsfeld and Wilson, the other supporting nominees were Val Kilmer for "Alexander" and Jon Voight for "Superbabies."

Besides Rice, Spears and Stone, Carmen Elektra of "Starsky & Hutch" and Jennifer Lopez of "Jersey Girl" also were nominated for worst supporting actress.

Selected by about 500 members of the Golden Raspberry Foundation, Razzie nominations were released a day before the Academy Awards nominations come out. Razzie winners will be announced Feb. 26, a day before the Oscars.

Go Bush!!!

I think the business with nominating Bush, et al., for acting awards, whether dubious or not, is ridiculous -- and I would say that if the movie were about the Clinton administration.

And while I haven't seen Catwoman, I find it doubtful there aren't many, many actresses who have turned in worse performances than Halle Berry did. The movie may belong on the Worst Picture list and not given her much room to work, but that's a different story.

I mean, the Academy Awards are full of nominated films that most people haven't seen -- why must these be mostly medium-to-large budget, heavily-hyped flops?

I'm beginning to look at lists such as these about the same way I see Mr. Blackwell's Worst-Dressed list, which seems to be much more about Mr. Blackwell and how creatively he can savage those he names to his list.

Hey,Stiller was hillarious in "Dodgeball"

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for "New York Minute" and Shawn and Marlon Wayans, who play federal agents in drag in "White Chicks."

I can see why Mary-Kate got a razzie, but Ashley?

I'm kidding, btw.

Ms. Berry was fine considering how little she was given to work with. I sat through worse movies than Catwoman this year. Thunderbirds and Home on The Range come to mind.

As movies go, Catwoman wasn't such a bad film. But it was a lousy 'Catwoman' movie. Had it been a made for tv movie it would have ranked toward the top. but, it sure didn't belong in the theater.

Hmmm ... I thought Hpome on the Range was weak, but that it had some funny moments -- including a couple that made me laugh out loud. But certainly, it is pretty low on the totem pole of Disney animated features. Seemed they were going for a restrained version of the humor in The Emperor's New Groove, and some of that was successful. But it wasn't silly enough to make the movie as a whole a success.

Then again, The Emperor's New Groove wasn't a commercial success -- but it certainly was a different take on Disney animation, and it was hilarious.

Hey, let's face it, there's a lot of crap out there! I don't need to see any of the new crap, ever, but there's always a special place in my heart for the "old" crap - The Thing With Two Heads, among others, springs immediately to mind.

I'm very disappointed that Thunderbirds didn't sweep the field. I had a lot of faith they would go ALL THE WAY!!! These contests are fixed!!
