Mike Myers' comedy The Love Guru is leading this year's Golden Raspberry Awards after scoring seven nominations at the naming and shaming of the year's worst movies.

Funnyman Myers is nominated in the Worst Actor category, and his castmates Sir Ben Kingsley and Verne Troyer also received Worst Supporting Actor nods for their performances in the comedy, about a spiritual healer.

Other actors up for the Worst Actor dishonour include Mark Wahlberg (The Happening and Max Payne) and Al Pacino, who garnered nods for both 88 Minutes and Righteous Kill.

The Love Guru is also up for the Worst Picture Award, competing with M Night Shyamalan's ecological thriller The Happening, Paris Hilton's farce The Hottie and the Nottie, Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans and In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale.

The hotel heiress gets three nods for her turn in the comedy picture, as well as another Worst Actress nomination for Repo! The Genetic Opera.

Hilton will compete for that gong against Jessica Alba (The Love Guru and The Eye), the stars of The Women (Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Meg Ryan), What Happened In Vegas' Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudson for both Fool's Gold and My Best Friend.s Girl.

The winners will be announced at a ceremony in Hollywood on 21 February - a day before the Academy Awards take place."

[88 Minutes was a bad film?

Yes, yes it was.

Just asking.  Never saw it.

BTW, is it possible that the motive of these Mental Zeros who keep making things like Disaster Movie and Meet the Spartans has been to sweep the Razzies all along?

I can't remember, do you get anything for winning a razzie (other than a nice dose of humility)?

Also more publicity (which supposedly there is no such thing as bad), people who like bad films check them out on DVD and people who want them riffed on get more ammuntion for their argument.

So Meet Dave didn't even get included? I would have imagined that the guys would have a lot of fun with the idead that one of their own was involved with a Razzie winner.
