Comedy spoof Disaster Movie leads the nominations for this year's Razzie awards. Mike Myers and Paris Hilton also feature heavily in the nominees list for the statues the stars really don't want to win.
The nominations for The Golden Raspberry awards, created to recognise 'the worst that Hollywood has to offer each year', have been announced.
Franchise comedy Disaster Movie received six nominations, including Worst Film, Director and 'Rip-Off' , for the awards introduced in 1980 as a spoof of the Oscars.
Mike Myers vehicle The Love Guru was also among the list of prospective booby prize winners, picking up nods for Worst Picture, Director and Actor, as well as a Worst Supporting Actor nom for Verne Troyer of current Big Brother fame.
Paris Hilton was an inevitable inclusion for The Hottie & The Nottie, receiving two nominations personally - Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple.
Despite the focus on comedies, M. Night Shyamalan failed to escape unscathed as The Happening received four nominations including Worst Picture and Director.
Al Pacino's Righteous Kill and 88 Minutes both earnt recognition in the Actor stakes.
The aging star faces stiff competition from Sir Ben Kingsley (The Wackness) and Mark Wahlberg (The Happening) for the award of Worst Actor.
Just under 700 voters are responsible for the Razzies, which is around eight times as many as the Golden Globes.
The winners are announced on February 21st - a day before the Oscars - at a special ceremony that few actors have ever attended.
The most famous appearance at the awards came when Halle Berry showed up to receive her awards for Catwoman in 2005.
