Lindsay Lohan and Eddie Murphy took top honors at this weekend's 28th annual Golden Raspberry Awards... affectionately known as the “Razzie” awards, held at Magicopolis in Santa Monica. Both Lohan and Murphy broke a Razzie record by scoring multiple gold spray-painted trophies; Lindsay actually tied with herself to win the Worst Actress category for her portrayal as twins Aubrey and Dakota in I Know Who Killed Me. Lohan’s movie also took the awards for Worst Picture, Worst Screen Couple (Aubrey and Dakota), Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Excuse for a Horror Movie. It was Murphy’s work in Norbit that netted him three Razzies, including Worst Actor, Worst Supporting Actress (for Murphy’s turn as Rasputia) and Worst Supporting Actor (for his portrayal of Mr. Wong).
