Most appallingly demented TV host, world's most disrespectful son, most embarrassing husband. Tom Green could claim all these titles and now, he can claim a few more: worst actor, worst director, worst screenplay cowriter, and worst screen couple, all for the year's worst movie, "Freddy Got Fingered." The Golden Raspberries, given out on Saturday in Los Angeles, recognize the absolute stinkers of the cinema over the past year, and Green was an unprecedented winner, reports the Associated Press. Unlike most worst acting "winners" past, Green actually showed up at the ceremony to accept his golden raspberry-shaped trophies, which, according to Razzie founder John Wilson, cost $4.79 each and were made "the other day on my patio." Of his honor, Green said, "I'd just like to say to all the other nominees in the audience, I don't think that I deserve it anymore than the rest of you." Other winners included Mariah Carey for her "acting" in the mega-flop "Glitter." Carey's cleavage, also nominated for best screen couple, lost out to Green in that category. For worst supporting actor, Charlton Heston won for his work in "Cats & Dogs," "Planet of the Apes" and "Town & Country." Worst supporting actress was Estella Warren, for "Driven" and "Planet of the Apes," and the worst remake or sequel was the unwatchable "Planet of the Apes."
