The RAZZIES were created in 1980 by John Wilson, a life-long cynic and Cine-Maniac as well as the author of EVERYTHING I KNOW I LEARNED AT THE MOVIES. Here's to really sucking in style, and when it comes to acting, no one sucks like Madonna:

Never let it be said that Madonna's film work has been unexamined.

Time and again, the voters of the Razzies have examined her flicks. Then they've trashed them.

The Material Thespian, who starred in the critically swamped Swept Away and lived to cameo in Die Another Day, picked up four nominations Monday for the 23rd Annual Golden Raspberry Awards, the unofficial anti-Oscars, dis-honoring the worst of the year in film. With 15 career nominations now, Madonna has ascended, or descended, to the rank of the most-Razzed woman ever. (Sylvester Stallone, if you must know, is the most-Razzed man.)

....Madonna earned two Razzie nods for Swept Away--Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple, shared with costar Adriano Giannini. She also picked up a pair for her contributions to the James Bond flick, Die Another Day--Worst Supporting Actress and Worst Original Song, the 007 title tune "Die Another Day," cowritten with Mirwais Ahmadzai.

"She's got a good start on the new century," cracked Razzies founder John Wilson, noting that his group cited Madonna as worst actress of the 20th century.

Madonna also is a four-time, um, champ in the Worst Actress category, Razzed for Shanghai Surprise, Who's That Girl?, Madonna: Truth or Dare and The Next Best Thing. According to Wilson, Swept Away may be her crowning achievement.

"Even by her standards," Wilson said, "it's an incredibly unappealing performance." [E! online]
