Halle Berry’s Entire Razzie Award Acceptance Speech For ‘Catwoman’
In 2005, Halle Berry did something entirely unexpected: She accepted her worst actress award at the Razzies (Golden Raspberry Awards). The Razzies are the anti-Oscars, where the worst of cinema is celebrated. Most of the nominees do not attend, as they hate the concept with a passion, but Berry hilariously accepted her statuette for Catwoman with a fawning, seven-minute speech. Part of the speech is embedded in the photo, but here are a few other snippets:
First of all, I want to thank Warner Bros. Thank you for putting me in a piece of s**t, god-awful movie. It was just what my career needed. I was at the top, and then Catwoman plummeted me to the bottom.
...I want to thank the cast. In order to give a really bad performance like I did, you need a lot of bad actors around you.

On St. Patrick's Day 2021, the man who played Green Lantern finally watched Green Lantern. With the help of Aviation Gin, he live-tweeted the critically panned movie and came up with several gems, one of which was comparing GL's CG suit to the 8-bit video game Frogger.
He also threw a jab at Peter Sarsgaard's villain character, Hector Hammond, calling his meticulously crafted CG head an "over-inflated beach ball."
