John Wilson, the head of the foundation that lampoons Hollywood on the eve of the Oscars, said that while Razzie voters spread their loathing as best they could this year, they kept returning to Basic Instinct 2.

The film was delayed for several years because of production problems and lawsuits. When the movie was eventual made it opened to nearly universal critical scorn.

Little Man, a comedy made by the Wayans Brothers, picked up three Razzies, including worst remake or rip-off. Brothers Shawn and Marlon Wayans were named worst screen couple and shared the prize for worst actor.

Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, who blew off a lucrative deal with Disney over the company's criticism of his movie "Lady in the Water," received two Razzies for that film: worst director and worst supporting actor for his own performance in it.

The Razzies were created in 1980 by Wilson, a devoted film fan. They are decided by a vote of the Golden Raspberry Foundation's 757 members.
