The Razzies are given to the worst performing actors and actresses, directors and movies. It was created to spoof the Oscars, which gives awards to the best performers.

The awards are presented by the Golden Raspberry Foundation, which announces its winners one day before the Academy Awards presentation. The Oscars will be presented Sunday night.

At its 28th Golden Raspberry awards, the winners were announced and each will receive a gold spray painted Razzie trophies worth $4.89.

Eddie Murphy and Lindsay Lohan won three trophies today for their acting roles in “Norbit” and “I Know Who Killed Me”.

Lohan received nine nominations for this movie and she acts in a double role, so the Razzies nominated her twice. The film “I Know Who Killed Me” received the prizes for Worst Picture, Worst Director and two Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple awards for Lohan. The movie earned just $9 million worldwide.

In total it earned eight of nine Raspberries awards, which broke the record of seven awards held by movies Battlefield Earth and Showgirls.

The comedy movie “Norbit’ set a record for winning the three of the four west acting categories. Though he received the Razzies, his movie earned more than $158 million worldwide.

Murphy won the worst actor award for playing the hapless hero of Norbit. He also played in several parts in the movie. He also won the worst supporting actor and actress Raspberries for roles as Chinese man and Norbit’s screaming overweight wife.

Murphy earned an Oscar nomination last year for his role as troubled soul singer in the movie “Dreamgirls”, but because of his poor acting in Norbit, it cost him an Oscar award.

Both Murphy and Lohan had a troubled year, Lohan going in and out of rehab and Murphy divorcing his wife just two weeks after getting married in French Polynesia.

The other Worst Picture nominees were Bratz, Daddy Day Camp with Cuba Gooding Jr. and I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry, which starred Adam Sandler.
