Bush and Berry win Razzies

George W Bush has won the "Razzie" worst actor of the year award for his performance as president in "Fahrenheit 9/11", but his moment in Hollywood's dubious spotlight was eclipsed by Halle Berry, who actually turned up to receive her embarrassing accolade.

Berry was named worst actress of 2004 by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation for her performance in "Catwoman" and she showed up to accept her "Razzie" carrying the Oscar she won in 2002 for "Monster's Ball".

"They can't take this away from me, it's got my name on it!" she quipped. A raucous crowd cheered her on as she gave a stirring recreation of her Academy Award acceptance speech, including tears.

She thanked everyone involved in "Catwoman", a film she said took her from the top of her profession to the bottom.

"I want to thank Warner Brothers for casting me in this piece of shit," she said as she dragged her agent on stage and warned him "next time read the script first."

"Catwoman" tied with "Fahrenheit 9/11" by winning four "Razzies" -- worst picture, worst directing, worst screenplay and worst performance by an actress for Berry and her "berry bad" work.

It is rare for a Razzie winner to show up at the spoof awards held on the night before Oscars -- but Berry did on Saturday, saying her mother taught her that to be "a good winner you had to be a good loser first". She received a standing ovation.

Winners receive a golf ball-sized figure of a "Raspberry -- Hollywood's least coveted trophy", atop a mangled Super 8 film reel that is spray-painted gold. It has an estimated street value of $4.97 (Bt190), although Wilson said costs were rising as Super 8 film reel cans are getting harder to find.
