“We decided that each of his characters was so offensive that he deserved individual nominations,” said Razzies founder John Wilson.

According to Wilson, Murphy’s closest competition for worst screen couple is Lohan in I Know Who Killed Me, in which she plays a small-town girl abducted by a psychopath and an alter-ego, a stripper who’s missing body parts.

For worst actress, Lohan polled more heavily than any actor since Sofia Coppola in The Godfather Part III, Wilson said.

“I Know Who Killed Me is the most fabulously brainless movie since Showgirls, which Razzie voters picked as the worst movie of the 1990s,” Wilson said.

“By the end of it, you still don’t know what happened. Are they twins or aren’t they? Did she imagine it? Can I please have my hour and 50 minutes back?”

The other worst-picture nominees were Bratz, a live-action take on the cartoon about four chic young girls; Daddy Day Camp, with Cuba Gooding Jr starring in a sequel to Murphy’s Daddy Day Care; and I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Adam Sandler and Kevin James’ comedy about fire fighters posing as a gay couple.

Sandler and Gooding joined Murphy in the worst actor category, along with Nicolas Cage for Ghost Rider and Jim Carrey for The Number 23.

Lohan was cited twice as worst actress for I Know Who Killed Me, while the four Bratz stars - Logan Browning, Janel Parrish, Nathalia Ramos and Skyler Shaye - shared a nomination.

Also nominated were Jessica Alba for three films, Awake, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Good Luck Chuck; Elisha Cuthbert for Captivity; and Diane Keaton for Because I Said So.

Along with Murphy, supporting actor nominees included Orlando Bloom for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, James and Rob Schneider for I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and Jon Voight for Bratz, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, September Dawn and Transformers.

Besides Murphy, supporting actress nominees were Jessica Biel for I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and Next, Carmen Electra for Epic Movie, Julia Ormond for I Know Who Killed Me and Nicollette Sheridan for Code Name: The Cleaner.
