The most commercially unsuccessful film of 2006 won a whooping four Raspberry Awards at Saturday night’s ceremonies honoring the worst in film.

“Basic Instinct 2,” earned distinction in four categories — worst film, worst actress for Sharon Stone’s reprisal of her breakout 1992 role as novelist/sexual vamp Catherine Trammel, worst screenplay and worst prequel or sequel.

“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. The 2006 flick was based on a classic Bugs Bunny cartoon.

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 Razzie for worst supporting actress went to former “Baywatch” beauty Carmen Electra after a neck-and-neck fight with onetime Playboy Playmate Jenny McCarthy. Electra won for two films — “Date Movie” and “Scary Movie 4.”

“RV,” a comedy starring Robin Williams, was the winner of the newest Razzie category, worst excuse for family entertainment.

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.

Winners receive a gold-painted, golf ball-sized raspberry atop a mangled super-8 film reel. The trophy has anapproximated value of $4.97.
