Lohan, Murphy top the Razzie nominees

Lindsay Lohan and Eddie Murphy have each scored multiple nominations for this year's Razzie Awards.

Celebrating Hollywood's worst in Film, the Razzie nominees were announced ahead of the Oscar nominees.

Lindsay Lohan's thriller, 'I know Who Killed Me', in which she plays two characters who may or may not be the same person, received nine Razzie nominations, amongst them Worst Picture of 2007.

For her Worst Actress nomination, Lohan polled more heavily than any star since Sofia Coppola in 'The Godfather Part III,' according to Razzie founder, John Wilson.

2007 may have been the year Eddie Murphy won an Academy Award nomination for his role in 'Dreamgirls', but that didn't prevent his film 'Norbit' from receiving eight nominations.

Besides a nod for Worst Picture, five of those went to Murphy alone, more than any one person has ever received in a single year.

"We decided that each of his characters was so offensive that he deserved individual nominations," said John Wilson.

Adam Sandler ('I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry') and Cuba Gooding Jr ('Daddy Day Camp', 'Norbit') joined Murphy in the Worst Actor category, along with Nicolas Cage ('Ghost Rider')and Jim Carrey ('The Number 23').

The 'winners' of the 28th Razzies will be announced on 23 February, a day before the Oscars.
