Although she made history last night as the first female to win six Grammy awards in one year, singing sensation Beyonce has yet to make an impression on the big screen. She was recently nominated for a Razzie award for worst actress of 2009 for her role opposite Idris Elba in 'Obsessed .'

Despite opening at the top spot at the box office, with $28 million, and grossing a healthy $68 million, the film received negative reviews from critics, with an average score of 3.6 out of 10 from the reviews submitted on Rotten Tomatoes.

Nominated for worst film of the year are 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,' 'Land of the Lost,' 'All About Steve,' 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' and the Robin Williams-John Travolta comedy 'Old Dogs.'

Meryl Streep may have the most Academy Award nominations ever with 15, but comedian Eddie Murphy has the most Razzie noms and was nominated again for worst actor of the decade. He's been nominated for 12 "achievements" and is the "winner" of three Razzies. His notable Razzie films include 'Adventures of Pluto Nash,' 'I Spy,' 'Imagine That,' 'Meet Dave,' 'Norbit' and 'Showtime.'

Murphy also received a nomination for his performance in 'Imagine That.' He will be competing with Will Ferrell for 'Land of the Lost,' the Jonas brothers for 'Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience,' Steve Martin in 'The Pink Panther 2,' and John Travolta in 'Old Dogs.'

Sandra Bullock earned a worst actress nomination for 'All About Steve.' She's expected to receive an Academy Award nomination Tuesday for her hit 'The Blind Side.' "She could be the first person ever to win a Razzie and an Oscar in the same weekend," said John Wilson, founder of the Golden Raspberry Awards, now in its 30th year of singling out Hollywood's low points.

Bullock and Beyonce will compete against Miley Cyrus for 'Hannah Montana: The Movie,' Megan Fox for both 'Jennifer's Body,' and 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,' and Sarah Jessica Parker in 'Did You Hear About the Morgans?'

Comedian Marlon Wayans may have traded in his funny bones for some muscle in the action film, 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra,' but that didn't stop voters from nominating him for worst supporting actor.

Nominees for worst actress of the decade include Mariah Carey, who was noted as the single biggest individual vote getter of the decade, receiving 70-plus percent of all the votes for worst actress of 2001 for her performance in 'Glitter,' and Jennifer Lopez, who's been nominated for nine achievements and is the winner of two Razzies. Her notable Razzie noms were from 'Angel Eyes,' 'Enough,' 'Gigli,' 'Jersey Girl,' 'Maid in Manhattan,' 'Monster-in-Law' and 'The Wedding Planner.'

The awards will be given out on March 6 at Hollywood's Barnsdall Gallery Theatre. source and photos: www.blackvoices.com http://www.blackvoices.com/
