SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Two films that featured their stars in multiple roles – Lindsay Lohan’s “I Know Who Killed Me” and Eddie Murphy’s “Norbit” – combined Saturday for a near-sweep of the 28th annual Golden Raspberry Awards, a feat that might leave them feeling as if they wound up in a dumpster.

That’s because these awards, better known as the Razzies, are the anti-Oscars, celebrating the worst films and performances of the year.

“I Know Who Killed Me,” a horror film in which Lohan plays two characters with different personalities, captured a record eight Razzies, including worst movie of 2007. That surpassed the seven that went to “Showgirls” in 1996 and to “Battlefield Earth” in 2001.

Lohan herself was triply (dis)honored: tying for worst actress for her two roles and also winning as worst screen couple for a scene in which the characters appeared together. The film also got the nods for worst director (Chris Sivertson), worst screenplay (Jeffrey Hammond), worst excuse for a horror movie and worst remake or rip-off.

Murphy, meanwhile, also grabbed three Razzies for three characters he played in the comedy “Norbit”: worst actor, worst supporting actor and worst supporting actress.

The only other film to win an award in the ceremony was “Daddy Day Camp,” dubbed worst prequel or sequel.

The tongue-in-cheek awards are presented by Golden Raspberry founder John Wilson, based on ballots sent to about 750 film professionals, journalists and fans.
