Lohan voted worst actress

New York - As if 2007 could get any
worse for Lindsay Lohan, now this: Moviegoers tagged her with
the year's worst performance by an actress.
58% of voters in an online poll by AOL's
website Moviefone gave Lohan that dubious honour for her turn
as a woman escaping a sadistic killer in the box-office flop,
I Know Who Killed Me.
The poll, which tallied more than 3.8 million votes, had
more bad news for the starlet, who recently spent a brief stint
in jail for drunken driving and cocaine possession and also
attended voluntary rehab.
Another of Lohan's films, Georgia Rule, finished second
among voters for biggest waste of $10 spent on a movie ticket.
The No. 1 biggest waste? Norbit, a slapstick comedy
starring Eddie Murphy, whose performance in the movie was the
runaway pick for worst by an actor.
Voters were given five choices in each poll category. Two
box-office smashes were voted the most worthy of the price of a
ticket: The blood-soaked ancient war epic 300 edged out the
sci-fi extravaganza Transformers, 28% to 26%.
Best on-screen duo
Transformers stars Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf were named
best on-screen duo, barely beating out Michael Cera and Jonah
Hill, the nerdy leads of the comic coming-of-age romp
Superbad.
Superbadmade more voters laugh out loud than any other
film, registering 37% of the tally, ahead of the 28% for the bawdy pregnancy comedy Knocked Up. Both
comedy blockbusters were from producer Judd Apatow.
Sexiest babe went to Fox of Transformers, while hottest
hunk went to Johnny Depp, from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Ralph Fiennes' dark turn as Voldemort in Harry Potter and
the Order of the Phoenix earned him best male villain honours.
Angelina Jolie won best female villain for playing the mother
of the demon Grendel in Beowulf.
Voters gave Matt Damon the nod for best two performances
for Ocean's Thirteen and The Bourne Ultimatum, the latter
of which easily nabbed year's best sequel.
