News for Tom Green (III) Tom Green Makes Razzies History - WENN, 25 March 2002 Hollywood star Tom Green has made history by becoming the first actor ever to receive a Golden Raspberry Award in person. The wacky comedian picked a handful of awards at Saturday night's Razzies - a spoof of the Academy Awards - for his critically panned film Freddy Got Fingered. The movie was named for Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay, and Green got Worst Actor, Worst Director and Worst Couple - for his role alongside various animal co-stars in the flick. Raspberry award winners traditionally refuse to collect the awards - regarded as an insult among the Hollywood community. But Green shocked organisers by turning up, and even bringing his own red carpet to the ceremony. As he collected the Worst Picture award, Green said, "I'd just like to say to all the other nominees in the audience, I don't think that I deserve it anymore than the rest of you. I'd like to say that. I don't think that it would be true, though."

One pal says, "Drew still behaves like the five-year-old brat she was when she became famous. Tom just could not take any more."
