Other actors up for the Worst Actor dishonour include Mark Wahlberg (TheHappeningandMax Payne) and Al Pacino, who garnered nods for both 88 Minutes and Righteous Kill.

The Love Guru is also up for the Worst Picture Award, competing with M Night Shyamalan's ecological thriller The Happening, Paris Hilton's farce The Hottieand theNottie; Disaster Movie; Meet the Spartans and In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale.

Paris gets three nods for her turn in the comedy picture, as well as another Worst Actress nomination for Repo! The Genetic Opera.

Paris will compete for that gong against Jessica Alba, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Meg Ryan, Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudson.

The winners will be announced in Hollywood on February 21. - Wenn
