Halle Berry set Razzie Award for ‘Catwoman’ on fire after she accepted it in person

Halle Berry may have been praised for taking the high road when she showed up in person to accept the Razzie Award for “worst actress” — but there’s more to the story of how she truly felt about the humiliating honor.

The Oscar, Emmy and NAACP Image Award winner reflected on the films she’s starred in, including 2004′s box office bomb “Catwoman.”

“I feel like we all take ourselves so seriously,” she revealed to Vanity Fair during a videotaped walk down memory lane.

“If we get an award, if we get the Oscar, we somehow are made to feel like we’re somehow better than everybody else, but we’re really not,” Berry explained. “You were just chosen that year by your peers and you were acknowledged for doing what they considered stellar work.”

“So, if you find yourself face-to-face with a Razzie, does that mean you’re the worst actor there ever was? Probably not,” she rationed. “You just got the p--- taken out on you that year by a group of people that can.”

The “Bruised” star said she wanted to show up in person for the awards ceremony — which is essentially a parody award show honoring the worst of cinematic under-achievements — to prove that she didn’t want to take herself too seriously.

Ever the sport, Berry delivered a parody of the tearful acceptance speech she delivered at the 2002 Academy Awards when she made history as the very first Black woman to win in the Best Actress category for her role in “Monster’s Ball.”

“If I can show up to collect an Oscar when you’re honoring me, I can certainly show up to collect a Razzie,” Berry stated. “I always learned that if you can’t be a good loser, then you don’t deserve to be a good winner. So, I went there and made fun of myself.”

But while the former pageant queen was in on the joke, she got the last laugh.

“I had a great time and then I set that thing on fire,” Berry said with a laugh. “That’s what I did.”

But all wasn’t lost since the ex “Extant” star reportedly received a whopping $14 million for portraying the famous DC Comics female superhero.

Since 1980, under the shingle of The Golden Raspberry Foundation, UCLA film graduates and film industry veterans present the satirical ceremony as a parody of the Academy Awards.

The Razzies are usually announced the day before the Academy Awards.
