Bennifer flop 'Gigli' ('rhymes with really') looks set to clean up at the 'Razzie's'.

The film received nine Golden Raspberry Award nominations - and brought future ex-fiancees Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez together.

The off-screen chemistry was not reflected in their acting.

'Gigli' has been nominated for Worst Picture, Worst Actor (Affleck), Worst Actress (Lopez), Worst Supporting Actor (twice, for Al Pacino and Christopher Walken), Worst Supporting Actress (Lanie Kazan), Worst Screen Couple, Worst Director (Martin Brest) and Worst Screenplay.

If it wins the lot 'Gigli' could overtake 'Battlefield Earth' and 'Showgirls' to become the worst film ever. Sylvester Stallone is the worst actor of all time - according to the awards - with nine wins and 30 nominations including one this year.

After being panned by critics for dialogue including possibly the worst seduction line in history (J-Lo to Ben 'it's turkey time', Ben 'what?', J-Lo 'c'mon, gobble gobble') the film had the second-worst opening weekend in history, making just 2.3 million.

'Gigli' is widely tipped to clean up at the 'Razzies' tomorrow, however The Cat In The Hat and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle are close - both with more than five nominations.

The Razzies are voted for by 578 Golden Rasberry Award Foundation members. They have been around for 23 years.
