Basic Instinct 2 has emerged as the biggest loser at this year's Golden Raspberry Awards (The Razzies), winning four prizes including Worst Picture at Hollywood's Ivar Theatre last night. Sharon Stone's reprisal of the role in which she made her name landed her the award for Worst Actress, with the follow-up to 1992's Basic Instinct also 'winning' Worst Sequel and Worst Screenplay at the ceremony which recognizes the worst in filmmaking.

Sharon Stone has vowed not to return to the roles in which she made her name - insisting she has ditched her "sexy" image for good. The actress, who only last year starred in the raunchy Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction, insists she now only focuses on serious roles, after deciding to ignore parts that rely on her looks.

Voters for this year's 27th Annual RAZZIE Awards had dozens of films to choose from. Heading the list of "Worst Achievements in Film" this year is Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct 2 and Shawn and Marlon Wayans in Little Man. Joining these films in the "Worst Picture" category are M. Night Shyamalan's Lady In The Water, Wicker Man and Bloodrayne.

Out on DVD this week: Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction. In this sequel to the highly successful Basic Instinct, novelist Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone) is once again in trouble with the law.
