Green said winning Razzies was a 'dream come true'
Comedian and actor Tom Green has made Hollywood awards history by becoming the first performer to receive a worst actor Razzie in person.
The star turned up at the Raspberry awards, which annually "dishonour" the worst films of the year, to collect five awards for his film Freddy Got Fingered.
The movie resisted the challenge of Sylvester Stallone's Driven and the Mariah Carey film Glitter to win the overall worst picture of the year.
Green arrived in a white Cadillac, wearing a tuxedo and rolled out his own red carpet, outside the Magicopolis theatre in Santa Monica, Los Angeles.
"When we set out to make this film we wanted to win a Razzie, so this is a dream come true for me," he said.
Green follows the lead of director Paul Verhoeven who received in person his award as the film-maker behind Showgirls.
Freddy Got Fingered was mauled by the critics last year, with one critic describing it as "the worst film ever released by a major studio".
In all, Green picked up awards for worst director, worst actor, worst screenplay, worst on-screen couple and worst film.
"It is a totally, very proud moment for me," said Green, collecting the award for worst screenplay.
Green brought his own red carpet to the event
"I wore this tuxedo at my wedding so that gives you an indication of how much this means to me," said the star, who recently separated from actress Drew Barrymore.
Green began his career in Canada on public access television, before finding fame as a comedian on music channel MTV.
The Razzies are widely accepted as the leading "anti-Oscars" ceremony and were established 22 years ago.
