Razzies Announce Worst Movies of the Year
The Razzies have announced their “winners” of their annual awards for the worst movies of the year. The top prize went to Blonde, Netflix’s bleak biopic of Marilyn Monroe. The film not only took home Worst Picture, it also scored the award for Worst Screenplay — ahead of other valid contenders like Morbius and Jurassic World: Dominion.
The Golden Raspberry Awards have been given out right before the Oscars every year for decades. But this year’s Razzies garnered unusual controversy, after the awards came under fire for nominating a young girl, Ryan Kiera Armstrong of the remake of Firestarter, for Worst Actress. The Razzies later apologized and removed Armstrong from contention, replacing her on their ballot with themselves for their “blunder” in nominating her. They then won their own award. (They’ve also said they will not allow minors to be nominated for Razzies in the future.
As for the rest of the prizes ... they’re the Razzies. Sometimes they honor actually bad movies. (Blonde was not great, and neither was Morbius, although I’m not sure Jared Leto’s performance — which took home the Razzie for Worst Actor — was the biggest problem.) Sometimes they just take cheap shots; they gave the Worst Onscreen Couple Award to Tom Hanks and “His Latex-Laden Face” in Elvis. I don’t think Hanks was particularly good in Elvis (which is nominated for Best Makeup and Hairstyling at the Oscars) but that’s obviously not an onscreen couple? So why even give an award at all?
