Razzie Nominations 2022: LeBron James, Diana, the Musical, and a Whole Bruce Willis Category
Stick out your tongue and blow a salute to the best of 2021’s worst. The Golden Raspberry Awards have announced their nominations for the 2022 Razzies, and the field is led by Diana the Musical, a pair of nods each for LeBron James and Amy Adams, and a whole category devoted to Bruce Willis’ execrable year. The stage is set in the Worst Picture category, which has honored (?) the Netflix version of the ill-fated Broadway show Diana, the Musical, as well as the confusing Mark Wahlberg vehicle Infinite, the BET Original horror story Karen, WarnerMedia’s branding exercise in search of a plot, Space Jam: A New Legacy, and Amy Adams’ Hitchcock retread The Woman in the Window. Adams herself was nominated for Worst Actress for The Woman in th...
Razzie Awards 2021: Rudy Giuliani, My Pillow Guy, and Sia Among the Big Winners
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-24T03:22:55+00:00“>April 23, 2021 | 11:22pm ET Rudy Giuliani may have been unsuccessful in his attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election, but Donald Trump’s personal attorney can take solace in the fact that he is an award winner — a Razzie Award winner that is. Officially dubbed the Golden Raspberry Awards, the beloved annual ceremony bestows prizes to the most amazingly awful movies, acting performances, and directing jobs of the year. The awards are traditionally handed out on the same weekend as the Academy Awards. Giuliani’s appearance in Borat Subsequent Movefilm earned him two Razzies: Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Screen Combo. In winning the former, Giuliani ...
Glenn Close’s Performance in Hillbilly Elegy Nominated for Both Oscar and Razzie
Glenn Close has joined the select club of actors nominated for both an Oscar and a Razzie Award for the same role. Via The Hollywood Reporter, she owes this achievement to her performance as Bonnie “Mamaw” Vance in the new film Hillbilly Elegy. The Academy Award shortlist was announced earlier this morning, while the Razzies unveiled their lowlights last week. On the plus side, Close will be competing for her first Oscar against Olivia Colman (The Father), Amanda Seyfried (Mank), Yuh-Jung Youn (Minari), and Maria Bakalova in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. It is Close’s seventh Oscar nomination, following Best Supporting Actress nods for The World According to Garp (1983), The Big Chill (1984), and The Natural (1985), and Best Actress nominations in Fatal Attraction (1988),...
2021 Razzie Nominations: Wonder Woman 1984, Hillbilly Elegy, and Rudy Giuliani Tapped As This Year’s Lowlights
The 2021 Razzie nominations are here. Officially dubbed the Golden Raspberry Awards, the beloved annual ceremony bestows prizes to the most amazingly awful movies, acting performances, and directing jobs of the year. Even though 2020 was historically light on new content, the Razzies trudged forward. The 41st iteration of the awards is broken down into nine categories such as Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Screenplay, etc. There’s a decent array of films that made the overall list, but some of the repeat offenders are Robert Downey Jr.’s Dolittle remake, Ron Howard’s Hillbilly Elegy adaptation, Sia’s controversial Music, Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 1984, and of course Mike “The My Pillow Guy” Lindell’s hilariously atrocious pro-Trump romp, Absolute Proof. Other notew...
Eddie Murphy Briefly Quit Acting After Receiving Decade’s Worst Actor Razzie Award
Over the past few years, Eddie Murphy has experienced a career resurgence, thanks to movies like Dolemite is My Name and the recently released Coming 2 America, as well as an Emmy-winning return to Saturday Night Live. The renaissance came after a five-year period in which he only released one movie. During an appearance on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast (transcribed by The Independent), Murphy explained the hiatus was prompted by his winning of the Worst Actor of the Decade Razzie. “I was making shitty movies,” Murphy told Maron. “I was like, ‘This shit ain’t fun. They’re giving me Razzies…’ Motherfuckers gave me the Worst Actor Ever Razzie. [So I thought], ‘Maybe it’s time to take a break.’” However, the hiatus lasted longer than Murphy originally planned. “I was only gonna tak...
