The Razzies

I hope, in the case of Giuliani, it is perceived as mean-spirited. There is nothing amusing about the vile shit he perpetrated on the American public.

I think it’s both.

Leonardo DiCaprio is a Razzie type but we live in Bizarro world.

Chris Connelly said on GMA this morning that he doesn't know why Glenn Close was nominated for a Razzie this year.

There's a misogynistic streak to the whole thing.

Tons of men have been nominated for Razzies. How is it misogynistic?

I feel like there was a certain actress who embraced it one year and after that it became something that more actors had fun with. Was it Halle Berry in Catwoman?

It was Halle.

Sandra Bullock accepted hers for All About Steve or whatever it was

All About Steve ultimately won Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple. Sandra Bullock accepted the Razzie for Worst Actress, giving out a copy of All About Steve to each member of the audience, promising to attend next year if they all watched to consider if it was "truly the worst performance". When an audience member thanked her for the copies, Bullock replied "You say that now". She won an Academy Award for Best Actress for The Blind Side the next day, making Bullock one of the few performers to win an Academy Award and a Razzie Award in the same year.

Not a Razzie but Natalie Wood accepted the Harvard Lampoon’s Worst Actress Award in 1966.

For all Halle's issues, this was fun

Halle accepted it and after that it was taken as more of a laugh award vs something to be mad about.

I never knew Razzies is the award's nickname; it's actually The Golden Raspberry Awards.

They cost me a film career but somehow not Madonna.

Rudy Giuliani and Kate Hudson are now RAZZIE award winners!

Glad they gave something to that piece of crap Doctor Dolittle. 🤢🤢

I’m sure, in a business in which some monster boss throws phones at you or can ruin your career out of spite, the Razzies truly do look large in people’s minds, darling.

This year's winners.

In the beginning, they honored more big budget movies that had less than great critical receptions. Dressed to Kill and The Shining were nominees alongside Xanadu and Can't Stop the Music that first year. There were also a couple of times where their choices overlapped the oscars.

But over the past twenty years, they just got so dumbed down in their choices. It jumped the shark the year they gave W. worst actor for Farenheit 9/11. Just stupid.

I was actually surprised by the Glenn nomination this year. That's the type of ballsy choice they haven't done in ages. You wonder who she pissed off.

R21-Dressed to Kill is a great film though, I don't see how that didn't undermine the Razzie's raison d'etre(keeping in mind it was also nominated for a Stinkers Bad Movie Award, besides a GG award).

R7 So did Sandra Bollock.

No publicity is bad publicity. People who read about Razzie winners may be curious to see a trainwreck movie or performance, which can be more enjoyable than many boring Oscar winners.

I can see why the Razzies caught on when they started, but at this point they seem totally unnecessary. We don't need an awards show to talk about how some movies suck. We have the entire internet for that.

Plus, for an organization that prides themselves on decrying how bad other people's work is, their jokes are so damn tired at this point. Yeah, let's nominate another guy for Worst Actress because he's wearing a dress! That joke was so hilarious for the first dozen Tyler Perry nominations, and it'll never get old.

You have to give Halle Berry and Natalie Wood Credit for not taking their stinkers too seriously. Rita Hayworth and Kirk Douglas laughed about their worst awards too:

Rita Hayworth sent a word of thanks yesterday to the Harvard Lampoon for its award to her as the "worst motion picture actress of 1958.

Upon hearing of her winning the annual 'Poon prize, the actress sent a telegram from Durango, Mexico, where she is on location for a forthcoming film. "A harpoon from the Lampoon," she said, "is a collegiate accolade. I shall treasure the distinction always. I hope all of you pass your examinations."

The winner of the "worst" actor award for the third straight year, Kirk Douglas, acknowledged the dubious honor last week. He asked that the grotesque trophy be "sent prepaid, please."

R12 Thanks for sharing! That was awesome.

Kate Hudson deserved this award for other movies too. I wonder who informed her that she was named worst actress of 2020.

The award and nominations are funny as hell sometimes. I believe Halle Berry brought her Oscar with her when she accepted for Catwoman, haha. Sandy accepted hers.. I’m sure Glen thought about accepting it, they must have told her she wasn’t winning.

The Razzies are much better than the Academy at giving awards to people who deserve them.
