The Razzies Announce the Worst Movies of the Year
The Razzies’ latest round of winners is here.
(Winners might be a bad choice of words in this case.)
Since 1981, the Golden Raspberry Awards — better known to bad movie lovers (and bad movie makers) as “The Razzie Awards” — have given out prizes to the worst films, directors, writers, and actors of the year. Their picks aren’t always the best, but they are definitely the #1 name in the bad movie award space.
And this year their #1 bad movie was Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood & Honey, the horror movie version of the beloved children’s classic, which was enabled by the original Winnie book going into the public domain a few years ago. The quite terrible film took home the Razzies for Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Screen Couple, and Worst Remake, Sequel, or Ripoff. It cleaned up (quite deservingly so) in just about every category where it was eligible.
In the acting categories, Jon Voight was chosen as Worst Actor for Mercy, while Megan Fox won Worst Actress and Supporting Actress, for Johnny & Clyde and Expend4bles, respectively. Her Expend4bles co-star Sylvester Stallone, who is a longtime Razzies “favorite,” won Worst Supporting Actor for his work in the film as well.
Here’s the full list of winners of this year’s Razzies. Congrats to all who were nominated. I’m sure you will do better next time.
