Some movie fanatics look forward to The Oscars. Others consider the Razzie Awards to be the real test of modern cinematic culture.
On Monday, several of Hollywood’s biggest stars received nominations for the Razzies, which measure the worst films and acting performances of the last year. The Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde led the pack with eight nominations. The award show described the film as one that “movie-goers liked even less than critics did.”
Good Mourning, starring Machine Gun Kelly, followed close behind with seven dishonours, including nominations for Worst Picture, Worst Actor (Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker) and two Worst Supporting Actor nominations (Pete Davidson and Mod Sun).
The Marvel film Morbius, which features Jared Leto delivering the now-infamous line “It’s Morbin’ time,” also received five nominations — among them Worst Picture, Worst Actor (Jared Leto) and Worst Director (Daniel Espinosa).
Even Academy award-winning actors are not spared from a Razzie nomination. Tom Hanks, who has two Oscar wins, was nominated for three Razzies. His portrayal of Colonel Tom Parker in Elvis was slapped twice, once for Worst Supporting Actor and again for Worst Screen Couple (Tom Hanks and his latex-laden face).
Several of Hollywood’s most acclaimed actors have won Razzies in the past, including Leonardo DiCaprio (The Man in the Iron Mask), Al Pacino (Jack and Jill) and Nicole Kidman (Bewitched).
The Razzie Awards, which brands itself the “ugly cousin to the Oscars,” announced the picks the day before the Academy announces Oscar nominations on Jan. 24.
