Razzie Awards 2025 nominations out! Joker: Folie à Deux, Madame Web nominated in worst film category

A horror film based on the beloved children’s literary character “Winnie the Pooh” faced the vengeance of Razzie voters on Saturday in the annual Oscar spoof that spotlights Hollywood’s worst performances.

“Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey” swept the five categories it was nominated for at the 44th Razzies, which included picture, director, screenplay, screen couple and remake/rip-off/sequel.

Highlighting its worthiness for the awards, The Jagged Edge Productions film was described by Dennis Harvey of Variety as “a rock-bottom joint that fails to meet even the most basic expectations set up by its conceptual gimmick” on Rotten Tomatoes, where the film is certified rotten.

The Razzie Redeemer Award, bestowed on a past contender who has “gone on to better things” since being nominated for a Razzie, went to “The Nanny” actor Fran Drescher for her leadership as SAG-AFTRA president during the 2023 actors strike.

Drescher was nominated in 1998 for worst actress in the romantic comedy film “The Beautician and the Beast.”

Hosts Aaron Goldenberg and Jake Jonez, known for their TikTok personas as The Mean Gays, took one more jab at Drescher, saying sarcastically that she led Hollywood actors through an “unprecedented labor action to an even more unprecedented deal with the AMPTP,” the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.

Other winners include “Mercy” actor Jon Voight for the actor Razzie owing to his "Lucky Charms leprechaun" Irish accent.

Megan Fox was bestowed with a pair of trophies: the actress Razzie for her "Johnny &amp; Clyde” role and the supporting actress prize for the action film "Expend4bles."

Sylvester Stallone also took home the Razzie, also known as the Golden Raspberry, for supporting actor for his role in "Expend4bles."

More than 1,100 Razzie members from across the United States and about two dozen other countries vote on the awards, according to the Razzie website.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey wins worst picture at Razzies

The Razzies on Thursday rescinded the satirical award they had created poking fun at <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-bruce-willis-diagnosed-with-aphasia-decides-to-step-away-from-acting-467039">Bruce Willis </a>for his body of work in 2021 after his family announced he was retiring from acting due to the cognitive disorder aphasia. 
 
The awards` founders also rescinded a worst actress nomination for Shelley Duvall in the 1980 film "The Shining" because of reported mistreatment by late director Stanley Kubrick. 
 
The Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, skewer what they consider Hollywood`s worst films and performances on the eve of the Oscars ceremony each year.

They created a special category for Willis this year, nominating him eight times for "Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie," for each of his movies, but rescinded the award given his recently disclosed diagnosis. 
 
"If someone`s medical condition is a factor in their decision making and/or their performance, we acknowledge that it is not appropriate to give them a Razzie," Razzie co-founders Mo Murphy and John Wilson said in a statement. 
 
The Willis family made the announcement on Wednesday, four days after the Razzies. The Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday that co-workers on film sets raised concerns about Willis` health in recent years and that filmmakers reduced his roles because of his diminished capacity. 
 
Aphasia`s symptoms vary widely and can affect speech, comprehension and reading ability, said Brenda Rapp, a professor of cognitive science at Johns Hopkins University. 
 
The Razzies also said "extenuating circumstances" led them to rescind Duvall`s nomination because of "Stanley Kubrick`s treatment of her throughout the production." 
 
Kubrick was known for demanding long hours and shooting an extraordinary number of takes. Duvall told The Hollywood Reporter last year the experience was traumatizing. 
 
Asked if Kubrick had been unusually cruel or abusive, Duvall said, "He`s got that streak in him. He definitely has that."

Razzies rescind 'award' poking fun at Bruce Willis

A musical about Diana, the late Princess of Wales, and a remake of the semi-animated 'Space Jam'&nbsp;starring LeBron James took home the most Razzies, the awards that skewer the year`s lamest films on the eve of the big Oscar ceremony. 
 
The Razzies announced the winners ahead of Sunday`s Academy Awards, handing out five prizes to "Diana: The Musical," the film version of a Broadway production that closed in December after just 33 regular performances. 
 
After its ignominious demise on stage, the film version snagged Razzies for worst picture, worst actress for Jeanna deWaal in the title role, worst supporting actress for Judy Kaye, and worst director for Christopher Ashley. 
 
The Diana duo of Joe DiPietro and David Bryan claimed the worst screenplay for what the Razzies called "some of the year`s most ridiculed dialogue and lyrics, including rhyming `Camilla` with both `Manilla` and `Godzilla,`" the Razzies said in a statement announcing the winners. 
 
'Space Jam: A New Legacy'&nbsp;won three Razzies: worst actor for LeBron James, worst rip-off or sequel, and worst screen couple for James combined with any of the cartoon characters. 
 
The movie put the NBA star, shot in live action, in a cosmic basketball game with Looney Tunes characters, remaking the 1996 original with Michael Jordan. 
 
As usual, the Razzies ridiculed a former Oscar winner, naming Jared Leto worst supporting actor for his over-the-top performance as Paolo in&nbsp;"House of Gucci." 
 
The Razzies gave Bruce Willis his own special category, nominating him eight times for "Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie," in eight forgettable films. The one called "Cosmic Sin" took the prize. 
 
Four-time Razzie winner Will Smith received the only true honor, the redeemer award, for his role in "King Richard," for which Smith is also nominated for a best actor Oscar. 
 
The Razzies, the self-described "ugly cousin to the Oscars," started in 1980 as the Golden Raspberry Awards, created by UCLA film school graduates and film industry veterans John J.B. Wilson and Mo Murphy. 
 
More than 1,100 Razzie members from across the United States and about two dozen other countries vote on the awards, according to the Razzie website.

Diana musical and 'Space Jam' snag the most Razzie awards

The movie musical 'Cats'&nbsp;on Monday dominated the Razzie Awards for the worst movies of 2019, winning six trophies including worst film, screenplay and director. 
 
The results capped a dismal performance for the big-screen adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber`s hit stage show 'Cats.' 
 
The movie, with an all-star cast including Judi Dench, Taylor Swift and Idris Elba, who were&nbsp;costumed in digitally-produced fur, was ridiculed by critics and proved a box office flop, taking in just $70 million (£57.10 million). 
 
The tongue-in-cheek Razzies, or Golden Raspberries, were created in 1980 as an antidote to Hollywood’s awards season. Nominees were announced in February, a day before the Oscars, the highest honours in the movie industry. 
 
Razzie nominees and winners are voted for online by around 1,100 Razzie members from more than two dozen countries, who sign up online and pay a $40 membership fee.

'Cats' wins six Razzie Awards for 'worst films'

The widely panned movie musical "Cats" and four of its stars were nominated on Saturday for Razzie awards, an annual ritual that lampoons the worst of cinema. 
 
James Corden, Judi Dench, Rebel Wilson, and Francesca Hayward received Razzie acting nominations for their 'Cats'&nbsp;roles, in which they were costumed in digitally created fur. 
 
Oscar-winner Dench was singled out for "looking suspiciously similar to The Cowardly Lion from Wizard of Oz," organizers said in a statement announcing this year's nominees. 
 
Overall, 'Cats' was given eight Razzie nominations, tying for the lead with Tyler Perry's 'A Madea Family Funeral',&nbsp;and Sylvester Stallone's 'Rambo: Last Blood'.&nbsp;All three movies are in the running for worst picture, alongside psychological thriller "The Fanatic" and horror flick "The Haunting of Sharon Tate." 
 
'Cats', an adaptation of the popular Broadway musical of the same name, was released in December and drew widespread ridicule from film critics. The $95 million production flopped at the box office, taking in just $69.7 million at theaters worldwide, according to website Box Office Mojo. 
 
The tongue-in-cheek Razzies, created in 1980, serve as an antidote to Hollywood’s glitzy Academy Awards ceremony. Nominees were announced a day before the bestowing of the Oscars, the highest honors in the movie industry. 
 
John Travolta received two Razzie nominations this year for 'The Fanatic'&nbsp;and 'Trading Paint',&nbsp;as did Anne Hathaway for 'The Hustle'&nbsp;and 'Serenity'. Her 'Serenity'&nbsp;co-star Matthew McConaughey also was named. 
 
The worst screen combo category piled on 'Cats'&nbsp;with a nomination for "any two half-feline/half-human hairballs." 
 
It was not all bad news. Eddie Murphy was nominated for the Razzie Redeemer Reward for his role in 'Dolemite is My Name',&nbsp;along with Jennifer Lopez in 'Hustlers'&nbsp;and Adam Sandler in 'Uncut Gems'.&nbsp;The redeemer award goes to a past Razzie nominee or winner who has recently earned acclaim. 
 
Razzie nominees and winners are voted for online by around 1,000 Razzie members from more than two dozen countries, who sign up online and pay a $40 membership fee.
