As we know, 2024 was a terrible year for movies. Usually, the Razzie Awards are mean-spirited, but in 2024 most of them are fully deserved.
So, the nominations are:
Worst Picture
- Borderlands
- Joker: Folie a Deux
- Madame Web
- Megalopolis
- Reagan
There’s a few missing off that list, Kraven springs to mind.
Director
- J. Clarkson / Madame Web
- Francis Ford Coppola / Megalopolis
- Todd Phillips / Joker: Folie a Deux
- Eli Roth / Borderlands
- Jerry Seinfeld / Unfrosted
I didn’t think Unfrosted was that bad, I mean, it’s not going to win an Oscar, but it wasn’t that bad.
Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel
- The Crow
- Joker: Folie a Deux
- Kraven the Hunter
- Mufasa: The Lion King
- Rebel Moon 2: The Scargiver
Screenplay
- Joker: Folie a Deux
- Kraven the Hunter
- Madame Web
- Reagan
- Megalopolis
Actor
- Jack Black / Dear Santa
- Zachary Levi / Harold and the Purple Crayon
- Joaquin Phoenix / Joker: Folie a Deux
- Dennis Quaid / Reagan
- Jerry Seinfeld / Unfrosted
I think Black is a poor choice, Dear Santa was crappy, but I thought Black was good in it.
Actress
- Cate Blanchett / Borderlands
- Lady Gaga / Joker: Folie a Deux
- Bryce Dallas Howard / Argylle
- Dakota Johnson / Madame Web
- Jennifer Lopez / Atlas
That’s a tough one as they were all awful!
Supporting Actor
- Jack Black (Voice Only) Borderlands
- Kevin Hart / Borderlands
- Shia LaBeouf (in drag) / Megalopolis
- Tahar Rahim / Madame Web
- Jon Voight / Megalopolis, Reagan, Shadow Land & Strangers
Bit of a shame that Voight is on there for four movies.
Supporting Actress
- Ariana DeBose / Argylle & Kraven the Hunter
- Leslie Anne Down (as Margaret Thatcher) / Reagan
- Emma Roberts / Madame Web
- Amy Schumer / Unfrosted
- FKA twigs / The Crow
Screen Combo
- Any Two Obnoxious Characters (But Especially Jack Black) / Borderlands
- Any Two Unfunny “Comedic Actors” / Unfrosted
- The Entire Cast of Megalopolis
- Joaquin Phoenix & Lady Gaga / Joker: Folie a Deux
- Dennis Quaid & Penelope Ann Miller (as “Ronnie and Nancy”) / Reagan
I think they are being mean-spirited towards Megalopolis. It was a very odd movie and a passion project from Ford-Coppola. I can see why they are making fun of it.
For me, the stand-out winners of the Razzie Awards should be Joker: Folie a Deux, Madame Web or The Crow. Overall, it’s a tough one for 2024. It was a terrible, terrible year.
And, just to add, who saw Regan? Anyone?
