If there’s room for the best, technically there’s also room for the worst… and that’s where the Golden Raspberry Awards, aka the Razzies, come in. The voting body has just announced their nominations for this past year, and as usual, they’re a doozy.
The live-action Snow White film, which starred Rachel Zegler in the title role, and Ice Cube’s recent remake-adaptation of War of the Worlds topped the list of nominations with six each. Just below those comes The Weeknd’s highly divisive feature Hurry Up Tomorrow, which landed five nominations with the parody awards show.
All three projects are nominated for the Razzie for worst picture alongside The Electric State and Star Trek: Section 31, and both War of the Worlds and Hurry Up Tomorrow were recognized in the worst actor category for Ice Cube and The Weeknd’s performances respectively. The music personalities compete against Dave Bautista, Scott Eastwood, and Jared Leto for the recognition undoubtedly none of them want.
Interestingly enough, the worst actress category features names normally not spoken alongside the word “worst.” Natalie Portman and Michelle Yeoh are nominated, two women who have actual Academy Awards to their name. Additionally, Ariana DeBose, Milla Jovovich, and Rebel Wilson were nominated in the category.
Worst actor nominations include Dave Bautista for In the Lost Lands and Jared Leto in box office flop Tron: Ares. The Russo Brothers, currently busy with Avengers: doomsday, get a worst director nomination for Netflix's The Electric State.
That said, this particular voting body is always making sure to throw a sense of humor into the mix. This time, they’ve quite literally nominated “all seven artificial dwarves” from the live-action Snow White remake in the worst supporting actor category.
