Nominees for this yearâs Golden Raspberry Awards were announced yesterday, and I think itâs safe to finally say it: The Razzies have jumped the shark.
They really donât try to seek out the worst in film anymoreâĻthey just pick a handful of major studio releases they want to dump on, and then try to fit them into every single category.
For instance, this yearâs Worst Picture nominees are âTransformers: The Last Knight,â âFifty Shades Darker,â âBaywatch,â âThe Emoji Movie,â and âThe Mummy.â
Wouldnât you know that almost every other category is dominated by these movies, and all five of them make up the Worst Screenplay category. Itâs like the Razzies basically just exist to beat up on movies that annoy them. The Worst Screen Combo category is a perfect example of this. (As youâll see below.)
The only category that these five movies donât dominate is Worst Actress, where only Dakota Johnson from âFifty Shadesâ represents. That oneâs actually got an OSCAR WINNER in it: Jennifer Lawrence from âMother!â And I bet she would show up to collect if she won. I bet theyâd even rig it so she won if they knew she was coming.
