The critics have spoken.
Nominations for the 42nd Golden Raspberry Awards, more commonly known as the Razzies, were released Monday and include a musical tribute to the late Princess Diana, Jared Leto’s “House of Gucci” performance, an unrequested take on Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” and a special category dedicated entirely to Bruce Willis’ 2021 flops, CNN reported.
Netflix’s “Diana the Musical,” based on the Broadway play that closed after fewer than 40 performances, led the annual roundup of films and actors we loved to hate with nine nominations, including one for worst picture.
Two thrillers, “Karen” and “The Woman in The Window,” tied for second-most nominations at five, including worst picture and worst actress nominations for both.
Amy Adams, who earned a worst actress nod for “The Woman in The Window” also drew a worst supporting actress nomination for her turn in “Dear Evan Hansen,” the musical drama that earned four of its own nominations.
Meanwhile, actor Bruce Willis made history with Razzie officials designating an entire category to the eight films he released in 2021: “American Siege,” “Apex,” “Cosmic Sin,” “Deadlock,” “Fortress,” “Out of Death,” “Survive the Game” and “Midnight in the Switchgrass.”
According to USA Today, more than 1,000 Razzie members from the United States and more than two dozen other countries cast their 2021 ballots online. The “winners” will be announced March 26, also known as “Oscar’s Eve.”
