On February 8, local time, the nomination list of the 40th Golden Raspberry Awards was announced. As this year's Oscars are held much earlier than in previous years, the Razzie Awards, which are designed to "recognize" bad films and bad acting skills, have also changed their conventions, from announcing the list of winners the day before the Oscars in the past to only announcing the list of nominees.
"Just because the Oscars have accelerated the 2020 schedule, the entire industry has been under tremendous pressure and has also reimbursed everyone's vacation." Therefore, in order to let everyone eliminate some of the tension, our Golden Raspberry Awards management decided not to take the Oscars this year, and set another award time. The Golden Raspberry Award organizers noted in a statement. The specific disclosure time has not yet been given by the organizers.
The list of nominees for this year's Golden Raspberry Awards was revealed in the form of a parody of the quiz scene
Although there are only nominations, because 2020 coincides with the fortieth anniversary of the Golden Raspberry Awards, the shortlist has been revealed in a much more elaborate way than in previous years: a group of comedians parodyed the quiz scene in the form of a sketch and posted on its YouTube channel.
Judging from the results, this year's "worst" battle can be described as quite fierce. Three films received the highest eight nominations, namely "Cats" (cats), which was criticized by film critics, "A madea family funeral" of the "Black Crazy Woman Series" of the golden raspberry old fritters, and "Rambo: last blood" (rambo: last blood), which made many male compatriots watch the blood. Moreover, all three films received four nominations: Worst Film, Worst Supporting Actress, Worst Mash-up, and Worst Script.
As for why "First Blood 5", which made straight men shed a handful of sympathetic tears, ended up competing with "Cats", "The Funeral of the Black Crazy Woman", "The Fanatic", and "The Haunting of Sharon Tate" to compete for the worst movie, the explanation given by the organizers of Golden Raspberry is that the film "insults people's intelligence".
The African-American actor Tyler Perry in "The Funeral of the Black Mad Woman" has been nominated for the worst actress for the fifth time, and he has won twice in 2014 and 2018 with "The Christmas of the Black Crazy Woman" and "Halloween 2 of the Black Crazy Woman". This year's competitors include Hilary Duff in "Unforgettable Sharon Tate," Anne Hathaway in "Hustle" and "Serenity," Francesca Hayward in "Cats," and Rebeel Wilson in "The Thief of Hearts." In addition, because Taylor Perry played multiple roles in the film, the male character he played was also shortlisted for two of the worst supporting actors, the combination of "Taylor Perry and himself" was shortlisted for the worst mix-and-match, plus the worst script, which was equivalent to one person receiving five nominations, setting a record for the Golden Raspberry Award.
This year's worst actor shortlist is mainly popular male stars. For example, the aging Stallone ("First Blood 5"), the former literary god James Franco ("Dream Break"), the second consecutive year-old John Cuvota ("Racing Legend"), the Oscar best actor winner Matthew McConaughey ("The Wave Puzzle"), who became a box office poison, plus David Haber in "Hellboy: The Rise of the Blood Queen".
The only positive razzie redeemer award at the Golden Radberry Awards was equally intractable, with Eddie Murphy in "My Name Is Domatt," Keanu Reeves in "Ready for 3" and Toy Story 4, Adam Sandler in "Rough Diamond," Jennifer Lopez in "The Dancing Lady," and Will Smith in "Allah Lantern."
Stills from Joker
It is worth mentioning that this year, Golden Raspberry has set up a new award for the most disregard for people's lives and public property, and the Oscar hit "Joker" is also one of the shortlisted films, the other four films are "Dragged across concrete", "Unforgettable Sharon Tate", "Hell boy: Rise of the Blood Queen" and "First Blood 5".
Other highlights include ThatRebel Wilson was shortlisted for both The Worst Actress and the Worst Supporting Actress, and James Franco was shortlisted for both the Worst Actor and the Worst Director. Jessica Chastain ("X-Men: Dark Phoenix") and Judy Dunge ("Cat")," who have always been known for their acting skills, have also been shot this time.
