The idea that he was bad in The Last Duel is an absolutely psychotic take to me.

That's my point, they just saw that Affleck was in a movie that bombed financially so they're gonna nominate him for a Razzie regardless of the quality of the performance. For whatever reason the Hollywood press hates his guts and looks for any opening to pile on him.

I was complaining about him in the Last Duel thread but even I admit his performance is good, it might be his best ever. I just find him personally distracting

I mean, these are joke awards instead of a serious attempt to quantify something. They are always going to be poking fun at something rather than identifying some lowest budget, lowest effort indie student film level horror film as the actual worst movie of the year.

The Bruce Willis category is pretty funny, is that a new one? I have to always weigh my feelings on Willis because I'm still not sure if he's actually experiencing severe mental decline and is being exploited (as has been alleged) or if he is simply mailing in awful performances in scam films

Yeah, it has to do with the fact that he has done a bunch of seagal esque trash fire films over the last couple of years.

Even if he has some underlying issue and is trying to make money to support his family, the sheer dogs hit nature of putting his name on a bunch of films that basically don't involve him is fairly lovely and deserves to be called out.

Time for a little robot chauvinism!

The Razzies are only interesting when they nominate actual good performances. And even then they're like mildly amusing for a few seconds.

I don’t care how bad Dear Evan Hansen is I refuse to believe Amy Adams gave a bad performance in it.

And they couldn’t even find five actual “couples” for the Screen Couple category, lazy af

Maybe a lot of people are still very angry about Pearl Harbor.

Also, Diana: The Musical? What the gently caress?

I didn't realize what a rough couple of years Amy Adams has had. Hillbilly Elegy, The Woman in the Window and Dear Evan Hansen are some major league stinkers.

Do you find something comical about my appearance when I'm driving my automobile?
Does anyone find the Razzies funny anymore? There's so many venues to talk about bad movies and to really rip into them.

And what's worse is that their jokes are all safe. Hahaha! Space Jam 2 was a bad film!

Hey what next? Jokes about airline food?

I never found them specifically funny. And the Bruce Willis award has not aged well considering the aphasia revelations.

It's been more of a passing interest to watch the worst picture winners/nominees to get a feel for some of the maligned films in a given year. Yes, I know it's all subjective but it it's a starting point.
