While space was jammed in 2021 with the likes of Bezos, Elon and a telescope exploring escape routes, we simple Earthlings who did not “Look Up” remained glued to the Razzie crap streaming, beaming and steaming from our various screens and devices. It wasn’t all mainstream stuff either. In fact, genre films took more than their share of nominations.
Here’s a look at what they saw … the excruciating musicals, thrill-free thriller rip-offs, a nearly 2 hour product placement flick, and more Bruce Willis than any starving viewer could stomach. In other words, 2021 did not fail the Razzies!
As the ugly cousin to the Oscars, the Razzies duly follow in the footsteps of their more prestigious and dull counterpart’s rules and regulations. So, with the Academy guidelines allowing non-traditional releases to compete, so did the Razzies.
This year’s Worst Picture nominees include:
Acting nominees include an otherwise great actress, Amy Adams (with nods for both Woman in the Window and Dear Evan Hansen); LeBron James, who most likely dunked his chances for basking in the cinema limelight by starring in Space Jam 2; and a Razzie Regular whose appearance in no less than EIGHT titles in 2021 bagged him a category all to himself (Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie).
You really have to sink one to qualify for your own category. It’s noteworthy that despite his choices of vehiclesBruce Willis is working a lot. He’s been in the Die Hard series, Looper, two Sin City movies, The Sixth Sense, The Fifth Element, Surrogates, 12 Monkeys and a pile of other genre films, but at this point he’s 66 year old, so he hasn’t got a lot of leading man years left in him. Maybe he’s doing them for fun. Maybe he’s packing them in while he can still get leading man roles, who knows? But it’s not a great look for him at the moment.
A complete list of nominations is included below and is also available online at Razzies.com. Here’s the Official Nominations Video.
Voting Razzie Members (1,128 from 49 US States and over two dozen foreign countries) cast their 2021 ballots online, selecting five top contenders in each of nine categories. This year’s “Winners” will be unveiled on the now traditional date of “Oscar Eve,” Saturday, March 26th.
