The Golden Raspberry The Razzies acknowledge the fact that where there are shining examples of cinema each year, there are also those films that shine only because they're still moist. 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: The NetFLIX version of Broadway's biggest bomb of the year, Diana the Musical (the stage version of which didn't even last 40 performances)That multi-bajillion-dollar, straight-to-streaming time travel turkey Infinite: The hopelessly on-the-nose / can't-we-all-just-get-along melodrama Karen (whose title character makes Cruella seem like a nice neighbor)That 115 minute Time/Warner corporate sales reel posing as a family film, Space Jam: A New LegacyAnd a lifeless, pointless "re-imagining" of a seminal Hitchcock classic, Rear Window. 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v1moCL5G_3Ao 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.
