The annual Golden Raspberry Awards, most likely higher generally known as the Razzies, has introduced its nominations for the worst in movie in 2024, and it is maybe not a shock that Joker: Folie à Deux is within the lead with seven nominations. Sony’s superhero stinker Madame Internet and Francis Ford Coppola’s muddled Megalopolis are additionally being dishonored with a half-dozen noms every.
But in addition within the combine with an opportunity to take dwelling the “$4.97 gold spray-painted” statuette is 2024 videogame adaptation Borderlands, which has earned six Razzie nominations—and that features some particular consideration for its chatty little robotic Claptrap.
Borderlands was a bomb in each sense of the phrase, getting destroyed by critics and followers alike, and barely recouping sufficient on the field workplace to cowl its advertising prices, not to mention the $115 million reported funds.
Racking up six Razzie nominations seems like salt within the wound, however these Hollywood stars are presupposed to have thick skins, proper?
Borderlands’ Razzie nominations are for the next:
- Worst Image
- Worst Director (Eli Roth)
- Worst Actress (Cate Blanchett)
- Worst Supporting Actor (Kevin Hart)
- Worst Supporting Actor (Jack Black)
However that is not the top of derision for Jack Black’s efficiency as Claptrap. The sixth Razzie nomination for Borderlands seems in a particular class referred to as “Display Combo,” which apparently consists of scenes that includes “Any Two Obnoxious Characters (However Particularly Jack Black).”
That looks as if a reasonably closely stacked deck, and it means he is nominated for 2 separate performing Razzies for a similar character in the identical film. I have not seen Borderlands myself, however I discovered Claptrap fairly grating within the video games, so I help these nominations in spirit.
It will get worse: Black is additionally nominated for Worst Actor for his function in Expensive Santa, so he is really received three performing Razzie noms throughout simply two films. Harsh.
However there’s loads of hate to unfold round. Jerry Seinfeld additionally acquired a Worst Performing nom for Unfrosted, Jon Voight was nominated for Worst Supporting Actor in all 4 films he by some means made in 2024, and Kraven the Hunter received a sprinkling of abuse for Worst Screenplay and Worst “Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel,” although I am undecided it really qualifies for any of these issues. You may learn the remainder of the Razzie nominations on the official web site.
