The Golden Raspberry Awards, colloquially known as the Razzies, announced their results on the eve of the Academy Awards, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. The ceremony continues its tradition of celebrating the year’s most notorious screen missteps and questionable creative choices.
Leading the dubious honors, the Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde, featuring Ana de Armas, was named the worst film of the past year. It also collected the Worst Screenplay award, underscoring the substantial criticism aimed at its script and storytelling approach.
Individual performances drew their share of negative attention as well. Jared Leto was named Worst Actor for his role in Morbius, while Tom Hanks earned Worst Supporting Actor for his portrayal in Elvis. Hanks and Elvis also drew a jab in the Worst Screen Duo category with the line cited as Latex face and ridiculous accent, reflecting the sharp, tongue‑in‑cheek branding the Razzies are known for.
There was an unanticipated reshuffle in the women’s categories that sparked discussion. The ceremony addressed a controversy involving the nomination of a young actress, Ryan Kira Armstrong, for a role in a Stephen King adaptation, Infaming Eyes. In response, the organizers issued the anti‑award to Armstrong, while Adria Arjona received the Worst Supporting Actressaward for her performance in Morbius, a choice that amplified the debate about youth credit and industry standards.
Machine Gun Kelly, the rapper‑turned‑actor and fiancée of Megan Fox, was singled out as Worst Director for his work on Good Mourning with Maud Sun, highlighting the community’s appetite for accountability in a year filled with risky experiments and high visibility projects.
On a lighter note, the one positive recognition went to Colin Farrell for his role in The Banshees of Inisherin, earning the Reputation Restoration Award as a nod to a career comeback narrative and renewed public esteem.
Meanwhile, industry chatter the day before the ceremony centered on the main favorites for the 95th Academy Awards, as bookmakers weighed in with early sentiment and expectations for the marquee event that would soon crown a new slate of Oscar winners.
