The annual Golden Raspberry Awards, most likely higher often called 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 Web and Francis Ford Coppola’s muddled Megalopolis are additionally being dishonored with a half-dozen noms every.
But additionally within the combine with an opportunity to take house 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 price range.
Racking up six Razzie nominations appears like salt within the wound, however these Hollywood stars are purported to have thick skins, proper?
Borderlands’ Razzie nominations are for the next:
- Worst Picture
- Worst Director (Eli Roth)
- Worst Actress (Cate Blanchett)
- Worst Supporting Actor (Kevin Hart)
- Worst Supporting Actor (Jack Black)
But that is not the tip of derision for Jack Black’s efficiency as Claptrap. The sixth Razzie nomination for Borderlands seems in a particular class referred to as “Screen Combo,” which apparently consists of scenes that includes “Any Two Obnoxious Characters (But Especially Jack Black).”
That looks like a reasonably closely stacked deck, and it means he is nominated for 2 separate appearing 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 assist these nominations in spirit.
It will get worse: Black is additionally nominated for Worst Actor for his position in Dear Santa, so he is truly received three appearing Razzie noms throughout simply two motion pictures. Harsh.
But there’s loads of hate to unfold round. Jerry Seinfeld additionally obtained a Worst Acting nom for Unfrosted, Jon Voight was nominated for Worst Supporting Actor in all 4 motion pictures 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’m unsure it truly qualifies for any of these issues. You can learn the remainder of the Razzie nominations on the official website.
