As this year's awards season gets underway, Hollywood prepares to celebrate the very best - and worst - that 2024 had to offer.

The Academy Award nominations were recently delayed due to the California wildfires, but we do have the nominations for the Golden Raspberry Awards, and several superhero/comic book-based movies were "honored" in a number of categories.

Not too surprisingly, Warner Bros.' Joker sequel picked up the most nominations, with stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga up for Worst Actor, Todd Phillips for Worst Director, and more. Sony Pictures' Madame Web was a close second with noms in six categories, tied with Megalopolis and Reagan.

Lionsgate's ill-fated The Crow reboot picked up two.

Nominees were chosen were via emailed ballots to 1,202 Razzie members from 49 States and about two dozen foreign countries who chose five top contenders in each of nine categories.

The Razzies began back in 1981, and the Oscars parody show was seen as a bit of harmless fun for many years (Halle Barry even showed up to collect her Worst Actress award for Catwoman), but the annual "celebration" of the worst cinema has to offer has come in for a lot of backlash over the past few years.

What do you guys make of the Razzie Awards? Is it time to call it a day, or are people being too sensitive? Be sure to drop us a comment down below, and check out the full list of nominees.

What was Kraven a "Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel" to?

ProfessorWhy - 1/21/2025, 5:01 PM

@HashTagSwagg - prequel to the "That's So Kraven " TV show

ThorArms - 1/21/2025, 5:19 PM

@HashTagSwagg - Yeah that makes no sense...unless they consider it a rip-off of SpiderMan?? In which case why wasn't Madame Web nominated? Oh well, no point in spending too much time analyzing these ones 😂

MakeAmericaGrea - 1/21/2025, 5:32 PM

@HashTagSwagg -
Maybe because it takes place in a cinematic universe.

But it's not exactly a sequel to the Venom trilogy, Morbius, and Madame Web.

SATW42 - 1/21/2025, 5:05 PM

The Razzies are so weird to me. It's just a big troll fest that for some reason gets media attention.

Moriakum - 1/21/2025, 5:07 PM

I still remember a lot of people here guaranteeing that Lady Gaga would win the Oscar for Joker Pretentious Title. It was funny.

ThorArms - 1/21/2025, 5:07 PM

Was Joaquin actually bad in Joker 2? Never watched.

HashTagSwagg - 1/21/2025, 5:12 PM

@ThorArms - He's alright, bit too over the top in some parts like when he's doing the impersonation in the court room, it got to the point were he actually got annoying. Not the kinda performance that breaks or saves a film though.

harryba11zack - 1/21/2025, 5:20 PM

@ThorArms - his prison scene was pretty bad ass

Mercwitham0uth - 1/21/2025, 6:52 PM

@harryba11zack - Was that the part where he fought the long dick of the law?

Feralwookiee - 1/21/2025, 9:22 PM

@harryba11zack - More like sore ass.

TCronson - 1/21/2025, 9:43 PM

@ThorArms - he wasn't, at all, neither was Gaga. Some imbeciles nominated them just to jump on hate wagon.

MakeAmericaGrea - 1/21/2025, 5:34 PM

I wonder if Not Captain America will get any Razzie nominations.

EskimoJ - 1/21/2025, 7:29 PM

@MakeAmericaGrea - Count down to 2026 to see.

MakeAmericaGrea - 1/21/2025, 8:13 PM

@EskimoJ -
Obviously.

Solarkalel85 - 1/21/2025, 5:35 PM

So happy to see Jack Black nominated not once but twice

DocSpock - 1/21/2025, 6:23 PM

They should add a new category: Worst studio. Just about all of those perversion pushing pathetic garbage spewing Hollyweird studios would get trashed like they richly deserve.

#RazziesSoWhite

Where’s the diversity? Are people going to be outraged that there’s no diversity in these nominations or is that saved for the other equally bullshit awards?

newhire13 - 1/21/2025, 7:26 PM

@IronMan616 - Yeah because Jennifer Lopez, Kevin Hart and Tahar Rahim are incredibly white 🙄

MyCoolYoung - 1/21/2025, 8:39 PM

@IronMan616 - What's ironic is that, in your snark, you may have uncovered both the issue and the nonissue. Despite a few race and "diversity hires," Hollywood is still overwhelmingly and predominantly white—hence why a little diversity was needed in the first place.

Friendly reminder: 78% of the top theatrical releases feature white leads, and 60% of all Hollywood roles are filled by white individuals. That leaves the remaining 40% for all other races to share.

Fascinating stuff.

kider2 - 1/21/2025, 9:30 PM

@MyCoolYoung - so 60% is accurate right?

White Americans constitute the majority of the 332 million people living in the United States, with 71% of the population in the 2020 United States census, including 61.6% who identified as 'white alone.'

MyCoolYoung - 1/21/2025, 10:03 PM

@kider2 - that’s all movies. You missed 78% of the top theatrical releases and before the diversity push that number was high 70s.

So if what you’re arguing is 60% whites in films is accurate, cool, but then why are people mad about “perfect” representation numbers wise?

thobie1 - 1/21/2025, 6:34 PM

I finally saw the second Joker movie and didn't think it was poorly done, just really boring and pointless.

MakeAmericaGrea - 1/21/2025, 8:15 PM

@thobie1 -
So it was poorly done with some competent lighting and compositions?

DREAMER - 1/21/2025, 6:37 PM

So many Turds this year, it's going to be a great Ceremony!

Forthas - 1/21/2025, 6:42 PM

I am surprised Rebel Moon did not get more nominations. If I am being honest, Joker and Kraven were better films all around which is a microscopically high bar. The worst film I saw last year was Werewolves.

Rocket38 - 1/21/2025, 6:45 PM

Borderlands also got 6 nominations so technically it tied with Joker. If any film on this list deserves the win, it’s that monstrosity. Joker 2 has some great cinematography and Hildur’s score even for those who hate it to enjoy, and Madame Web is a fun kind of bad where you can at least laugh at it. Borderlands tried to be funny and was just horrendous to both the eyes and ears.

Ironbot - 1/21/2025, 8:02 PM

Unsurprisingly the Sony produced marvel movies are all nominated. Goes to show how little Sony cares about quality

kider2 - 1/21/2025, 9:31 PM

@Ironbot - but Venom 3 isn't on the list?

Luigi - 1/21/2025, 10:27 PM

And the worst award show goes to...

These nominees are insane. Just because an actor is in something bad, that doesn't mean they were the "Worst Actor of the Year"
