Before watching how the Oscar®-nominated Suicide Squad fares tonight at the Academy Awards, it's time to turn your attention to the esteemed Razzie Awards. Voters with $40 dollars to burn from around the world have put their stamp of disapproval on a handful of 2016's films.
Dinesh D'Souza's Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party took away the top prize for Worst Picture, in addition to three other major awards. Meanwhile, Zack Snyder's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice collected four of its own awards, including Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel. The Academy Award®-nominated Suicide Squad escaped unscathed. Hacksaw Ridge filmmaker Mel Gibson picked up the Razzie Redeemer Award, empirical evidence that he has been cleansed of any and all past sins. See below for the full list of winners:
