A Golden Raspberry Award is not something may filmmakers aspire to receive. Unlike the Oscars, it certainly does not celebrate the movie industry’s brightest and best, and rather the opposite is mocked for all to see. But who are nominated for Razzies this year, and who is likely to win?
This year, some of our favourite talents have made it onto the worst list of the year, which is a real shame of them.
Stars like Rebel Wilson, Jessica Chastain, and even Judi Dench have found themselves on the list, however there is one award which people may be willing to win.
One award, the Razzie Redeemer Award, is an award to congratulate the star who has previously done some raspberry-worthy work, but has turned it around in glorious fashion.
Needless to say, a couple of movies have shown up all over the list, which is a sad thing for those involved.

One movie is Cats, the CGI disaster which was removed from consideration lists for the Oscars.
The movie even had multiple versions being sent into cinemas, in an effort to call on those viewing to celebrate some positive changes.
This sadly did not work, and Rebel Wilson and James Corden even poked fun at themselves by dressing up as their Cats characters at the Oscars.
Both of them have sadly picked up nominations for their performances in the movie, so they perhaps won’t be laughing for much longer.
Other than Cats, Fred Durst’s The Fanatic has appeared in the list a couple of times, with the director and the movie’s star, John Travolta, looking like potential winners/losers.
Stranger Things star David Harbour is even in the list for his version of Hellboy, while Tyler Perry has numerous nominations for his movie A Madea Family Funeral, where he plays his famous character Mabel “Madea” Simmons.
Finally, and most importantly, perhaps, is Sylvester Stallone’s inclusion for the movie Rambo: Last Blood.
The film did not gain much critical praise and, on its release, even garnered the writer of the original Rambo book to tweet his dismay at what the movie business had made his character.
Writer David Morell tweeted: “I felt degraded and dehumanised after I left the theatre. Instead of being soulful, this new movie lacks one.
“I felt I was less a human being for having seen it, and today that’s an unfortunate message…
“The sets here look cheap. The direction is awkward… Rambo could be called John Smith, and the film wouldn’t change.
“It assumes the audience is familiar with Rambo’s background, whereas anyone under 40 will wonder what on Earth is going on with those tunnels.”
