Awards season isnât all golden statues and gushing praise. Some movies are just stinkers, at least according to the 2024 Golden Raspberry Awards nominations, which provide a list of some of the organizationâs picks for last yearâs least noteworthy big screen bombs.
Leading the roster for the 44th annual edition of the least distinguished films is the fourth episode of the arthritic action franchise Expend4bles, which got seven nominations, including worst picture, worst supporting actress (Megan Fox), worst supporting actor (Sylvester Stallone), worst screen couple (âany 2 âMerciless Mercenaries’â), worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel, worst director and worst screenplay.
Hot on Sly and companyâs heels were the gang from The Exorcist: Believer and Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey, the bloody exploitation flick that took advantage of end of the 95-year copyright protection term on author A.A. Milneâs beloved 1926 book Winnie-The-Pooh, with both films earning five nomination each.
A couple of superhero movies also racked up multiple noms, with the messy Shazam! Fury of the Gods and the confounding Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania getting four each.
The worst actor and actress categories are a mix of box office legends and action movie staples, with the men led by Oscar-winner Russell Crowe (Popeâs Exorcist), who will battle Vin Diesel (Fast X), Chris Evans (Ghosted), Jason Statham (Meg 2: The Trench) and Jon Voight (Mercy). On the womenâs side, Oscar-winner Dame Helen Mirren (Shazam! Fury of the Gods) is in a tight race with Ana de Armas (Ghosted), Fox (Johnny & Clyde), Salma Hayek (Magic Mikeâs Last Dance) and Jennifer Lopez (The Mother).
Lopezâs work as a former U.S. Army operative on the hunt for her kidnapped daughter earned notice a the awards that have been razzing the Hollywood establishment since 1981.
