2020 Razzie Awards

[Big Magilla]

The Razzies have released a long list of potential nominees ahead of the March 14 announcement of the nominees for the 41st Golden Raspberry Awards, the day before the Oscar nominations are announced. The actual awards will be on April 24, 2021, the day before the Oscars.

Glenn Close could become the third actor after James Coco and Amy Irving to be nominated for an Oscar and a Razzie for the same performance, but why isn't Amy Adams among the contenders for Worst Actress?

WORST PICTURE

365 Days – A Polish remake of Fifty Shades of Gray, this film not only got a rare 0% Rating at RT but was also found so sexually offensive that 95,000 signed a petition to remove it from Netflix…

Absolute Proof – This “documentary,” financed by and starring “The My Pillow Guy” Mike Lindell, purports to “prove” the canard that “voting irregularities” resulted in the 2020 Presidential election being “stolen.”

All 3 “Barbie & Kendra” Movies – Made for next-to-nothing (but worth even less) these quickie straight-to-streaming titles popped up like pimples on America’s backside during the Covid Shutdown…

Dolittle – The last Big-Budget Box Office Bomb theatrically released before The Lockdown, Dolittle is a totally faithless umpteenth remake of the classic book about a man with a gift for talking to the animals.

Fantasy Island – This oddball remake takes the old TV series (“De plane! De plane!”) and crossbreeds it with Twilight Zone for a dark and decidedly murky “re-imagining” which almost nobody liked.

Hubie Halloween – Adam Sandler produced and stars in this dim-witted trick-or-treat tale of a Town Idiot who “rescues” All Hallows Eve…just by being an Insufferable Dork.

Love, Weddings & Other Disasters – A failed “Rom-Com” (4% @ R.T.) which follows several couples in a plot that stumbles along as awkwardly as does Diane Keaton playing a clumsy blind woman.

The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson – Like last year’s Razzie “winning” Haunting of Sharon Tate, this low budget oops-fest finally “solves” the “mystery” of who killed Nicole. SPOILER ALERT – It wasn’t O.J.!

Music – A mis-guided “musical comedy” about an autistic teen-ager who “learns about life” under the guidance of her new guardian, this has a 90% Negative Rating on R.T. and is loathed by autistics everywhere.

The Wrong Missy -Adam Sandler produced this laff-free R-off of The Hottie & the Nottie, in which David Spade accidentally invites an “ugly” girl to a corporate retreat instead of the sexy blonde he just met. UGH!!
