You’d be hard-pressed to discover a extra beleaguered awards physique than the HFPA, the hosts of the Golden Globes. However as evidenced by their triumphant return to community tv, albeit on a Tuesday night time, their assurances of elevated transparency, range, and bottomless champagne have been sufficient to lure Brad Pitt away from his pottery studio. Nonetheless, even sufficient champagne to fill the Nile can’t restore the Golden Raspberry Award Basis to its glory days when massive stars like *checks notes* Tom Inexperienced accepted their awards in individual. Final yr The Razzie Awards got here beneath hearth for devoting a whole class to the work of Bruce Willis, who, as we all know, suffers from aphasia.

After folks complained that the nomination, and the awards themselves, have been “mean-spirited“ and “classless,” Razzies co-founder John Wilson’s preliminary response was to inform Buzzfeed that “the craze is attention-grabbing, maybe considerably justified, however I believe overblown.” Did I point out that Ryan was 11 on the time of filming and discovered find out how to light-grown males’s asses on hearth along with her thoughts for the function? Based on The Independent:
Responding to the criticism, Razzies co-founder John Wilson instructed Buzzfeed that roughly 1,100 voting members put Armstrong in fifth place, however organizers had nonetheless debated whether or not to incorporate her due to her age.
They finally determined to respect the votes and embrace Armstrong.
“I can see the way it may very well be taken that manner [as mean]. I don’t suppose that was the way it was meant,” Wilson mentioned. “I believe individuals who get upset about it – I don’t even know find out how to say this. The trend is attention-grabbing maybe considerably justified, however I believe overblown.
“There’s a righteousness about it. It’s the Razzie Awards, for goodness’ sake!”
Wilson admitted that the Razzies had in all probability “misstepped very badly”.
Oh, you suppose? Nicely, it wasn’t till John’s chonies burst into flames that he realized simply how badly he had misstepped. Based on Variety:
The Razzie Awards have launched an age restrict for nominations following blowback after 12-year-old Ryan Kiera Armstrong (pictured above) was nominated for Worst Actress.
In a press release, Razzies founder John Wilson apologized and confirmed Armstrong’s identify has been faraway from the poll. He additionally mentioned that going ahead under-18s wouldn’t be eligible to be nominated for the awards.
In a press release, Wilson known as the criticism “legitimate” and mentioned Armstrong’s identify had been faraway from the poll. He added: “We additionally consider a public apology is owed Ms. Armstrong, and want to say we remorse any damage she skilled because of our selections.”
Mess with hearth, son; you’re gonna get burned. Mess with my lady Ryan; you’re gonna get incinerated. Because of this, and lots of, many others, I hereby nominate The Razzie Awards for Messiest Awards Season Bitch for the second consecutive yr. Don’t agree with me? Nice. Pay me $40 bucks, and I’ll allow you to develop into a voting member. That’s how voting rights for the Golden Raspberry Academy work anyway.
