Razzies 2017!

The answer to the Oscars, the Razzies are for bad films and performances. My crap detector has caused me to see far fewer bad films than in the past. This is not a good thing. One cannot completely appreciate great art unless you are exposed to garbage as well. I take exception to Batman vs Superman being so attacked. It was ok, hardly as bad as advertised. I am a bit shocked that Gods of Egypt did not win big. It was truly horrible.

Here are the nominees and winners of this year’s Golden Raspberry! “Winners” in Green

Worst Picture

It is strange looking back at the 2016 election and the BS propaganda such as this film. Compared to the daily propaganda from the White House this almost seems quaint in comparison. I will admit- Gods of Egypt was robbed, with Zoolander No 2 close behind.

• “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”
• “Dirty Grandpa”
• “Gods of Egypt”
• “Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party”
• “Independence Day: Resurgence”
• “Zoolander No. 2”

Worst Actor

D’Souza is terrible. I’d have personally slapped it on Gerard Butler or Ben Stiller though.

• Ben Affleck – “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”
• Gerard Butler – “Gods of Egypt & London Has Fallen”
• Henry Cavill – “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”
• Robert De Niro – “Dirty Grandpa”
• Dinesh D’Souza [as Himself] – “Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party”
• Ben Stiller – “Zoolander No. 2”

Worst Actress

Sheesh, a D’souza sweep of the top 3!

• Megan Fox – “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows”
• Tyler Perry – “Boo! A Madea Halloween”
• Julia Roberts – “Mother’s Day”
• Becky Turner [as Hillary Clinton] – “Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party”
• Naomi Watts – “Divergent Series: Allegiant & Shut-In”
• Shailene Woodley – “Divergent Series: Allegiant”

Worst Supporting Actress

100% deserved. The normally awesome Wiig was the worst thing in this terrible movie.

• Julianne Hough – “Dirty Grandpa”
• Kate Hudson – “Mother’s Day”
• Aubrey Plaza – “Dirty Grandpa”
• Jane Seymour – “Fifty Shades of Black”
• Sela Ward – “Independence Day: Resurgence”
• Kristen Wiig – “Zoolander No. 2”

Worst Supporting Actor

I would have given this to Will Ferrell, the 2nd worst thing in Zoolander No 2, but I can understand the Eisenberg hate. A misstep.

• Nicolas Cage – “Snowden”
• Johnny Depp – “Alice Through the Looking Glass”
• Will Ferrell – “Zoolander No. 2”
• Jesse Eisenberg – “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”
• Jared Leto – “Suicide Squad”
• Owen Wilson – “Zoolander No. 2”

Worst Screen Combo

No Way. Gods of Egypt, a Madea Halloween, and Zoolander all had a stronger claim. This is the pro-Marvel bias showing.

• Ben Affleck & His BFF (Baddest Foe Forever) Henry Cavill – “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”
• Any 2 Egyptian Gods or Mortals – “Gods of Egypt”
• Johnny Depp & His Vomitously Vibrant Costume – “Alice Through the Looking Glass”
• The Entire Cast of Once Respected Actors – “Collateral Beauty”
• Tyler Perry & That Same Old Worn Out Wig – “Boo! A Madea Halloween”
• Ben Stiller and His BFF (Barely Funny Friend) Owen Wilson – “Zoolander No. 2”

Worst Director

• Dinesh D’Souza and Bruce Schooley – “Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party”
• Roland Emmerich – “Independence Day: Resurgence”
• Tyler Perry – “Boo! A Madea Halloween”
• Alex Proyas – “Gods of Egypt”
• Zack Snyder – “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”
• Ben Stiller – “Zoolander No. 2”

Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel

Nope. Worse than Zoolander 2? They are smoking crack.

• “Alice Through the Looking Glass”
• “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: Dawn of Justice”
• “Fifty Shades of Black”
• “Independence Day: Resurgence”
• “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows”
• “Zoolander No. 2”

Worst Screenplay

I can almost agree with this one if Gods of Egypt wasn’t there to poop on everything. The film had script issues though.

• “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”
• “Dirty Grandpa”
• “Gods of Egypt”
• “Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party”
• “Independence Day: Resurgence”
• “Suicide Squad”

Redeemer Award

Mel Gibson’s comeback with Hacksaw Ridge earns him the Redeemer award. Deserved.

Well, that’s another year of Razzies. Batman vs Superman is not worthy of the hate it gets. Story of the night: Gods of Egypt was robbed.
