Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Ariana DeBose, FKA Twigs and Jack Black are among the music stars who are nominated for Golden Raspberry Awards. The Razzies, as they are commonly known, have been criticized as catty, cruel and sophomoric, but they endure because they offer an antidote to Hollywood’s ever-expanding season of self-congratulation.
It’s a simple fact that in the life of a performer, some projects are successful and some aren’t. Gaga’s Joker: Folie à Deux did not find its audience, but, happily, even as her Razzie nomination is announced, her “Die With a Smile” collab with Bruno Mars is in its third week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. And she is heading into the Grammy Awards on Feb. 2 as a double nominee for that sumptuous smash.
Six of this year’s Razzie nominees are past Oscar winners, which again shows that sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, to quote an old Carole King song. In addition to Gaga, Oscar winners on this year’s Razzie list are Joaquin Phoenix (her co-star in Joker: Folie a Deux), DeBose, Cate Blanchett, Jon Voight and Francis Ford Coppola.
Joker: Folie à Deux, the musical sequel to Todd Phillips’ 2019 film Joker (which received 11 Oscar nominations and won two) leads the field with seven Razzie nominations. Madame Web, Megalopolis, Borderlands and Reagan are close behind with six nods apiece.
Joker: Folie à Deux is competing for worst picture with Borderlands, Madame Web, Megalopolis and Reagan. It is vying for prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel with The Crow, Kraven the Hunter, Mufasa: The Lion King and Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver.
Leslie Anne Down is nominated for a Razzie for playing Margaret Thatcher in Reagan. Meryl Streep won an Oscar for playing the late British Prime Minister in The Iron Lady.
The Razzie winners, if that is the right word, will be announced on March 1, the day before the Academy Awards.
