The 44th Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, honored the worst the film industry had to offer in 2023 on March 9, 2024.[1][2][3] The awards are based on votes from members of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation (1,179 movie buffs, film critics and journalists from 49 US States, and two dozen foreign countries).[1] The nominations were announced on January 22, 2024.[1][4][5][6][7]

Furthermore, with four nods, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania earned the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) its first-ever Razzie nominations, breaking the franchise's 16-year streak without a single Razzie Award nomination.[8][9][10]

In August 2023, a statement by John J. B. Wilson and Maureen Murphy announced that the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation was considering the possibility of setting a new precedent by awarding Walt Disney Studios the Barry L. Bumstead Award to an entire studio for the first time ever (and not just an individual theatrical film); ultimately, the award was not presented.[11] This was due to the studio's centennial anniversary releases (e.g. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Elemental, Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, The Little Mermaid, The Marvels, Peter Pan & Wendy, and Wish) causing "the once phenomenally profitable Walt Disney Pictures [to suffer] failure after failure at the box office"[11][12] when "corporate honchos had hoped to spend th[e] entire year celebrating a century of success".[11]

Upon hearing of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey sweeping every award it was nominated for, the film's writer-director (Rhys Frake-Waterfield) reacted in an interview for Variety, stating: "I'm surprised our micro-budget film is being compared to Hollywood, but nevertheless I don't mind the dubious honor as it places me in the same pool as directors whose work I admire so much."[13]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ A defamation (and defecation) on two of the most beloved Kiddie Lit characters, "re-imagining" the huggable denizens of the Hundred Acre Wood as vicious, cannibal serial killers[1]
  2. ^ A fifty-years-later remake/rip-off that was horrifying in unintended ways[1]
  3. ^ Another installment of a franchise that's fading faster than Razzie "winner" Donald Trump's mental acuity[1]
  4. ^ A fishy tale about a snarky shark that flopped across all Seven Seas[1]
  5. ^ One of 2023's several comic book movies failing to save the superhero genre[1]
  6. ^ labeled as Indiana Jones and The Dial of...Still Beating a Dead Horse[1]
  7. ^ labeled as Indiana Jones and The Dial of...Can I go home now?[1]
