2021 RAZZIES AWARDS


We are less than a month away before the Oscars, but we will also have the Razzies. These are the awards given out to the worst that cinema had to offer last year. The Worst Picture nominees include "365 Days", Poland's version of "50 Shades of Grey" that involves a Sicilian man who imprisons a Polish woman for a year in order for her to fall in love with him. The Robert Downey Jr. remake of the man who talks to animals, "Dolittle" which ties "365 Days" with the most nominations at six. A re-imagining of the popular '70's television show, "Fantasy Island" with it now as a supernatural-horror movie. "Music", pop star, Sia's directorial debut, a Golden-Globe nominated musical about a former drug dealer who becomes the guardian of her younger half-sister who is autistic. And there's "Absolute Proof", a documentary on the "My Pillow" guy, Mike Lindell's false claims about the 2020 Presidential election and attempts to overturn the results. I have no real opinion on how bad these films are since I've not seen any of them but I also never had any interest in seeing them either. The one interesting nomination here is Glenn Close receiving Worst Supporting Actress for her role in "Hillbilly Elegy" while also getting an Oscar nod for the same performance. The Razzies will be given out on April 24th, the day before the Academy Awards.
