2020 RAZZIE AWARDS


"Cats", the big screen adaption of the beloved stage musical, swept the 40th annual Golden Raspberry Awards or as they are better known as The Razzies, a prize which spotlights the worst achievements in cinema. The musical had tied with " A Madea Family Funeral" and "Rambo: Last Blood" for the most nominations with eight and walked away with six awards including Worst Picture. The Razzies had planed to stream the ceremony live for the first time on March 14th but had to cancel due to the Coronavirus pandemic and announced the winners on March 16th with a press release.

There were two new categories added this year; Worst Reckless Disregard for Human Life and Public Property with "Rambo: Last Blood", Sylvester Stallone's inexplicable fifth installment of the Vietnam War veteran, taking this prize and something actually positive, the Razzie Redeemer Award. This award will honor a prior Razzie-nominated actor who have "redeemed" themselves with an impressive performance in the previous year. Eddie Murphy was the first winner for his remarkable work in the comedy biopic, "Dolemite Is My Name".
