Awards Season 2020: Razzies Winners


So, we can finally say that Awards Season 2020 is over, as the Razzie Awards have announced their picks for the worst films and performances of 2019. 

Originally, the ceremony- celebrating 40 years of the Razzies- was due to be broadcast last Saturday (14th March); however, due to the coronavirus pandemic, plans were somewhat changed and a video was released instead (with usual Razzie tongue-in-cheek humour, this was referred to as the "Lock-Down Edition"). 

Here are all the "winners":


Worst Picture: Cats

Worst Director: Tom Hooper (Cats)

Worst Actor: John Travolta (The Fanatic and Trading Paint)

Worst Actress: Hilary Duff (The Haunting of Sharon Tate)

Worst Supporting Actor: James Corden (Cats)

Worst Supporting Actress: Rebel Wilson (Cats)

Worst Remake, Sequel Or Rip-Off: Rambo: Last Blood

Worst Screen Combo: Any Two Half-Feline/Half-Human Hairballs (Cats)

Worst Screenplay: Cats

Worst Reckless Disregard For Human Life And Public Property: Rambo: Last Blood

Razzie Redeemer: Eddie Murphy (for his performance in Dolemite Is My Name)


So, to nobody's surprise, Cats takes the lion's share of the awards (sorry, couldn't resist) snaffling 6 awards from its 8 nominations [although to be fair, it had two nominations in both Worst Supporting Actress and Worst Screen Combo, so a clean sweep was never going to be possible]. Rambo: Last Blood limps away with 2. 

Thankfully, this year's experiment of a truncated awards season will NOT be repeated for 2021, with the Oscars going back to the end of February next year. So, just eight months to go until this circus starts up again...
