Razzies 2022: nominees for Hollywood's worst movies and actors
As they've always done since their beginnings in 1981, the Razzies have announced the nominees for Hollywood's worst of the year, one day before the announcement of the Oscar nominations.
The golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, are a questionable honor to receive. However, they are so well-established that many of their winners come to the gala in person to pick them up.
This year, as usual, there is some controversy surrounding the nominations. They are a bit embarrassing, after all.
One of the controversies is the Raspberries' nomination of Ben Affleck for his role in 'The Last Duel', a performance that others have marked as one of the actor's best jobs.
A much weirder case is that of Jared Leto. He's been nominated for a Razzie with his role of Paolo in 'House of Gucci.' However, experts predict that he could win the Oscar for that same role as well!
Bruce Willis deserves an honorable mention. This year, he gets his own category in the Razzies.
For some time now, Bruce Willis has specialized in small, well-paid roles for films that would otherwise go straight to streaming. With him on the poster, however, they attract slightly better audiences.
This interesting turn in his career has caused him to participate in no less than eight projects in 2021. The Razzie committee decided to nominate him for all of them. A first!
We will have to wait until March 26 to find out which Bruce Willis movie is the worst of the year. In addition, it will be known on that day which other movies and roles have been awarded a Raspberry Award. Click further to see the nominees!
