The Golden Raspberry Awards celebrate the worst movies of Hollywood and more every year. Nicknamed the Razzies, the popular awards show is a parody of the Oscars and gives out awards such as Worst Actor, Worst Actress and Worst Movie to high profile names.
This year introduces the special category of “Worst Bruce Willis Performance in a 2021 Movie” due to a high number of films starring Bruce Willis to have come out last year (eight films in total).
The winners of the 42nd Golden Raspberry Awards will be announced on Saturday, March 26.

The ballot was criticized for snubbing critically panned performances and films like He’s All That, Red Notice, Thunder Force, and Cinderella, the nomination of mostly irrelevant pictures, the fact that the “Worst Screen Combo” category has no actual couples of actors.
