The 2024 Razzie noms are here

Well, folks, it’s time for the worst person you know’s favorite awards ceremony, honoring such luminary films as 100-acre slasher Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey and swampy survival drama Meg 2: The Trench—one that we actually predicted would make this list way back in August. That’s right, everyone: it’s Razzie time!

For the uninitiated (or, you know, anyone with taste) the Golden Raspberry Awards—a.k.a. The Razzies—honor the worst in film throughout the year as a salve or… something from all that Oscars talk. This year, nominations were collected from a voting body of “1,179 movie buffs, film critics and journalists from 49 U.S. states and two dozen foreign countries,” so you can rest assured that this really does represent the best of the worst.

“After strikes, lingerings of a worldwide plague and a general sense of universal agoraphobia, the decline of the cinematic experience goes without saying,” the Razzies said in a statement. “Thankfully, a doll pic and a bomb movie jump-started the Industry, which still left behind a trail of Pooh for the Razzies to pick up!”

This year, five lucky films are competing for the illustrious title of “Worst Picture.” The list is as follows, along with descriptions of each movie from the Razzies’ site:

The Exorcist: Believer—a fifty-years-later remake/rip-off that was horrifying in unintended ways

Expend4bles—another installment of a franchise that’s fading faster than Razzie “winner” Donald Trump’s mental acuity

Meg 2: The Trench—a fishy tale about a snarky shark that flopped across all seven seas

Shazam! Fury of the Gods—one of 2023’s several comic book movies failing to save the superhero genre

Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey—a defamation (and defecation) on two of the most beloved Kiddie Lit characters, “re-imagining” the huggable denizens of the Hundred Acre Wood as vicious, cannibal serial killers.

Other notable nominees include Razzie “repeat offenders” Sylvester Stallone, Megan Fox and Jennifer Lopez, as well as “Any 2 Money-Grubbing Investors Who Donated to the $400 Million for Remake Rights to The Exorcist” for “Worst Screen Couple.” The winners/losers of the 44th annual Razzies will be announced March 9, a.k.a. Oscars Eve. May the worst movie win.
