Razzie Nominations Prove as Tirelessly Irrelevant as Usual

In an age when the immediate mockery of bad movies is just a click away—such a right here on this site—the Razzie Awards nonetheless persist as an annual, dated tradition of quite literally sticking one’s tongue out at the worst of cinema. This year’s Razzie nominees have just been announced, and they manage to feel even less relevant and hopelessly pointless than usual thanks to their being unequivocally wrong.

Is Independence Day: Resurgence a worse film than, say, Nine Lives? Was Ben Affleck’s acting what mucked up Batman v Superman? Was Julia Roberts actually bad in Mother’s Day? Again, honestly, did you see fucking Nine Lives? The answer to all of these questions is almost certainly no, yet those are the takeaways you’d get looking at this list of nominees that brings up Dirty Grandpa more times than anyone else on Earth has since the film’s release.
