Oh brother.
Winnie the Pooh was the big winner in Saturday’s Golden Raspberry Awards, better known as the Razzies, winning awards for the worst screenplay; Worst Director; Worst on-screen couple; Worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel; and the worst movie overall.
“Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” obtained 3% among critics and 50% among the public about rotten tomatoes. Post film critic Johnny Oleksinski called it a demented, sick indie horror film.
Other Razzie champions include Oscar winner Jon Voight, 85, for his “Lucky Charms Leprechaun” Irish accent in the 2023 crime thriller “Mercy.”
Megan Fox, 37, took home a pair of trophies, for Worst Actress (“Johnny & Clyde”) and Worst Supporting Actress (“Expend4bles”), a rare Razzie feat.
Sylvester Stallone received another Razzie, for worst supporting actor (“Expend4bles”). Stallone, 77, is the king of the razzies with double-digit wins.
And the Razzie Redeemer Award, given to a previous contender who enhanced his resume, was awarded to SAG/AFTRA President Fran Drescher, 66, for “her brilliant guidance of the actors guild through a prolonged 2023 strike, with a very successful conclusion.” .”
Last year, the Razzies awarded “Blonde” for worst film and worst screenplay; Machine Gun Kelly and Mod Sun for worst director (“Good Mourning”); and Jared Leto for worst actor (“Morbius”).
There was no Worst Actress winner after child actor Ryan Kiera Armstrong was nominated for “Firestarter.” Razzie co-founder John Wilson apologized for the “insensitive” move in January 2023.
“The recent valid criticism of the selection of 11-year-old Armstrong as a nominee for one of our awards brought to our attention how insensitive we have been in this case,” Wilson’s statement read in part. “As a result, we have removed Armstrong’s name from the final ballot our members will cast next month.”
The Razzies, first held on March 31, 1981, were co-founded by Wilson, a graduate of the School of Theatre, Film and Television at the University of California, Los Angeles, now a copywriter in the entertainment industry, and Maureen Murphy , video editor.
The parody awards show, which takes place the day before the annual Academy Awards, is inspired by the phrase “blow a raspberry,” which implies the noise resembling a fart.
