Classless

The razzies are already mean-spirited & classless, but to nominate a kid is just repulsive & wrong. Why put a kid at risk of increased bullying or worse? Be better.

Don't Pretend

The Razzies don't get to pretend to care about women when they nominated Shelly Duvall for The Shining and just last year awarded Kate Hudson and Maddie Ziegler for performances that were not their fault. pic.twitter.com/bC5gZyq3OK

Generally Awful

The Razzies are generally awful but they always come through with the Worst Screen Couple category. Never more so than the second Blonde nomination here. pic.twitter.com/vLBjDRXyAQ

Razzies Suck

Razzies suck and are not worth giving any serious thought. Nowhere is their uselessness more clear than the annual Worst Screen Couple award, where the most creative minds of the Razzies attempt some gut-busting zingers. pic.twitter.com/FDQAaopaqP
