Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey Sweeps Razzies With Five "Wins," Including Worst Picture
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey and Expend4bles were both Golden Raspberry "winners."
The biggest night in Hollywood is taking place tomorrow night, which means the worst night in Hollywood kicked off this evening. The 44th Golden Raspberry Awards winners were announced today, and Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey was the big winner, er, the big loser of the night. According to Razzies.com, the low-budget horror movie took home the "prizes" for Worst Picture, Screen Couple, Remake/Rip-Off/Sequel, Director, and Screenplay.
It's not a surprise Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey took home five Razzies considering it earned a spot in some "worst movies of all time" lists and got a 3% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. Blood and Honey may have been a critical disaster, but it was a huge financial success. The movie managed to gross over 60 times its budget last year, and a sequel is right around the corner.
Other Razzie "winners" this year included Jon Voight in Mercy for Worst Actor, Megan Fox in Johnny & Clyde for Worst Actress, Sylvester Stallone in Expend4ables for Worst Supporting Actor, and Megan Fox in Expend4ables for Worst Supporting Actress.
Marvel Studios Gets First Razzie Nominations:
This year's Razzies caught the attention of Marvel Cinematic Universe fans when Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania received nominations for Worst Director, Worst Supporting Actor for both Michael Douglas and Bill Murray, and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off, or Sequel. Other projects adjacent to the MCU such as Sony's Morbius have gotten nominated for the Razzies before, but Quantumania marked the first time a Marvel Studios film got "recognized" by the awards. The movie ended up being one of the MCU's worst-rated in the franchise, earning a 46% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes.
As for next year, we have a feeling Sony's Madame Web is going to be a big contender at the controversial awards.
