Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/03/2021 (2020 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Rudy Giuliani’s questionable appearance in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm has garnered him a couple of 2021 Razzie nominations.
On Friday, the 41st annual Golden Raspberry Awards, which honours the year’s worst movies, unveiled their nominations and the former New York City mayor received two nods in the Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Screen Combo category.
In the acclaimed Sacha Baron Cohen flick, the Trump consigliere is featured in a hidden camera scene seemingly fondling himself in front of a woman he was apparently trying to seduce in a Manhattan hotel room this past summer.
The film makes it clear the 76-year-old political figure thought the much younger woman was a conservative journalist interviewing him for a show.
Other notables that drew Razzie attention was the ill-fated Robert Downey Jr. remake Dolittle, Sia’s Music, and My Pillow owner Mike Lindell’s stolen election documentary Absolute Proof.
Bruce Willis scored three nominations for three different films in the same category.
Oscar winner Anne Hathaway and Katie Holmes also were nominated twice for two different films in the Worst Actress category.
The Razzies also awarded a Special Governors’ Trophy to the year 2020 as The Worst Calendar Year EVER.
The reimagined Fantasy Island movie and Adam Sandler’s Netflix comedy Hubie Halloween also struck out this year among Razzie voters.
Usually announced the day before the Academy Awards, the Razzie Awards were rescheduled this year — like every other awards ceremony — due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since 1980, under the shingle of The Golden Raspberry Foundation, UCLA film graduates and film industry veterans present the satirical ceremony as a parody of the Academy Awards.
This year’s winners will be unveiled April 24.
The star-studded, box office bomb Cats, which Razzie organizers described as a “widely derided feline flop,” also scored eight nominations, alongside Sylvester Stallone’s audacious Rambo sequel.
