Golden Raspberry Awards Date
The Golden Raspberry Awards Date is set for March 11, 2023, the night before the 2023 Academy Awards. This year’s list has a few surprising entries, as well as a few that anyone could have expected.
The Golden Raspberry Awards Overview
The Golden Raspberry Awards, also known as the Razzies, are an annual awards ceremony that honors the worst films, actors, and filmmakers of the year in the film industry. The Razzies are typically held the day before the Academy Awards, which honor the best films and performances of the year.
The awards were created in 1981 by John Wilson, who wanted to create a lighthearted, satirical alternative to the more serious awards shows. The Razzies are typically presented in categories such as Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Actress, Worst Screenplay and Worst Director.
Winners of the Razzies are selected by the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation, which comprises film industry professionals, journalists, and fans. The awards are presented in a humorous, irreverent manner, with winners often accepting their awards in person and delivering tongue-in-cheek speeches.
The Golden Raspberry Awards Predictions and Betting Odds
The following picks highlight the 2023 Golden Raspberry Award predictions and betting odds.
Worst Actor
The nominees are:
- Colson Baker (aka Machine Gun Kelly) – Good Mourning
- Tom Hanks (As Gepetto) – Disney’s Pinocchio
- Jared Leto – Morbius
- Pete Davidson (Voice Only) – Marmaduke
- Sylvester Stallone – Samaritan
The pick for the worst actor is Colson Baker. His unfunny performance in Good Mourning landed him a zero on Rotten Tomatoes. Even with Disney’s Pinocchio remake being heavily criticized, that feat will be hard to top.
Surprisingly, Tom Hanks and Sylvester Stallone make the list in this category. However, Baker’s overall poor performance will be tough to beat.
Worst Actress
The nominees are:
- Bryce Dallas Howard – Jurassic Park: Dominion
- Diane Keaton – Mack & Rita
- Kaya Scodelario – The King’s Daughter
- Alicia Silverstone – The Requin
- Ryan Kiera Armstrong – Firestarter
Some household names make the list for this category. While Diane Keaton and Alicia Silverstone stand out for the worse-than-expected performances, the frontrunner seems to be Bryce Dallas Howard for her role in Jurassic Park: Dominion.
Howard’s underwhelming performance has been criticized despite the film’s overall box-office success. More than ever, critics are unimpressed with big-budget blockbusters.
Worst Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel
The nominees are:
- Blonde
- 365 Days: This Day & The Next 365 Days
- Disney’s Pinocchio
- Jurassic World: Dominion
- Firestarter
Unfortunately, some popular names made the list for this category. Disney’s Pinocchio and Jurassic Park: Dominion headline big-name films to garner the least critical acclaim. But the frontrunner for this category figures to be Blonde. The biopic focused on Marilyn Monroe’s life has landed serious criticism from moviegoers and critics alike.
Worst Director
The nominees are:
- Colson Baker (aka Machine Gun Kelly) – Good Mourning
- Andrew Dominik – Blonde
- Daniel Espinosa – Morbius
- Robert Zemeckis – Disney’s Pinocchio
- Judd Apatow – The Bubble
Baker looks like a lock for his second Razzie of the evening. On the whole, the film got virtually zero acclaim, making Baker the frontrunner to take home a second Razzie.
Worst Movie
The list for Worst Movie features some top-billed movies. However, top billing and A-list actors were not enough to save these films from this dubious nomination.
The field is relatively close. But their odds are in:
- Morbius (+100)
- Pinocchio (+250)
- The King’s Daughter (+350)
- Blonde (+500)
- Good Mourning (+800)
Like Jurassic Park: Dominion, critics are unimpressed with big-budget blockbuster films. As a result, Morbius gets the nod as the odds-on favorite to take home the Razzie for the worst film.
Despite a solid performance from star Jared Leto, the movie failed to impress critics with big names, great special effects, and a decent storyline. Sadly, the movie failed to wow critics.
Morbius’s inclusion in this category signals that critics are not easily impressed by over-the-top productions. While they may be box office hits, blockbusters need to up their game in order to gain more critical acclaim.
