The anti-Oscars are being dominated by another project about Princess Diana. This comes after the Kristen Stewart-led Spencer earned its fair share of awards buzz. Diana, The Musical,the filmed version of the ill-fated Broadway show, made a bow today with nine nominations to the 42nd annual Razzie Award.
Nine noms were awarded to the show for the 2022 Golden Raspberries. They covered nearly all categories including Worst Picture and Actress, Actors, Directors, Screenplay, and Director. The Woman in the Window (Karen) is a distant second with five each, followed by Space Jam : A New Legacy with four, Infinite with three and The Misfits at three.
Here is how the Razzies handicapped its own Worst Picture race: “This year’s Worst Picture nominees include: The NetFLIX version of Broadway’s biggest bomb of the year, Diana, the Musical (the stage version of which didn’t even last 40 performances); that multi-bajillion-dollar straight-to-streaming time travel turkey Infinite; the hopelessly on-the-nose/can’t-we-all-just-get-along melodrama Karen (whose title character makes Cruella seem like a nice neighbor); that 115-minute Time/Warner corporate sales reel posing as a family film, Space Jam: A New Legacy; and a lifeless, pointless “re-imagining” of a seminal Hitchcock classic, The Woman in the Window.”
This year, Bruce Willis is up against… Bruce Willis in a special category. The eight-time nominee for Worst Performance by Bruce Willis Movie is the action-movie veteran. It covers everything from American Siege to Survived the Game.
These are the nominees for the 42nd Annual Razzie Awards.
