Netflix’s film version of Diana the Musical, based on Princess Diana’s life story, has received nine Razzie nominations. The awards called it “Broadway’s biggest bomb of the Year”.
It is up for worst film, while Jeanna De Waal (Diana), and Roe Hartrampf(Charles) are up for worst acting.
Bruce Willis is the unfortunate recipient of his own category.
It will be a win for Bruce Willis’ star in Worst Performance in a 2021 film.
It includes eight films, including Out of Death and Survive the Game.
The Razziesorganisers refer to their awards as “ugly cousins to the Oscars” and highlight the worst films of the year. They reveal their winners on 26/03/-the day before Oscars.
The critical reaction to Diana the Musical was negative. It only lasted for 33 Broadway performances until it was closed. Netflix streamed the film before it reached Broadway. This was because the entertainment industry was struggling with coronavirus restrictions, and Broadway theatres were closed during filming.
Amy Adams and Jared Leto are up for two awards each.
Leto wins the award for the House of Gucci’s worst supporting actor. Leto also wins the screen couple of the year for his latex face (which is the stage make up used to transform him into Paolo Gucci), his clothes, and his “ridiculous accent”.
BBC film critic Mark Kermode also had issues with Leto “doing something” in the movie and made comments on it during BBC Radio 5 Live’s Kermode and Mayo program.
Leto may have the last laugh on Tuesday if he wins an Oscar nomination as best supporting actor in the same film.
The film Karen, about a racist white woman who is on a mission displace the black family that just moved in next to her, received five nominations for Coke Daniels.
Five nominations were also given to Psychological thriller The Woman in the Window, which received worst actress nominations for Adams and worst director nominations for Joe Wright. Both films are up for worst remake, rip-off, or sequel.
Adams was also nominated for a supporting role in Dear Evan Hansen.
Ben Affleck, Mel Gibson and Dangerous are up for the worst supporting actor award for The Last Duel.
LeBron James, Ben Platt, Mark Wahlberg, and Dear Evan Hansen are the worst actor candidates alongside Hartrampf. Ruby Rose, Megan Fox, and Mark Wahlberg are up for Worst Actor for Vanquish. Space Jam: A New Legacy received four nominations.
Last year, Sia was named the worst director for her controversial movie Music. The awards, now in their 41st anniversary, have previously honored films such as Cats and Showgirls.
