2019 Razzie Awards

  1. The BBC observed that McCarthy is also nominated for an Oscar, for a different performance (this IIUC being why she also gets the Redeemer award) — and that she’s not the first performer to get both recognitions in a single year.

  2. Amy Adams and Sandra Bullock were both nominated for an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year, though for different performances. In both cases, I actually preferred the razzie nominated film to the Oscar nominated one. And Halle Berry won both an Oscar and a Razzie in different years and showed up for the Razzie ceremony in a beautiful gown, Oscar in tow, and then later posed with Oscar and Razzie.

  3. Way I hear it, Donald Trump narrowly pipped Will Ferrell to the post for worst actor and ((with Reilly) combo. Ferrell’s continuing Hollywood career is a bigger mystery to me than Trump’s election to the Oval Office, but I gave up watching the former’s movies years ago. Holmes & Watson certainly won’t lure me back,
