This has been such a weird awards season. With everything pushed back, I’ve forgotten what awards are even out there. And like Kaiser said yesterday, nominations are getting announced for things I thought had already passed. In the flurry of Award Catch Ups, the Golden Raspberries announced their 2021 nominees over the weekend. The Razzies as they are more commonly known, reward the worst movies and performances from the past year. They always have a couple of Oscar winners or nominees in the mix each year but this year, they have a bunch of them, including Robert Downey, Jr. for Doolittle, Kate Hudson for Music, Anne Hathaway for The Last Thing He Wanted and current best supporting actress nominee, Glenn Close, for Hillbilly Elegy.

I’m surprised they are films on this list I haven’t heard of. There are plenty I haven’t seen, but I usually at least recognize all the titles. Of these, the only two I’ve actually watched were Hubie Halloween and Wonder Woman 1984. Both deserve Razzies, although Gal Gadot deserves a nomination before Kristen Wiig. The other films that I’ve heard of but didn’t see were either because they looked terrible or I was warned so these noms make sense. Except Borat, that got so much love at the Golden Globes. I assume the nominations it received are more of a comment on Rudy Giuliani and not the film itself. And certainly not poor Maria Bakalova. I’m still bummed Fantasy Island was so bad. I think the concept of Fantasy Island but as a horror film sounded genius. I wish the right team had made it.

I want to believe RDJ has enough of a sense of humor to have fun with this should he win. Kristen Wiig definitely would. The most interesting nominee here for me is Glenn Close. There is a small chance she’ll get the “we owe it to her” Oscar this year. Only two other people have been nominated for an Oscar and a Razzie for the same role in the same year – Amy Irving for Yentl and James Coco for Only When I Laugh. Neither won either award the year they were double nominated. Who knows, maybe this is Glenn’s year to break all the records and take home both the Oscar and the Razzie. After all, that wig won’t be ignored, Dan.
