Worst of the worst: ‘Madame Web’ takes ‘top’ trophy at Razzies awards
Pamela Anderson has won a Razzie she can be proud of.
The winners of this year’s awards for the best of the worst in cinema – known as the Razzies – were announced Friday, and Anderson won the Razzie Redeemer for her performance in “The Last Showgirl.”
The Golden Raspberry Awards (the formal name for the Razzies) celebrate what they view as Hollywood’s movie duds. In keeping with its history, the “winners” are announced annually ahead of the Academy Awards ceremony, which this year will be held March 2.
“Madame Web” led this year’s Razzies with three wins, followed by “Joker: Folie a Deux,” “Megalopolis” and “Unfrosted” with two apiece.
“Megalopolis” director Francis Ford Coppola took to Instagram on Friday morning to say he was “thrilled” to accept his award for worst director, writing in part, “In this wreck of a world today, where ART is given scores as if it were professional wrestling, I chose to NOT follow the gutless rules laid down by an industry so terrified of risk that despite the enormous pool of young talent at its disposal, may not create pictures that will be relevant and alive 50 years from now.”
