Hollywoods biggest night of self-congratulations is just days awaywhich means the annual anti-Oscars, the Razzie Awards, are here to land a few more blows on 2024s biggest misfires, disappointments, head-scratchers, and box-office flops. After the genre-heavy nominations dropped last month, its no surprise to see the Batman-adjacent Joker: Folie Deux claimed some prizes, though the top spot (and the most-awarded title, with three tropies) went to a movie io9 has found cause to defend on more than one occasion: the Spider-Manadjacent Madame Web. The 2024 Razzie Awards named Madame Web Worst Picture, while also singling out lead actress Dakota Johnson and its screenplay (by Matt Sazama & Burk Sharples and Claire Parker & S.J. Clarkson). Joker: Folie Deux was awarded for the screen combo of Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, and it also took the Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel category. Actor and supporting actress went to Unfrosteds Jerry Seinfeld and Amy Schumer, respectively; Jon Voight got a multi-part supporting actor nod for a year that included Megalopolis, Reagan, Shadow Land, and Strangers. And speaking of Megalopolis, director Francis Ford Coppola was a good sport about his own dubious honor, writing on social media that he saw the movies Razzie recognition as a distinctive honor at a time when so few have the courage to go against the prevailing trends of contemporary moviemaking! 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. Will people be watching Madame Web 50 years from now? If it continues its current tentative trajectory toward the cult-movie pantheon, well never say never? The Razzies do hand out a redeemer award for a past winner made good (this year it was Pamela Anderson for The Last Showgirl, nearly 30 years after being dinged for 1997s Barb Wire), so anything is possible.
