Before celebrating the best films of the season
during the Oscar ceremony on Sunday, the Razzie Awards called
out the worst on Saturday.
Despite the "Forest Gump" actor's legacy of Oscar-winning roles,
many critics and fans condemned his performance in "Elvis,"
particularly his accent.
The Razzies named Hanks worst supporting actor and worst screen
combo for the actor and his "latex face" in the film.
Joining Hanks, biographical drama "Blonde," starring Ana de
Armas as Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe "won" Razzies for both
worst picture and screenplay. De Armas, however, is in the
running for best actress for the role at Sunday's Academy
Awards.
Also taking home a Razzie is Jared Leto, who portrays Michael
Morbius, and Adria Arjona, who portrays Dr. Martine Bancroft, in
the Sony Marvel film "Morbius." Both win for worst actor and
worst supporting actress.
The Redeemer Award, which is granted to a previous Razzie
contender who's redeemed themselves following their unfavorable
fall to Razzie status, goes to Colin Farrell for the Oscar
nominated film "Banshees of Inisherin."
Farrell was nominated in 2004 in the Razzie worst actor category
for "Winter's Tale," but as a now 2022 best actor front-runner
for his leading role, he has escaped from Razzie prison,
possibly rising to Oscar status on Sunday.
Finally, the Razzies awarded itself the worst actress award
after it nominated 12-year-old "Firestarter" actress Ryan Kiera
Armstrong for a Razzie. After allegations of bullying, Armstrong
was later removed from the Razzie ballot.
The Razzies, the self-described "ugly cousin to the Oscars,"
started in 1980 as the Golden Raspberry Awards, created by UCLA
film school graduates and film industry veterans John J.B.
Wilson and Mo Murphy.
More than 1,100 Razzie members from across the United States and
about two dozen other countries vote on the awards, according to
the Razzie website.
