After nominating a 12-year-old for no other reason than to be mean, it is time to retire the tired joke that is TheRazzies.
\nThe Razzies are an annual 'awards' show that shines a light on what some would consider the 'worst' films and performances every year in film. Started in 1981 by two UCLA film students, the satirical awards show has been well publicized in the past, with celebrities actually playing into the joke and showing up to collect their awards.
Not right away, mind you; they retracted the category, since it was 'inappropriate to award a Golden Raspberry to someone whose performance was affected by a medical condition.' How thoughtful. I had been critical of Willis and his willingness to appear in anything, but never to that degree, which brings us to this year's awards. The nominations came out recently, and they nominated 12-year-old Ryan Kiera Armstrong for worst actress for her performance in last year's Firestarter.
