The 2023 Razzie Awards give themselves the Worst Actress prize after wading into controversy by nominating Firestarter's 12-year-old star.
The Razzies have opted not to award the Worst Actress prize to anyone this year. When the nominations for the bad movie awards were announced this January, they were instantly mired in controversy. Included on the list was Ryan Kiera Armstrong, the 12-year-old star of the Blumhouse remake Firestarter, a nomination they rescinded after online reactions accused them of bullying a child.
Per Entertainment Weekly, the 2023 Razzie Award winners have been announced. While a lot of the usual suspects were awarded, including the Jared Leto superhero vehicle Morbius and Tom Hanks' villainous performance in Elvis, the Worst Actress award went to The Razzies themselves.
While the Razzies were created in a spirit of fun that Berry embraced, they have waded into controversy from the beginning. This includes nominating Shelley Duvall for her performance in 1980's The Shining in their very first year. While they recently rescinded that nomination, the past few years have been tough for the Razzies.
In 2022, they came under fire for creating a special award making fun of Bruce Willis' glut of direct-to-video movies. While they initially stood by their decision, they eventually eliminated the category in the wake of his diagnosis of aphasia and subsequent retirement.
