Every filmmaker, actor, producer or anyone associated with Hollywood has a dream of one day lifting the Oscar. Many accomplish this dream, while some are stuck with the much dreaded Razzie Awards.

But for some, their work in cinema in a particular year is so bad that they eventually end up winning these awards.

Razzie Awards 2024 nominations led by Expand4bles
Razzie Awards is a strange anomaly in Hollywood, which is able to call out and even make fun of the weirdly obsessed nature of many traditional awards in the industry and the general discourse around them. Mostly presented as a knockoff to the prestigious Oscar awards, the Razzies want to do the opposite to what the Academy does. They want to honor and especially call out the worst movies of the year and even level the playing field of the whole awards race.
For the 2024 edition of the awards, the nominations for the Razzies were announced just before that of the Oscars. This year, the Sylvester Stallone starrer Expand4bles, which is the fourth installment in the Expendables franchise, is leading the race for these awards. With a whopping seven nominations, the action entertainer is ahead of many of its competitors which includes Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey as well the The Exorcist: Believer.
Not only that, even acclaimed Oscar winning actors like Russel Crowe, Jon Voight and Hellen Mirren have earned the Razzie nominations for their acting performances in some of the worst films of the year.
