Razzie nominations: Blonde, Good Mourning and Pinocchio lead Golden Raspberry nods as Tom Hanks lands three mentions

Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde is leading the way in this year’s Razzies, closely followed by Good Mourning, a stoner comedy directed, produced, written and starring rapper Machine Gun Kelly.

Celebrating the worst of cinematic under-achievements, the annual Golden Raspberry Awards calls itself the “ugly cousin” of the Oscars and reveals its winners the night before the biggest awards in entertainment.

Netflix movie Blonde, starring Ana de Armas, received eight nominations including worst picture, worst supporting actors and worst director. Summing up the film, the parody awards show, said “movie-goers liked even less than critics did”.

They go on: “Called a ‘biopic that’s not a biopic,’ by its makers, it ‘explores’ the exploitation of Marilyn Monroe…by continuing to exploit her posthumously”.

Good Mourning received seven nods, including worst actor, worst screen couple and worst screenplay, with Razzies calling it: “A laugh-free stoner comedy achieving the rare feat of scoring a perfect ZERO on Rotten Tomatoes”.

Starring Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, alongside his real-life fiancé Megan Fox, the movie also has a cameo from comedian Pete Davidson.

Davidson’s performance in the film has seen him nominated in the worst supporting actor category. He also got a worst actor nod – albeit only for his voice – for his role in kids animated film Marmaduke.

Two-time Oscar winning actor Tom Hanks has the dubious honour of multiple nominations. He got a worst actor nod for his portrayal of toymaker Geppetto in Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio.

Pinocchio got six nods overall, with Razzies calling it: “Disney’s wholly unnecessary (and oddly creepy) live action/CGI remake”.

Hanks also received a worst supporting actor nod for his part of talent manager Colonel Parker in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis.

Calling his performance “widely derided”, they said pole position in the supporting actor category was currently held by: “Tom Hanks’ latex-laden, ludicrously accented portrayal of Col Tom Parker in the otherwise critically acclaimed Elvis”.

In the worst couple category, Hanks, “his Latex-laden face” and “ludicrous accent” are also listed as one of the nominations.

Accidental vampire movie Morbius – which Razzies called “the year’s most ridiculed movie” – collected five nods, including worst actor for its star, Jared Leto, and supporting actress Adria Arjona.

And, in what Razzies called a “buy one, get one free”, both 365 Days sequels – 365 Days: This Day and The Next 365 Days got nominated for worst remake / rip-off / sequel.

The Netflix erotic thriller is based on books by Polish author Blanka Lipinska, with the movies previously accused of “glamourising rape”.
