INDIANAPOLIS — As is tradition, it's time to recognize the worst of the worst before we acknowledge the best!
The Golden Raspberry Awards — better known as the Razzies — announced the nominees Monday for its 42nd year, honoring the worst films and performances of 2021.
The "dishonorable mentions" are named one day before the Oscar nominations are revealed, and the awards are also given out one day before the Academy Awards.
"Diana: The Musical," a filmed performance that debuted on Netflix prior to opening on Broadway, led the way with nine nominations, including Worst Picture, Worst Actress (Jeanna de Waal) and Worst Actor (Roe Hartrampf). Unsurprisingly, the show closed on Broadway after 33 performances and 16 previews.
Six-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams was double nominated, as Worst Actress ("The Woman in the Window") and Worst Supporting Actress ("Dear Evan Hansen").
Speaking of "Dear Evan Hansen," Ben Platt received a nomination for Worst Actor — the same role which won him Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical at the Tony Awards in 2017. The transition from stage-to-screen clearly didn't work in Platt's favor, with the film currently sitting at 30% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Last year, Glenn Close was nominated for an Oscar and Razzie for the same performance in "Hillbilly Elegy." Oscar-winner Jared Leto ("Dallas Buyers Club") will hope to join Close when Oscar nominations are announced Tuesday morning with his over-the-top performance as Paolo Gucci in "House of Gucci," which also earned him a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination.
And nearly leading this year's nominations single-handedly is action star Bruce Willis, in a special category, titled "Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie."
