While movie enthusiasts eagerly await the 2025 Academy Award nominations, the Golden Raspberry Awards—popularly known as the Razzies—have jumped ahead, revealing their picks for the year’s worst movies and performances. Marking their 45th edition, the Razzies continue to call out cinematic misses in a uniquely lighthearted way.
This year, Joker: Folie à Deux dominates the field with seven nominations, including Worst Picture, Worst Actor for Joaquin Phoenix, and Worst Actress for Lady Gaga. Despite a $200 million budget, the film was poorly received by critics and audiences alike, earning just $206 million at the global box office. In stark contrast, its 2019 predecessor was a billion-dollar phenomenon.
Other films making the cut include Borderlands, Madame Web, Megalopolis, and Reagan, each with six nominations. Star-studded performances from Cate Blanchett, Jon Voight, and Dakota Johnson also landed in the crosshairs of Razzie voters.
