The Razzie Awards revealed their nominations with the ‘worst’ films and performances of 2022. Oscar winner Tom Hanks and Pete Davidson were double nominated for their work last year. Ana de Armasstarrer Blonde tops the list with eight nominations. Machine Gun Kelly’s comedy Good Mourning followed with seven noms. But many fans online felt the Razzies went too far by nominating 12-year-old Ryan Kiera Armstrong as Worst Actress for her performance in Firestarter.

This isn’t the first time the Razzies have nominated a child. Previously, actors Gary Coleman were nominated as a 12-year-old and Macaulay Culkin as a 13-year-old in 1994. A Twitter user shared, “We’re picking up 12-year-old girls now, Razzies? Cool cool cool.” Another added: “The Razzies: ‘yes, let’s nominate a 12-year-old child actor for Worst Actress, for sure nothing harmful will happen in her career in the future, such as blacklisting, bullying, abuse, depression, addiction. , and suicide en route.'”
Others felt that the Razzies were only bullying some artists. One user wrote, “Maybe it’s just me, but nominating a 12-year-old girl for something that’s “worst” feels like outright bullying to me. Then again, I never expected a lesson from this horrible organization. No idea why they still exist #razzies #razzieawards.” Another user pointed out the organization’s double standards in the past when it came to other matters. They wrote, “The #Razzies in 2022: “We recant how badly we offended Bruce Willis and Shelley Duvall, that was just cruel. The Razzies in 2023: “Let’s make fun of this 12-year-old girl for doing her best in a movie that wasn’t great!”
Other films that received multiple nominations included Morbius, starring Jared Leto, Disney’s Pinocchio, and the sequel to Netflix’s widely acclaimed 365 Days. The awards, which call themselves the “ugly cousin of the Oscars,” will announce their winners for their 43rd edition on March 11, one day before the Oscars. They announced their nominations two days before the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).
