Golden Raspberry: Who Received the Award for Worst Role.

In Hollywood, they not only love to support their favorites but also criticize them for their role choices. There is a special award for this. Some call it humiliation, while others see it as mere entertainment. This award is given for the most disastrous films, and undoubtedly, no one wants to receive it. 

Every year, the list of those who have received the Golden Raspberry is quite unpleasant. After all, the Golden Raspberry award is inherently about failure and some sort of mishap. However, many celebrities who possess talent have found themselves on this list. Therefore, the Golden Raspberry is more about the project's failure rather than the actor or actress.

Who has received the Raspberry? 

Essentially, the Golden Raspberry is an anti-award given for the worst achievements in the film industry, and it originated as a mockery of the prestigious 'Oscar' award. Despite the criticism it receives, over Time the Golden Raspberry has gained certain popularity and has become a peculiar part of cinematic culture. 

The award is presented to actors, directors, and screenwriters for works that did not meet the expectations of viewers and critics. It is not just a chance to showcase the most unsuccessful roles, but also a moment to draw attention to films that, for various reasons, failed to achieve success.

Interestingly, initially the Golden Raspberry was not taken seriously, and its presentation was more of a joke. However, over time, the award has gained popularity and garnered a certain amount of respect in the film industry. It is now considered somewhat of a cultural phenomenon, and winners who receive 'raspberries' often appear at awards ceremonies, adding an interesting flavor to the award.

Some were definitely unlucky 

Since the very beginning, the Golden Raspberry award has had a colorful history of awards, and often laureates found themselves in the spotlight even if it was not always deserved. Among the winners, one can find both famous actors and less renowned individuals:

1. Johnny Depp — 'The Tourist' (2011). One of the most notorious cases is Johnny Depp’s win for worst role in the film 'The Tourist'. This project was highly anticipated but failed to meet viewers' and critics' expectations. 

2. Hayden Christensen — 'Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith' (2005). Another notable case is Hayden Christensen’s win for worst actor for his role in the iconic 'Star Wars' saga. 

3. Jenna Fischer — 'How to Lose Friends & Alienate People' (2008). Her character was so stereotypical and unconvincing that viewers couldn’t love her heroine. Despite participating in successful projects like 'The Office', this film didn’t bring Fischer acclaim.

In general, such a list is extensive. 

Most Notable Nominations and Scandals

The Golden Raspberry has repeatedly become a subject of scandals and discussions. One of the loudest incidents was the nomination of famous actress Charlize Theron for worst female role in the film 'Monster'. This occurred in 2004 when Theron, despite her deep and impressive performance in this project, was still nominated for a Golden Raspberry. The issue was that she had received awards and recognition for her role in other projects, but the Golden Raspberry clearly disagreed with considering her a world-class actress. This case sparked much conversation within the film industry and possibly influenced how the award is perceived.

The Golden Raspberry in Recent Years

Each year the Golden Raspberry continues to attract viewers' attention. Some movies from the 2010s, such as 'Fifty Shades of Grey', have become favorite targets for anti-awards due to criticism for weak storylines and unsatisfactory acting performances.

Don't forget about the phenomenon of the 'Worst Ensemble Cast' nomination. In this category, star ensembles often turn out to be less effective than expected. Thus, the Golden Raspberry vividly demonstrates how even well-known actors or big projects can become objects of ridicule and public criticism.

If we talk about this year, the nominations look as follows: 

1. Worst Film: 'Borderlands', 'Joker: Madness for Two', 'Madame Web', 'Megalopolis', 'Reagan'. 

2. Worst Actor: Jack Black ('Dear Santa'), Zachary Levi ('Harold and the Magical Crayons'), Joaquin Phoenix ('Joker: Madness for Two'), Dennis Quaid (Reagan), Jerry Seinfeld ('Without Glaze'). 

3. Worst Actress: Cate Blanchett ('Borderlands'), Lady Gaga ('Joker: Madness for Two'), Bryce Dallas Howard ('Argyl: Super Spy'), Dakota Johnson ('Madame Web'), Jennifer Lopez ('Atlas'). 

4. Worst Supporting Actor: Jack Black (voice only) ('Borderlands'), Kevin Hart ('Borderlands'), Shia LaBeouf (in a female disguise) ('Megalopolis'), Tahar Rahim ('Madame Web'), John White ('Megalopolis', 'Reagan', 'Shady Land', 'Strangers').

In summary, despite its eccentricity and scandal, the Golden Raspberry continues to hold its niche in the world of cinema.
