The Razzies acknowledged the elephant in the room at the 2023 awards – the organization gave itself a dishonor after nominating a 12-year-old for worst actress, sparking internet controversy.
Ahead of Sunday’s Academy Awards celebrating the year’s greatest achievements in film, the 43rd annual Razzies celebrated the “worst” actors and movies.
This year’s Razzie nominations were mired in controversy about the award body nominating 12-year-old actor Ryan Kiera Armstrong from “Firestarter” in January. After the internet erupted, the Razzies apologized, removed Armstrong from the ballot and introduced an age limit of 18 for future nominations. The Razzies put itself on the ballot, replacing Armstrong, and won in a landslide. In the awards video, “Razz Berry” said “Until our next mistake, cheers!,” accepting the dishonor.

“Disney’s Pinocchio,” not to be confused with “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” received the worst remake, and Oscar-nominated actor Colin Farrell won the Razzie Redeemer Award for his work in “The Banshees of Inisherin” after he was nominated for worst actor in 2005 for “Alexander.”
The Razzies continued the virtual format post-COVID, announcing the winners in a video just under five minutes long. Industry leaders John J. B. Wilson and Mo Murphy founded the Golden Raspberry Foundation to recognize the year’s “worst films,” with the first in-person ceremony taking place in 1981.
