As the 98th Academy Awards draw near, scheduled to be broadcast on March 15, the preparations for this dazzling occasion are well underway. Host Conan O’Brien has rolled out the red carpet, the awards gleam with new polish, and influencers are priming their interview queries amidst a viral backlash against some nominees.
Also on the docket: The annual Golden Raspberry Awards, commonly referred to as The Razzies, which ignominiously honor the most appalling offerings from Hollywood over the past year.
Numerous Hollywood luminaries accept a Razzie win in good humor, including Academy Award victors Halle Berry and Sandra Bullock, who appeared at the Razzies to claim the disgrace for Catwoman and All About Steve, respectively.
Regrettably, this year’s virtual parody event missed any in-person Hollywood figures. You will also have to withstand some disconcerting animated graphics on the YouTube livestream — or simply scroll down for the complete list.
