Directed by Andrew Dominic, “Blonde” premiered on Netflix on September 8 and premiered at the Venice Film Festival. Initially, critics praised the work of actress Ana de Armas, who played the main role in the Marilyn Monroe biopic. However, the director’s work raised many questions.
The riveting story of the tragic life of a Hollywood diva has been criticized for exploiting Marilyn’s sexuality as well as for its length: the film runs for three hours. Some viewers stopped watching completely at the 20 minute mark after the scene where the Hollywood blonde was raped by the producer.
No wonder “Blonde” was named the worst film at the box office. In addition, the picture was listed in the “Worst Screenplay” category. At the same time, Ana was nominated for an Oscar as the best actress.
In the nomination for worst actor, Jared Leto won the dubious honor of being the winner for “Morbius”. In a similar female category, the organizers of the award named the winners due to the fact that the 12-year-old actress Ryan Kira Armstrong was previously on the list of nominees. After the scandal, the organizers apologized and promised not to nominate underage actors.
Adria Arjona was named Worst Supporting Actress for her performance in Morbius, while Tom Hanks was named Worst Actor for his role in Elvis.
“Golden raspberry” is considered a complement to “Oscar”. According to tradition, the nominees are announced the day before the Oscar nominees are announced, the winners – the day before the Oscar winners.
