Megan Fox and Jon Voight win ‘Razzie’ awards

Oscar winner Jon Voight (85) and actress Megan Fox (37) are now recipients of Hollywood’s ridiculous prizes. The winners of the ‘Golden Raspberries’ or ‘Razzies’ announced the ‘winners’ of the not entirely serious prizes in a video message on Saturday (local time). Traditionally, the embarrassing awards of the ‘Razzies’ are announced the day before the Oscars.

Voight, father of Hollywood star Angelina Jolie, received the ‘worst actor’ award for his performance in the action film ‘Mercy’. There were two “Razzies” for Fox – for her starring role in “Johnny & Clyde” and for her supporting role in “The Expendables 4.” Supporting actor Sylvester Stallone also won a Golden Raspberry for “The Expendables 4”.

But the big winner is ‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey’ with five embarrassing awards, including in the top category as worst film, for direction and screenplay. The copyright on the Disney cartoon character Winnie the Pooh has recently expired. The horror film ‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey’ was then released in 2023. The famous teddy bear Winnie the Pooh is usually used for funny cartoon adventures.

The ‘Razzies’ (short for Raspberry) were founded in 1980 by filmmaker John Wilson as a counterpart to the glamorous Oscars. According to the group, more than 1,100 members vote in the United States and other countries. The ‘winners’ are traditionally announced the day before the Oscar gala. (sda/dpa)
