Tash- While the Oscar buzz is still as fresh as one of the Febreze brothers from ‘The Other Guys’, I thought I’d change the tone, slightly, to play my yearly guessing game for my fave show, The Golden Raspberry Awards, which I like to call ‘Bitches be Humble Awards’.
I had high hopes for my favourite genre, horror. Hoping it was safe from feeling the wrath of the awards, but the controversial divisive art-horror ‘Mother!’ made the nomination list. A movie I really quite enjoyed, but I have to admit that it is NOT for everyone! I’m a sucker for allegories, analogies, symbolism, metaphors, blah, blah, and blah.
SIDE-NOTE: Don’t you think that since Dragonball Evolution (2009) and Fantastic Four (2016) were shittier than a Golgothan on a good day, it deserves to WIN a Razzie award EVERY YEAR?! Just to remind and protect humanity from the toxic waste that is in the form of a KAK film!!
Below, I’ve chosen who deserves to win and who will probably win.
Red- Deserves to win
Blue- Probably win
