The 39th Golden Raspberry Awards was an awards ceremony that identified the worst the film industry had to offer in 2018, according to votes from members of the Golden Raspberry Foundation. Razzies co-founder John J. B. Wilson has stated that the intent of the awards is "to be funny."[1] The nominees were announced on January 21, 2019[2] and the winners were announced on February 23, 2019.[3][4]

Regardless of its main winners and nominations, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse became the first animated film to be nominated for the Razzie Redeemer Award.

Criticism

[edit | edit source]

On January 31, 2019, the ceremony was accused of rigging the vote tallies for its nominees. For example, Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades Freed) and Kevin Spacey (Billionaire Boys Club) received enough votes for Worst Actor, but neither were included on the final nominee list.[6]

The ballot itself was also heavily criticized for overlooking critically panned films[7] and the nomination and win of non-acting performances for documentary stock footage.[8]

Despite mix-to-poor reviews, the awards was criticized for nominating The Meg in the Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel as a rip-off of Steven Spielberg's 1975 film Jaws despite having nothing to do with the film besides having a shark as an antagonist.[9]
