‘Joker 2’ Leads Razzies Worst-Of Movies List With 7 Nominations
The annual Golden Raspberry Awards (Razzies), a contest highlighting the worst movies of the year, on Wednesday announced its nominations for every film released in 2024.
Last year’s biggest flop was “Joker: Folie à Deux,” which led the pack with seven nominations total. Films including “Madame Web,” “Megalopolis,” “Borderlands” and “Reagan” each received six nominations.
“Joker: Folie à Deux” is a musical sequel to the Oscar-nominated “Joker,” which majorly underperformed at the box office, bringing in just $206 million worldwide against a $200 million budget. The film starred Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, who are both up for Razzies for worst actress and worst actor and for worst screen combo.
The original “Joker” earned more than $1 billion in 2019, making the failure of the highly anticipated sequel even worse.
The Razzies voting panel also targeted the pro-conservative film “Reagan” despite the movie being praised by viewers. They nominated actor Jon Voight, who was just named a special ambassador to Hollywood by President Trump, for one of the awards.

Razzies winners will be announced on Saturday, March 1, the day before the Academy Awards.
