It was Batman v Superman versus Hillary’s America at the 2017 Golden Raspberry Awards, a.k.a. The Razzies. The winners, highlighting the “cinematic sludge” of the past year, were the day before the Oscars wherein both films were “awarded” four titles.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, directed by Man of Steel‘s Zack Snyder, earned Worst Supporting Actor for Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor, Worst Screen Combo for Ben Affleck’s Batman and Henry Cavill’s Superman, Worst Screenplay for Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer, and Worst Remake, Rip-off, or Sequel.
The DC superhero face-off took in a worldwide total of $873.3 million, after facing an onslaught of negative reviews.
Political documentary Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, pegged as revealing “the sordid truth about Hillary and the secret history of the Democratic Party,” earned the not-so-coveted prize of Worst Picture. Dinesh D’Souza, the conservative political commenter behind the film, won both Worst Actor and Worst Director, while “the ‘actress’ who plays Hillary Clinton” won Worst Actress.
The annual Razzie Redeemer Award went to veteran actor-director Mel Gibson. Gibson has been welcomed back into the folds of Hollywood with his war drama “Hacksaw Ridge” a decade after a drunken anti-Semitic rant made him an outcast.
“Hacksaw Ridge” is nominated for six Oscars on Sunday, including Gibson for director.
