And the Razzies go to… Fifty Shades of Grey & Fantastic Four

razzieawards2015

We may all be gearing up to stay up late and watch The Oscars later on this evening, but last night saw another important awards ceremony take place. The 36th Golden Raspberry Awards took place as they do every year on the eve of the Academy Awards. This year’s big winner was Fifty Shades of Grey.

It shouldn’t be too surprising given that the book from which the film was spawned was also utterly awful. The film which starred Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan took home five of the big awards of the night, although it had to share the Worst Picture prize with the equally mediocre Fantastic Four.

A year on from his Oscar win for The Theory of EverythingEddie Redmayne found himself the recipient of Worst Supporting Actor for his whispering and shouting performance in Jupiter Ascending, a film which dodged quite a few bullets thanks to Fifty Shades of Grey. Similarly Razzie veterans Adam Sandler and Kevin James for once came home empty handed as both Pixels and Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 failed to win any categories. See the full winners list below:
