The inclusion of "Joker: Folie à Deux" in the Razzie awards has surprised many, given that the first installment was widely acclaimed by both critics and the public. The awards ceremony is scheduled for March 1, 2025, and promises acidic humor to recognize what is considered the cinematic failures of the year.
On this occasion, 1,200 voters participated to select the films that, according to critics, did not meet the expectations of either the public or the film industry. Among the nominees for worst director are recognized names like S.J. Clarkson, Francis Ford Coppola, and Todd Phillips, which has drawn attention given their reputation in Hollywood.
In the category for worst on-screen combination, nominations such as "any pair of annoying characters" in "Borderlands" and "the entire cast" of "Megalopolis" stand out. Additionally, the presence of Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga in "Joker: Folie à Deux" has sparked debate due to the high profile of the film.
The award for worst screenplay includes titles like "Joker: Folie à Deux", "Kraven the Hunter", "Madame Web", "Megalopolis", and "Reagan". Each year, the Razzie awards highlight the worst of cinema with a satirical and scathing approach, including names like Clarkson for "Madame Web", Coppola for "Megalopolis", Phillips for "Joker: Folie à Deux", Roth for "Borderlands", and Seinfeld for "Unfrosted".
The list of nominees for the 2025 edition has generated some controversy by including productions and renowned figures in the film industry.
