Sylvester Stallone’s action-packed “Expend4bles” tops the list with seven nominations for the 2024 Razzies, celebrating the worst in cinema. The film is nominated in categories like worst picture, worst actor, and worst supporting actress, with Megan Fox receiving nods for her roles in both “Expend4bles” and “Johnny & Clyde.”
Former Oscar winners Jon Voight, Russell Crowe, and Dame Helen Mirren find themselves among the nominees for worst actor and actress. The Razzies, or Golden Raspberry Awards, distinguish the least successful films of the year, with winners announced a day before the Academy Awards ceremony.

Razzies and Their Unique Approach to Dishonoring Films
Founded in 1981, the Razzie Awards aim to dishonor the least successful films of the year. Anyone can become a voting member of the Razzies by paying an annual fee, and nominations are determined by a select committee before ballots are issued to the membership. This year’s nominations include films like “Expend4bles,” “The Exorcist: Believer,” and “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.”
The Golden Raspberry Awards, affectionately known as the Razzies, is an annual awards ceremony that recognizes the worst in cinema. Established in 1981, the Razzies celebrate the least successful films, actors, and filmmakers, often with a humorous and satirical approach. Winners are announced the day before the Academy Awards ceremony, and the Razzies have become a quirky tradition in the film industry, acknowledging the less stellar achievements in contrast to the prestigious Oscars.
