While the Academy Awards on Sunday will honor the best in films, Saturday’s 44th annual Golden Raspberry Awards recognized some of last season’s big screen failures, Billboard reported.

“Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey” won five awards, sweeping every category it was nominated in, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The slasher film won worst picture; worst screen couple; and worst remake, rip-off, or sequel. Rhys Frake-Waterfield won for worst director and worst screenplay.

According to a news release, “Expend4bles,” which led the way with seven nominations, won twice -- for best supporting actor (Sylvester Stallone) and worst supporting actress (Megan Fox).

Fox also won the worst actress award for “Johnny and Clyde” -- “a rare Razzie feat,” according to the release. Jon Voight was named worst actor for his role in “Mercy.”

Stallone extended his reign as the all-time Razzie champion by winning his 12th award, Entertainment Weekly reported.

The Razzies previously named Stallone the Worst Actor of the Decade in 1990 and Worst Actor of the Century in 2000.

The Razzie Redeemer Award, given to a past contender “who has since gone on to better things,” was given to SAG/AFTRA President Fran Drescher.

The Razzies complimented Drescher for “her brilliant shepherding of the actors’ guild through a prolonged 2023 strike.”

Nominees for the tongue-in-cheek awards were chosen across nine categories by Razzie voters, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The voters included 1,179 movie buffs, film critics journalists from 49 states and two dozen foreign nations, the entertainment news website reported.

Last year’s awards had more controversy than usual when 11-year-old Ryan Kiera Armstrong was nominated for worst actress for her performance in the remake of “Firestarter,” Variety reported. The group issued an apology, with Razzies founder John Wilson writing that “we have never intended to bury anyone’s career.”

In 2022, the Razzies rescinded its prize for Bruce Willis after the actor’s family revealed he was struggling with aphasia, CNN reported. That is a medical condition that affects the actor’s cognitive abilities.

Anyone can become a voting member of the Razzies by paying a $40 annual fee or doling out $500 for a lifetime membership, according to Variety.
