After the Razzies rescinded Ryan Kiera Armstrong’s nomination, they gave the Worst Actress award to themselves for nominating a kid
They definitely aren’t sorry lol. At best they’re sorry they got called out for it. They could’ve stopped years ago after hearing reports of how Jake Lloyd’s nomination led to his downfall, but they only take action in this current world of cancel-culture, and they didn’t even redact any past child nominations/wins. Don’t give the razzies too much credit.
Megan Fox in Jennifer’s Body is fantastic. She told people up front it was a movie that would prove whether she could act or not. She can, and she has tons of fun in the role.
Has two pretty damn funny lines: the deleted scene with Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick from SpongeBob) screaming about cutting off someone's nuts and using it as a doorknocker and this one that was in the actual film:
Needy: They took her in their spooky van with the windows all blacked out.
Chip: Did you get the model?
Needy: I don't know, Chip! An '89 Rapist?
It's unfortunate. The marketing really hurt it.
It’s kind of shame that horror is considered so low brow, because there are some truly fantastic performances in horror movies that don’t get looked at because, hey, it’s horror.
Shelley was badly snubbed for the 1977 Best Actress Oscar for "Three Women". She won the Cannes, got a BAFTA nomination, and also won the LA Film Critics award. It's one of the most memorable performances I've ever seen, it crosses my mind at least monthly. "Nobody wants to hang around you. You don't drink, you don't smoke. You don't do anything you're supposed to do!"
I return to 3 Women every once and awhile, too. Both Duvall and Spacek are stunning. It's such a strange film that sometimes I feel like I dreamed it.
Megan Fox used to get a lot of hate in general which was totally unwarranted, but her performance in Jennifer's Body definitely didn't deserve that. The way she switched from Jennifer pre-transformation, to post-transformation, and again to the weaker hungry version, was so skillful. She managed to be charismatic, vulnerable, hateable, but also sympathetic as a character
In the case of Shelley Duvall in The Shining, keep in mind that The Shining was critically panned when it first came out. A lot of people including Stephen King himself hated the movie which is why Duvall got a Razzie nomination. So was she unfairly nominated? Absolutely but we must know that The Shining we know today is absolutely different than The Shining that people knew when it first came out so the nomination was quite understandable given the circumstances when the movie was first released back in 1980. Some classic films were hated when it first came out 🤷
The Thing is another example of this.
For me personally Jennifer Lawrence’s razzie nomination for Mother! Is the most undeserving
i think he mentioned this one in his overall worst nominations video!
George C. Scott deserved an Oscar nomination for his performance in Exorcist III... and Brad Dourif deserved an nomination for supporting role.
From my perspective, George C Scott never gave a bad performance. He may not always have been in good movies
but he always gave it his 100 percent.
Megan Fox was getting so much hates back then, and Jennifer’s Body didn’t do very well in both financial and critical.
It’s good that Jennifer’s Body getting more love ever since and became a cult classic as it deserves, definitely one of two good performance that Fox done along with This is 40.
But remember, Fox is a limited actress, this is the main reason why the Razzie and people back then really hate on her.
Shelley Duvall’s performance is one of my favorite performances in a horror film of all time
Deffo shelly duvall. Her performance in the Shining was amazing and shouldve got Oscar nom.
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
TOTALLY AGREE!!! Most of those actors actually practically carried the entire movie and were absolutely perfect for their particular roles!! The Razzies really like to go for the easy low-hanging fruit of big names too 'cause it calls attention to themselves, gets lots of media attention!! To blame the actors for a really bad script and/or director really gets my goat!! To nominate a child is SO LOW!!! And to nominate a first-time actor in one of the most successful movies of the year is utterly ridiculous ... HOW could the movie have been so successful if Heather Donahue had not pulled off that role absolutely brilliantly?!!
How dare they nominate Tangina? She's a national treasure.
Never knew about Dressed to Kill and Michael Caine/Nancy Allen. Agree that is just crazy. Allen was nominated that same year at the Golden Globes for Best Newcomer for this performance.
Great video. I do also agree that Blow Out is technically a better film than Dressed To Kill, but I could rewatch Dressed To Kill much more, I just love everything about it (obvs Blow Out is such a downer) . Betsy Palmer is the best thing about the first Friday for sure. I always loved The Shining the book more than the film, but I've warmed to Shelley Duval's performance, and you're right, her turn in Altman's 3 Women is INCREDIBLE. Both her and Sissy Spacek do some great creepy work in that. I'm probably one of the few to have seen Craven's Deadly Blessing. It wasn't nearly as assaulting as his first two features, but it still creeped me out in a subtle way. And as a horror fan, yes I love Exorcist III, even when George C. Scott is overacting lol. The atmosphere and imagery are just WONDERFULL.
I think Shelley Duvall absolutely deserves an Oscar for Wendy Torrance in The Shining. She and Jack Nicholson's Jack are perfect foils for one another; as he succumbs to insanity and cruelty, she is left traumatised and challenged, but still holding firm onto sanity and compassion.
I've seen hundreds of horror movies in my life and Jennifer's Body is one of my favorites.
I agree with you on all the actors. Especially for Zelda Rubinstein. Also, I like Nancy Allen and Dressed to Kill was a great movie! Very scary!
That scene in Exorcist 3 is the biggest jump scare I’ve ever had in a theater. Y’all know the one I mean. If not, watch the movie.
I loved Betsy Palmer as Mrs. Voorhees. It's probably one of my favorite performances in a horror movie.
Man, that scene in Jennifer’s Body where Megan Fox is begging for her life hooked me and I was all on board with her in that movie. So good!
I will also add that Aileen Quinn who played Annie was also nominated for a Razzie way back in 1980
I think the only reason Megan Fox got nominated for Jennifer's Body was because of her connection with the much-maligned Michael Bay Transformers movies. She was pointed to as one of the weak parts of that franchise, when it was more the bad script and direction she was given in the two movies she did. So in sort of following with that, and her reputation as this ditzy, body-focused vixen stereotype she played in those movies, I guess the Razzies leaned in with that in nominating her for Jennifer's Body.
Betsy Palmer was awesome as Mrs. Vorhees, how she got a razzie nomination is a mystery to me!
Megan Fox should be Oscar winner for Sophie Maes in "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People".
5:42 There are 10 Friday the 13th films (not counting 'Freddy vs. Jason'). The last film in the series was 'Jason X'.
I guess the first eight can be considered the original series of films since they were all with Paramount and with the ninth film it switched to New Line Cinemas.
I feel like The Exorcist III suffered because II: The Heretic was so awful that it made the Exorcist brand a joke, so a lot of people never even saw III and assumed the worst. The movie seems to be gaining some belated acclaim in recent re-appraisals.
Although, amusingly, I learned that the movie wasn't originally going to be using the Exorcist name, but the studio forced the writer/director to use it for the *strength* of the brand. They also made him shoehorn in a big crazy exorcism scene for the climax, although this was a decision that many actually find out to be beneficial.
I don't care for Jennifer's Body, but I agree that all three leads were good in it.
I am surprised the Razzies chose that child actor from The FIrestarter when they didn't nominate Jake Lloyd from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, easily the worst performance by a child in a major movie I have ever seen. Yes, they should avoid nominating children, and they made a serious mistake with Heather Donohue who was really quite good in Blair WItch Project. I kept expecting to see her in more films after that, but was surprised her career didn't blossom into something more substantial.
Eh, the razzie DID nominate Jake Lloyd for Phantom Menace. But as a supporting instead of a lead actor.
They did nominate Lloyd and he was relentlessly bullied for that performance for his entire childhood, to the point of it grievously affecting his mental health into adulthood. He was a kid, let's not give kids shit for bad performances, especially when a lot of that comes down to other factors like the direction
@@psycane8462 And to be fair to Jake Lloyd, I don't think anyone could have pulled that role off with the dialogue he had to say, not to mention the stilted direction during the dialogue scenes. Even Liam Neeson was flat in that movie. Jake's performance was just fine, imo.
@@melanie62954 Agreed - Definitely wasn't his fault. He did his best with what he had and he genuinely just seemed like he was having fun and that's all I could ever ask for a little kid in that mess of a movie
They did poo head
Half of the time Razzies just make odd statements. ‘You’re nominated because we don’t like that you are successful.’ ‘You’re nominated for a non-acting role in a documentary because we disagree with your politics.’ ‘You’re nominated because we think you’re annoying.’ It is a rather ridiculous award because it’s so poorly managed. The Razzies actually have potential but the amateurism around it and the cruel irony sucks.
Interesting that The Shining, Friday the 13th & Dressed to Kill all came out in 1980 - I wonder what was going on then in the US.
Quentin Tarantino in From Dusk Till Dawn, I know Tarantino appears in his own movies and I know Dusk wasn't one of his movies but he wrote it and he is Richie Gecko in that movie and he did a terrific job playing an unhinged character. And yes I agree with Shelly Duval, she went through hell on the set of The Shining. Not in terms of performances but... Nightmare on Elm Street 5: Dream Child got nominated for and won some razzies, at least in terms of Worst Original Song for 'Bring Your Daughter to The Slaughter' by Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden's version is still the most memorable version of the song) and 'Let's Go' by Kool Mo Dee was nominated...yeah Dream Child is NOT one of the best Elm Street movies and the kills are more comedic than scary as it was that during the time in which Freddymania was essentially in full swing after the release of Dream Child, and Elm Street soundtracks from part 3 onward had a hip hip song and a rock song on the soundtrack, and while the song is no 'Dream Warriors' (because you cannot top Dokken), it's still a good song.
"Dressed to Kill" is a complete guilty pleasure. It's a film that has become a camp classic now - thanks to its cross-dressing villain and all those over-the-top closeups. I remember watching it with my mother as a child and being absolutely terrified by it. The film has some clever references to Alfred Hitchcock’s "Psycho" (1960), which suggests a tongue half-sheathed in its cheek. It's clear as daylight now as an adult that "Dressed to Kill" is DePalma's homage to "Psycho" - with both leading ladies bowing out early (one in a shower, one in an elevator) to its villains dressing in woman's clothing with split personalities. Sadly its the kind of film that would never get made today because it would trigger the snowflake generation. It's also a film I repeatedly return too.
I like Brian de Palma's Hitchcock Imitatios and "Dressed to kill" is definitely a guilty pleasure. It's the campiest of them. But Nancy Allen is a really bad actress. Oh my god .... her performance in "RoboCop" is even more wooden than in "Dressed".
@@igoe885 I agree with you. I was never an Nancy Allen fan. Also her career had stalled by the end of the decade, what career she did have. It would laughable to think of her as "Academy Award winner Nancy Allen"
I still love the movie, and also still think Pino Donaggio's score is one of the best ever. If DTK was going to get an Oscar nomination, it should have been for him!
I would be very surprised (shocked, to be very honest) if the special features on the Imprint edition of ‘The Warriors’ will be on the Arrow edition.
The Firestarter remake was terrible but that kid was unfairly nominated for a Razzie. She’s a kid and that was mean for the Razzies to do.
Um, no. It's not unfair, nor mean. An actor is an actor and if they suck, they suck. Why everyone is so sensitive these days is beyond my ability to comprehend. It's stupid. That kid was horrible in that movie.
Paris hilton in house of wax. Not a bad film or bad performance
Her line reading of "Yeah let's follow the smell" is the best thing in that movie to me.
I haven’t seen the film but I heard,at the time of the film’s release, that she was rather good.
She was waaay better than expected.
I loved 2 things about Linda Blair in Hell Night. 2 rather large things.
Regarding the Dressed to Kill nomination, the Razzies have this habit of going after certain celebs or stars for some reason or another (Usually to cash in on the zeitgeist at the time). Brian De Palma was one of those targets, seeing as the Razzies had a bone to pick with his work. While I can understand it for stuff like Bonfire of the Vanities and Mission to Mars, I certainly don't agree with them nominating Scarface, Body Double & Dressed to Kill (For the record, I'm not the biggest fan of that film) for "Worst Director".
Shelley Duvall deserved a military decoration and a large out of court settlement for her performance in the Shining
Great performance while being tortured by the director
My local theater let me see Firestarter for free because of how bad it was. I was literally the only one in the theater.
u should video on heather langenkamp nancy from noes
Heather Donahue actually shocks me. Her character isn’t supposed to be likable. Half of the women on this list seem like they were nominated bc there characters weren’t likable but they turned out great performances.
I know this channel is mostly focused on acting performances, but I'm puzzled that they nominated both Ramones songs for the Pet Sematary movies.
I love Dressed To Kill, and it could not be made today. Jennifer's Body was just a misunderstood movie at the time, George C. Scott is always excellent, even if the movie isn't so good, although I really like Exorcist 3. I think they sometimes nominate famous actors just to get the publicity. Everyone should watch Blow Out which is a great movie.
so right, Hollywood needs to leave the kids alone...
The founder of the Razzies said he thought de Palma was a hack, hence him having five nominations for Worst Director. Plus anyway the Razzies are publicity hounds and he was one of the most controversial filmmakers during the '70s and '80s, so it was only natural in hindsight.
I don't think Heather Donahue's Razzie win for The Blair Witch Project really had THAT much of an impact on her career as a whole, so much as the fact she was forever known for that movie in the first place and was typecast the way, say, Bill Shatner was as James T. Kirk (at least for a while, I guess he became better known for playing up that image in the long run). From there you could argue the Razzies were just following the logic they thought was mainstream, which ends up looking real bad after all the hype backlash wears off. Like I said, they're publicity hounds.
It’s one thing to nominate an established actress like Shelley Duvall who had been put through Hell only to get a Razzie nomination, but to nominate a goddamn child? Even as a joke, that’s just disgusting.
Poor Shelly, after all the shit she went through on set, she didn't deserve a razzie!
Tangina is a mood.
Does anyone else consider the Razzies to be a form of bullying?
Bro how did you forget Jennifer Lawrence in Mother?
Horror is hard to do. Fay Wray.
RIP Piper Laurie
I can't defend Linda Blair in Hell Nights, she is awful in it.
But Betsy Palmer and George V Scott! F them!
These nominations just show how petty and vindictive the razzies are
I never saw exorcist 3 but the clips you have shown of Scott do not help your case. It was pretty bad.
I love Nancy Allen and I really enjoy Dressed to Kill…but she is awful in Dressed to Kill. I have to respectfully disagree with you here…but I think you and your channel is wonderful.
I wonder how The Exorcist III would be like if Kinderman's original actor Lee J. Cobb hadn't died in 1976 and he took the role once more sadly it's something we'll never get to know but I think that what really damaged The Exorcist 3 was the fact that Blatty's original idea was scrapped by Warner because the scrip would've been faithful to the novel Legion written by Mr. Blatty himself but I know there was the Blatty version of The Exorcist 3 as he originally intended to do the movie at first but if I'm not wrong that version is lost or something like that
Haters are gonna hate
Ryan Kiera Armstrong is DREADFUL in American Horror Story. One of the worst performances I have ever seen. But still, to nominate a child for a Razzie is mean
The Razzies seem to enjoy bullying, very mean-spirited, very snooty. Popular and entertaining movies and performances are so often called bad by the Razzies; I don't agree with that, but fine. I get it. But I'm seeing in your list a lot of women and young people, indeed, a few older actors too, and it isn't a good look. I don't feel like applauding them for rescinding an award then giving one to themselves for nominating a child. How about not being jerks in the first place?
I think I'm the only person who thinks that Shelley Duvall should had been nominated for The Shinning
I think you are right, and it's Shining 😂
I disagree, every one of those Razzies was deserved. Especially The Blair Witch Project.
Nominating children is just plain mean spirited and like you said just icky.
They should rescind every child nomination they've made cause it's all just so gross, especially when their performances often come down to other factors, especially poor direction. Should've learned from how the relentless bullying Jake Lloyd got for Phantom Menace affected him later in life, but I guess people will never learn to not be so relentlessly cruel even to children because they're paraded as spectacle in a film that makes audiences think they have the right to treat them like shit
Idk, I think nominating a child isn't bad as long as it's not their first performance. Razzies can kill, or at least stall, an actor's career and that's unfair to a child especially on their first performance, but so long as they've got others in the bag where they've been good, I think it's fair.
That kid deserved her nomination. People need to stop being so sensitive.
The Original Friday the 13th is very much the worst of the franchise imo, or at the very least the most boring
I don't care for Jennifer's Body, but I agree that all three leads were good in it.
