These are like anti-Oscars, as a counterpart to the scientific concept known as anti-matter. An Oscar is an award for excellence, so a Golden Raspberry is for the opposite. Question: If you take an Oscar award and bring it into contact with a Golden Raspberry award, what would happen? ( imitating Carl Sagan): Would it buh-low upppp? Would it spawn billions and billions of new movies?
Anyway, while reading these, I noticed some interesting things. Some of those interesting things included such items as: who won the award for worst actor, what movie won the award for worst picture in such and such a year and so forth.
For example, the Golden Raspberry for worst picture in 2016 was a picture by Dinesh d'Souza, which was a hit piece against Hillary. I was somewhat amused by that award, because it seems to reek of anger at Trump's victory. The lefties just can't get over it. It makes 'em crazy! They should send their therapist's bills to the Russians.
If the movie really was that bad, it wouldn't have made a difference in the election because nobody would have watched it. Or so I think. There are plenty of bad movies out there.
As for my own nomination, one of the worst pictures ever had to be one of the Batman movies, in which Schwarzenegger played the Ice Man. I could only watch a few minutes of that one before I had to turn it off, it was so bad. But I don't recall seeing it on the list. Now look at the Terminator. He is going to sue the oil companies for premeditated murder. Hmmm. Hasta la vista, baby!
As I wrote before, however, you cannot necessarily go by what the critics say.
As for d'Souza's work, well, he's probably on to something with respect to the Democrats. They do smell worse than Hemmingway's bit about the smell of death in one of his novels.
