Whether or not Netflix finally wins its first Best Picture Oscar this weekend, the streamer can take some sort of pride in knowing it dominated the 42nd Golden Raspberry Awards.
The Razzies have made their latest selections for the worst films and performances of the past year, and Netflix's filmed version of Diana: The Musical proved to be the big "winner," taking home five awards including Worst Picture, Worst Director, and Worst Screenplay, while Jeanna de Waal's turn as the Princess of Wales scored her a Worst Actress award.

It's not exactly surprising, as the musical take on Diana's life was savaged by critics upon its release last year. In her D review, EW's Maureen Lee Lenker wrote, "It's mind-boggling that this show is not a parody that exists purely in the world of a television show."
However, Diana failed to completely sweep the Razzies: Space Jam: A New Legacy followed close behind with three awards, including LeBron James' win for Worst Actor for his performance. The much-despised Space Jam follow-up also won awards for Worst Remake, Worst Rip-Off, or Sequel and Worst Screen Couple for James and "Any Warner Cartoon Character (or Time-Warner Product) He Dribbles on."
Other "winners" included Bruce Willis — in a special category for Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie, which he won for the sci-fi dud Cosmic Sin — and Jared Leto, who not only missed out on an Oscar nomination for House of Gucci but took home the Worst Supporting Actor Razzie for his performance as Italian designer and businessman Paolo Gucci. Boof.
