'Fifty Shades of Grey,' Fantastic Four’ Tie for Worst Picture at Razzies
By Abid Rahman
Fifty Shades of Grey dominated the winners list at this year’s Razzies with five total nods, including worst actor, worst actress, worst screenplay, worst screen combo and the big winner of the night, worst picture. The 36th annual satirical awards show, honoring Fifty Shades as last year’s “Most Successful Bad Movie,” was held on Feb. 27, the night before the Oscars.
Adam Sandler led the nominations this year but pulled out no wins, competing against fellow worst actor nominees Kevin James, Johnny Depp, Channing Tatum and Jamie Dornan. Dornan won worst actor with Fifty Shades of Grey’s Dakota Johnson as worst actress, their film facing off against Fantastic Four, Jupiter Ascending, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 and Pixels for worst picture, which ended up in a tie between Fifty Shades and Fantastic Four.
Oscar nominee Eddie Redmayne won worst supporting actor “for his hilariously out-of-control performance” in Jupiter Ascending. Worst supporting actress went to Kaley Cuoco for her roles in both Alvin and the Chipmunks 4: Road Chip and The Wedding Ringer.
The Razzie Redeemer Award, which is given to a previous Razzie Award winner who has “gone on to do better work,” this year went to Sylvester Stallone, best supporting actor nominee at the Oscars this year for Creed.
