Razzie awards: ‘Emoji Movie’ named worst picture of 2017, Tom Cruise panned for ‘The Mummy’
‘The Emoji Movie’, the first animated movie to win the award in the Razzie’s 38-year history, also won in the categories of worst screenplay, worst screen combo and worst director
One day before Hollywood honours the year’s best films at the Oscars, the Razzies honour the year’s worst – and the winner is The Emoji Movie.
The animated film beat other dud 2017 films such as Baywatch, Fifty Shades Darker, The Mummy and Transformers: The Last Knight to win an infamous Golden Rasberry award.
The year saw “Hollywood’s recycled trash heap attain an all-time high,” with a “toxic-level lack of originality,” the organisers said in a statement.
The Emoji Movie, the first animated movie to win the award in the Razzie’s 38-year history, also “won” in the categories of worst screenplay, worst screen combo and worst director.
Tom Cruise won in the Worst Actor category for his star role in another reboot of The Mummy, while a cross-dressing Tyler Perry won in the Worst Actress category for BOO 2!: A Madea Halloween – the ninth “Madea” film.
