The annual tongue-in-cheek Razzies, or Golden Raspberry Awards, “honor” the worst in film, and are handed out the day before the Oscars, serving to mock the following night’s self-congratulatory Tinseltown back-slapping. “Basketball phenom LeBron James was the MVP in both Worst Actor and Worst Screen Couple while the film itself was chosen Worst Remake/Rip-Off or Sequel,“ they said in a press release.
It took five prizes, including worst picture and worst actress for star Jeanna de Waal. The Broadway show itself lasted just 33 performances.
