| Hollywood stars spoiled their mood on the eve of the Oscars ceremony On the eve of the Oscars, other awards were handed out to filmmakers in the American town of Santa Monica. Last weekend the 25th Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony took place there. All Hollywood stars know this prize, but they frankly do not like to receive it, since the “berry” is awarded for dubious achievements in cinema. All winners received anti-prizes worth $4.89. That’s how much a gold-plated plastic berry mounted on a film container costs.
This time, the biggest raspberry harvest came from the film Gigli, directed by Martin Brest. The film received six awards. Critics and audiences were merciless to this film from the first day of its release. He was called weak, lethargic, boring, vulgar and long-winded. Opponents of the film even staged an event in Boston called “I Survived Gigli”: all viewers who stayed until the end of the screening were given gifts. So the “success” of “Giglia” in “Golden Raspberry” was obvious. In addition to the titles of “worst film”, “worst director” and “worst script”, according to the award organizers, the film also features the worst actors. The star couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who played the main roles, were awarded the titles of “worst actor” and “worst actress.” And the tandem itself, nicknamed “Bennifer” by local journalists, is recognized as “the worst acting duet.” By the way, if J. Lo was remembered only once at the award ceremony, then her friend Ben received it for almost all of his new works. In addition to the unsuccessful role of gangster Larry Gigli, the organizers of the competition reminded Affleck of his work in the films Daredevil and Reckoning.
The traditional "raspberry" was awarded to Sylvester Stallone - this time for the character he played in the film "Spy Kids - 3D". This berry became the tenth in the Hollywood Rimbaud’s portfolio, and the nomination was the thirtieth in a row, which made him the absolute “raspberry” record holder and the worst actor in the entire history of the American dream factory. Organizers say Mr. Stallone will be given a prize at the next ceremony for his generally dubious contributions to the film industry. The worst supporting actress was awarded to the star of the film "Striptease" Demi Moore, who this time distinguished herself with disgusting work in the film "Charlie's Angels 2. Full Throttle." The film was also the worst sequel of the year. The comedy “The Cat in the Hat” won in the new category “Worst Attempt to Make a Contemporary Film.”
"Golden Raspberry", despite its unpopularity among Hollywood figures, has existed for 25 years. Over the course of a quarter of a century, almost all stars have become its laureates: from Quentin Tarantino to Britney Spears. The anti-premium was coined by the author of the book “Everything I Know, I Learned from the Movies,” John Wilson, who calls himself “a long-time cynic and movie geek.” The competition consists of 11 categories, most of which parody the main Oscar categories. The original nominations are "Worst Motion Picture Couple" and "Worst Sequel or Sequel". Recently, another nomination appeared - “The stupidest film for teenagers.”
The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation includes 537 people from 12 countries and 38 American states, to which ballots are sent annually. The jury's decisions are announced at the "anti-celebratory" ceremony, which, unlike the pretentious Oscars, lasts only an hour and takes place in a modest atmosphere. Anna ShPAK |
