At this year’s Razzie Awards, Diana the Musical, the much-mocked dramatization of Diana, Princess of Wales’ life story, swept the board.
The entire list of winners is available below.
At this year’s Golden Raspberries, the stage production, of which a filmed version was presented on Netflix, earned five honors, including worst picture, worst actress for Jeanna de Waal in the title role, worst director, worst supporting actress, and worst writer. It received nominations in nine separate classes.
Because theaters were closed due to coronavirus restrictions, Netflix broadcast a filmed version of the stage production before it opened on Broadway, without a live audience. When the production finally debuted on Broadway, it only lasted for 33 performances before being shut down.
At the Razzies, basketball player LeBron James won the award for worst actor for Space Jam: A New Legacy, as well as the award for worst screen duo, which he shared with “James and whichever Warner cartoon character (or WarnerMedia product) he dribbles on.” Space Jam: A New Legacy won the award for worst remake, rip-off, or sequel.
Jared Leto, who was expected to be nominated for an Oscar for his role in House of Gucci, instead won the Razzie Award for worst supporting actor this year.
The Razzies are known as the “ugly cousins of the Oscars,” according to its organizers. Cats swept the board at this year’s Oscars, taking home six awards, along with worst movie and worst supporting actor and actress for James Corden and Rebel Wilson, correspondingly.
