Batman V Superman dominated at the Golden Raspberry Awards aka the Anti-Oscars

Rory Cashin

Every year, the night before the Oscars take place, another awards ceremony takes place to celebrate the worst movies of the year: the Golden Raspberry Awards.

Better known as the Razzies, they’ve been running since 1981 and have usually been taken in good fun – Halle Berry and Ben Affleck have even arrived in person to collect their awards before.

This year there were two movies that were clear winners (losers?) once the dust had settled: Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party (no, we haven’t heard of it either) walked away with Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Actress and Worst Director awards.

Meanwhile, Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice also collected four gongs, for Worst Screenplay, Worst Sequel/Prequel/Remake/Rip-Off, Worst Screen Combo going to Affleck and Cavill, and Worst Supporting Actor going to Jesse Eisenberg.

There was only one award not won by either of those movies, and it was Worst Supporting Actress, which went to Kristen Wiig in Zoolander 2, which is the only one we really have an issue with. Do you remember how funny that fake skin-cream ad was? We’d watch a whole movie of her playing that character!
