The Oscars celebrate the best of the best, even if they did mess up the winner for Best Picture but what about the so-bad-it’s-actually-really-really-bad movies? Where’s their award? For that, you have the anti-Oscars, the Razzies: celebrating the absolute worst the movie industry has to offer. This year, Batman v Superman came out on ‘top’ with four awards, with Ben Affleck yet again having his name etched onto a Razzie after his performance in Daredevil in 2004.
Batman v Superman didn’t win the Worst Picture award (the big one went to mockumentary Hillary’s America), but it took home the awards for Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel and Worst Screenplay. Congrats.
Ben Affleck may have every reason to feel like Sad-fleck as he picked up Worst Screen Combo alongside super buddy Henry Cavill, with Jesse Eisenberg’s portrayal of Lex Luthor beating out Suicide Squad’s Jared Leto for the honour of Worst Supporting Actor.
