The Winners of the 2022 Razzie Awards

Amidst all the hubbub of legitimate awards and celebrities slapping one another in front of a multinational audience, we completely missed the fact that the Razzies, the annual celebration of the worst movies in the world, were also handed out over the weekend.

This year, the awards were dominated by two films: Diana: The Musical and Space Jam: A New Legacy. (Not a great year for movies with colons in their titles at the Razzies.) The former was a recorded version of an already-closed Broadway musical that premiered in October on Netflix. (In our review of the movie we said it was “so bad it makes Cats look good.”) Diana took home the “prize” for Worst Picture, Worst Actress, Worst Supporting Actress, Worst Director and Worst Screenplay.

Space Jam: A New Legacy surely needs no explanation; it was like the original Space Jam only much worse, with LeBron James replacing Michael Jordan as the human lead opposite the Looney Tunes characters. James won Worst Actor and Worst Onscreen Couple with “any Warner cartoon character,” and the film itself won the Razzie for Worst Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel.

Here is the full list of this year’s Razzie winners. May we all see better movies in 2022.
