‘Warped’ erotic film triumphs at Razzies
Print Edition
EROTIC drama “Fifty Shades of Grey” triumphed on Saturday at Hollywood’s hall of shame, the annual Razzies anti-awards show.
The steamy romance — described as a “warped, disturbingly abusive adult fairy tale” by movie website The Film Stage — took the Golden Raspberry Award for joint worst picture alongside superhero flick “Fantastic Four.”
The adaptation of EL James’ sexually explicit novel also took home worst screenplay, worst actor for Jamie Dornan, worst actress for Dakota Johnson, and worst screen combo for the pair.
“Fantastic Four” also bagged worst director for Josh Trank and worst remake, rip-off or sequel.
The superhero flop was rated at 9 percent on the Rotten Tomatoes movie-ranking website, where it is described as “dull and downbeat,” and a “woefully misguided,” humorless adaption of the comic.
In the 36th annual Razzies, hosted at the Palace Theater in downtown Los Angeles, the worst supporting actress was won by Kaley Cuoco for “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip.”
Eddie Redmayne — an Oscar nominee for best actor for the “Danish Girl” — was named worst supporting actor for his bizarre turn in “Jupiter Ascending” as Emperor Balem Abrasax.
The Razzies were created in 1980 as an antidote to Hollywood’s star-studded, back-slapping annual awards season.
“The US$4.97 gold spray-painted Razzie Award is handed out to otherwise great talent who should know better than to associate their name with sub-par projects,” the awards show says on its Twitter bio.
