'Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey' biggest Razzies 'winner' followed by 'Expend4bles'

It's time to acknowledge last year's worst films, so watch 44th Annual Razzie Awards Hosted by The Mean Gays.

The Mean Gays Take Over The 44th Razzies®

For this year’s version of Tinseltown’s Most Notorious Trophy Derby, the 44th Annual Razzies® Awards co-founders dared something new.

Under the production banner of Evan Mirzai and House of M, viral comedic personalities The Mean Gays (Aaron Goldenberg & Jake Jonez) act as hosts, writers and producers of this year's 44th Razzie digital ceremony entitled THE MEAN GAYS TAKE OVER THE 44th RAZZIES®.

While Exorcist: Believer and Expend4bles tied for most Razzie nominations with seven each, neither was the big "winner." That dishonor went to Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, which took five Golden Raspberries home for Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screen Combo, Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel, and Worst Screenplay. Expend4bles walked off the virtual platform with two Razzies, Worst Supporting Actor for Sylvester Stallone and Worst Supporting Actress for Megan Fox. Fox earned a second statuette for Worst Actress in Johnny & Clyde. I predicted as much in Colbert, Meyers, and 'The Daily Show' take closer looks at Supreme Court hearing immunity appeal.

Mocking Seth doing his job by promoting Shazam! Fury of the Gods reminded me that the film earned four Razzie nominations, although two of those are for Helen Mirren in Worst Actress and Lucy Liu in Worst Supporting Actress. Hey, those two are the only reasons I want to watch the film! At least I don't think either will win — Megan Fox could easily win both categories — but Gold Derby hasn't opened up odds for this year's Razzies — yet.

And Fox won both actress categories. No surprise there, no thanks to Gold Derby, which never did post odds for this year's Razzies.

While I mocked the Golden Raspberries for their bad math skills for missing that Exorcist: Believer and Expend4bles tied for most Razzie nominations, instead reporting that Expend4bles had the most nominations by itself, they did feature the worse film, as Exorcist: Believer took home no Razzies. I'll give them that much, even if it was by mistake.

Finally, Jon Voight "won" Worst Actor for Mercy — I enjoyed the snide aside that MAGA doesn't mean "Make Acting Great Again" — and Fran Drescher won Razzie Redeemer "for her brilliant shepherding of the actors' guild through a prolonged 2023 strike with a successful conclusion." Congratulations!

I'm already looking ahead to next year's nominees, as I wrote in 'SNL' mocks 'Biden is old' in 'Inside Politics' cold open.

I'm a little worried for Sweeney for reasons that I mentioned in 'SNL' tackles E. Jean Carroll judgment, DeSantis endorsement, Nikki Haley, and more — "here's to hoping Madame Web doesn't earn at least one Razzie Award nomination next year and Johnson doesn't earn one as well for her role." I'm afraid Madame Web will earn multiple Razzie nominations and might even win some of them. I just hope Sweeney escapes being nominated.

The only thing that might save Madame Web is that Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is coming out this year. I'm sure that will be worse, not bad enough to prevent nominations for Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney, but bad enough to win, although the original earned no acting nominations.

Enough of today's entertainment update. Stay tuned for a string of holidays, Pi Day, International Day of Mathematics, and Science Education Day tomorrow, the Ides of March on Friday, and St. Patrick's Day and Irish American Heritage Month on Sunday. Busy, busy, busy!
