34 Razzie Awards Jokes: The 2020 “Music, Rudy & 365 Days of Cringe” Edition

In 2020, the 41st Razzie Awards had to deal with a year where the world stopped, but bad movies didn’t. It was the year Sia made a directorial debut that offended almost everyone, Rudy Giuliani became an accidental “actor” in a hotel room, and Poland gave the world a “sexy” thriller that made Fifty Shades of Grey look like a Disney movie.

The 2020 Razzie Red Carpet Top 10: “Borat, Bad Accents & Bravery Awards”

1. Rudy’s Special Appearance: Why did Rudy Giuliani win Worst Supporting Actor? For his “performance” in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, where he proved that a shirt-tuck in a hotel room is the ultimate way to win a Razzie without even knowing you’re in a movie.
2. The Music Controversy: Why did Sia’s Music win 3 Razzies? Because making a musical about autism without casting an autistic person—and then filling it with neon lights and frantic dancing—is a masterclass in “what were they thinking?”
3. 365 Days of “No”: Why was 365 Days a target? Because it’s the only movie that tries to turn “kidnapping as a first date” into a romantic gesture, proving that some things should definitely stay on a Kindle.

6. The Fantasy Island Nightmare: Why was it hit? For taking a charming 70s show and turning it into a horror movie where the scariest part was the dialogue.
7. Glenn Close’s Dilemma: Why was she nominated for both an Oscar and a Razzie for Hillbilly Elegy? Because she proved that even a legendary actress can’t survive a wig and a script that treats poverty like a theme park.
8. The Wonder Woman 1984 Wind: Why was it a target? For a plot involving a “dreamstone” that made the first movie’s logic look like a university thesis in comparison.
9. Himalaya’s Cats Carry-over: Why was Cats still being mocked? Because the Razzies decided that the “Digital Fur Technology” was a trauma that the world would need at least a decade to process.
10. The Razzie Redeemer – Jean Smart: Why did she win? For going from a Razzie nominee in the past to becoming the queen of television in Hacks and Watchmen—the ultimate “I win” move.
