The Razzies Nominate ‘Dolittle,’ ‘365 Days,’ Sia’s ‘Music’ For the Worst Movies of the Year

2021 razzie award nominations

What were the worst movies of last year? Is that question even feasible for a year as bad — for the world, and for movies — as 2020? It turns out, yes, because 2020 had some real stinkers that the Razzie Awards must nobly name in their farcical awards ceremony highlighting the worst movies of the year. And most of the nominations come as no surprise: universally criticized movies like the Robert Downey Jr.-starring DolittleNetflix’s highly problematic softcore movie 365 Days, and Sia’s ableist Music all made the cut.

The 41st annual Razzie Awards continue to award the worst of Hollywood with some of 2020’s lowest-hanging fruit, including perennial Razzie contenders Adam Sandler and David Spade, as well as some of the worst-reviewed movies of the year. Leading the nominations is the Universal bomb Dolittle, which scored six Razzie nods, including worst film, worst remake, worst actor for Robert Downey Jr., worst director for Stephen Gaghan, worst screenplay and worst screen combo for Downey Jr. and his inexplicable accent. Also scoring six nominations was the Polish softcore sex drama 365 Days, which became a surprise hit on Netflix (presumably from all the horny quarantine watchers) and one of the most problematic movies of the year — prompting the Razzies to tweak their rules just to allow the erotic drama to be a contender.

Closely following Dolittle and 365 Days is Sony’s horror movie Fantasy Island with five nominations, and Sia’s directorial debut Music, widely criticized for its offensive depiction of autism, with four nominations for worst film, worst director, worst actor (Kate Hudson) and worst supporting actress (Maddie Ziegler).
