The Golden Raspberry Awards, higher generally known as the Razzie Awards, are placing plenty of consideration on Bruce Willis, 66, this 12 months. In truth, the awards group (which acknowledges the worst performances in movie over the previous 12 months, primarily the antithesis of the Oscars) gave Bruce his personal particular class for the 2022 ceremony. It’s referred to as “Worst Efficiency by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Film,” and it options eight of his less-than stellar movies that got here out throughout the previous 12 months. Poor Bruce!
Bruce’s motion pictures nominated within the class embrace Cosmic Sin, Out of Dying, Midnight within the Switchgrass, Survive the Recreation, Apex, Impasse, Fortress, and American Siege. All eight movies had been critically panned after they got here out. Solely Midnight within the Switchgrass, which additionally starred Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, got here out in theaters — the remaining had been all direct-to-video releases.
