Razzies 2025: Megalopolis, Madame Web, Borderlands, Joker 2 Amongst The Year’s Worst Films

Adam Driver looks into the future

As the Oscars nominations beckon this weekend, it’s about that time for the anti-Oscars, namely The Razzies, to share their nominations also and they have named the worst films of the year to be in the mix for their awards.

There were some stinkers in 2024 but the list for the Razzies has been narrowed down to a few “lucky” films. Tied for the most nominations are Megalopolis, and Reagan, whilst films like Unfrosted, The Crow, Atlas, and Kraven The Hunter are also in the mix in both the acting and filmmaking categories.

That said, Jack Black’s acting nom for the festive comedy Get Santa is VERY harsh if you ask us.

Nominees were chosen via emailed ballots to 1,202 Razzie (movie buffs, film critics, and journalists) from 49 States and about two dozen foreign countries who chose five top contenders in each of nine categories.

Here is the full list of nominees, with the Razzies “winners” announced on March 1st, the eve of the Academy Awards Ceremony (as it stands):

Worst Picture 

Borderlands: A big-budget video-game-based bomb that racked up 90% negative reviews at Rotten Tomatoes (and suffered an estimated $100+ million loss)

A highly anticipated comic book-based sequel that had its protagonists express their mental illness and villainy — by singing and dancing!
Madame Web: 
A comic-book-based movie originally released a year ago that spent the rest of 2024 being touted everywhere as “a serious Razzie contender”
Megalopolis 
(aka WTF the Movie): An incoherent $120 million mess from the fabled director of The Godfather
