Donald Trump, Melissa McCarthy and Holmes & Watson were the big “winners” at the 39th annual Razzie Awards, an annual celebration of the worst cinema has to offer.
“Holmes & Watson,” a Sherlock spoof starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly won the ill-coveted Worst Picture prize, in addition to Worst Supporting Actor (Reilly), Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel and Worst Director.
However, what made headlines, unsurprisingly, was who won Worst Actor.
“Our next winner has said of himself, ‘My whole life is about winning, I don’t lose often, I almost never lose, I don’t like losers.’ So not surprisingly, he won. Again,” the Razzies’ emcee said of Trump’s win for both Worst Actor (“As himself” appearances” in Death of a Nation and Fahrenheit 11/9) and Worst Screen Combo (Trump and “his self-perpetuating pettiness”).
Kellyanne Conway also won Best Supporting Actress for her appearance in Fahrenheit 11/9.
