It’s no surprise that The Color Purple dominated these nominations. The overperformance of Rustin and They Cloned Tyrone, however, was not expected. There are also several TV programs in the below list because some of the categories are for both TV and film. As such, the nominations tallies for those titles are not accurate of…

The Razzies always punch down and there’s nothing here I wouldn’t have expected. Though, I’m really surprised there wasn’t a single nomination for Sound of Freedom. That’s the kind of movie these guys love to rag on. Award Tallies (7) Expend4bles (5) The Exorcist: Believer, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (4) Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania,…

Margot Robbie was excised from Best Actress for Annette Bening and Greta Gerwig lost her DGA-sanctioned spot in Best Directing to two foreign directors.
