2025 Razzie Nominations: ‘Joker 2’, ‘Borderlands’ and ‘Madame Web’ Up for Cinema’s Worst

As Hollywood gears up for its biggest night with the Oscars, the Razzie Awards step in to recognise the year’s most… questionable cinematic endeavours.

The Golden Raspberry Awards, now in their 45th year, are voted on by over 1,200 critics, movie buffs, and journalists worldwide, representing 49 states and multiple countries. These voters have once again turned the spotlight on the year’s most critically lambasted films and performances.

This year’s frontrunners for the infamous Worst Picture category include Borderlands, Joker: Folie à Deux, Madame Web, Megalopolis, and Reagan. Each of these films racked up six nominations, tying them for the dubious title of most nominated. These titles also dominate the Worst Director category, with Jerry Seinfeld (helmer of Netflix release Unfrosted) joining the mix alongside Francis Ford Coppola (Megalopolis).

Oscar winners Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga (Joker: Folie à Deux), Cate Blanchett (Borderlands), and Ariana DeBose (Argylle and Kraven the Hunter) find themselves among the acting nominees. Jon Voight, already a familiar Razzie figure, earned nods for his performances in multiple projects, including Reagan and Megalopolis. Other notable mentions include Seinfeld’s performance in Unfrosted, Jennifer Lopez‘s turn in Atlas, Eli Roth’s direction for video game adaptation Borderlands, and the screenplay for Joker: Folie à DeuxKraven the Hunter and Rebel Moon 2 are in the Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel category, and “The Entire Cast of Megalopolis” is up for the Worst Screen Combo Razzie.

All the Razzies winners (losers?) will be revealed on March 1. And they’ve timed it well – that’s the night before the Oscars.
