The 44th Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, honored the worst the film industry had to offer in 2023 on March 9, 2024. [1] These awards are based on votes from members of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation (1,179 movie buffs, film critics and journalists from 49 US States, and two dozen foreign countries). [1] The nominations were announced on January 22, 2024. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Additionally, with four nods, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania earned the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) its first-ever Razzie nominations, breaking the franchise's 16-year streak without a single Razzie Award nomination.

In August 2023, a statement by John J. B. Wilson and Maureen "Mo" Murphy announced that the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation was considering the possibility of setting a new precedent by awarding Walt Disney Studios the Barry L. Bumstead Award to an entire studio for the first time ever (and not just an individual theatrical film). [9] This is due to Disney's centennial anniversary releases (ex. Peter Pan & Wendy , Elemental , Wish , Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny , The Little Mermaid , Haunted Mansion , The Marvels , Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania , etc.) causing "the once phenomenally profitable Walt Disney Pictures [to suffer] failure after failure at the box office" [9] [10] when "corporate honchos had hoped to spend th[e] entire year celebrating a century of success". [9] Ultimately the award was not presented.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Golden Raspberry Awards</span> Awards presented in recognition of the worst in film

The Golden Raspberry Awards is a parody award show honoring the worst of cinematic failures. Co-founded by UCLA film graduates and film industry veterans John J. B. Wilson and Mo Murphy, the Razzie Awards' satirical annual ceremony is preceded by its opposite, the Academy Awards, by four decades. The term raspberry is used in its irreverent sense, as in "blowing a raspberry". The statuette itself is a golf ball-sized raspberry atop a Super 8mm film reel atop a 35-millimeter film core with brown wood shelf paper glued and wrapped around it—sitting atop a jar lid spray-painted gold. The Golden Raspberry Foundation has claimed that the award "encourages well-known filmmakers and top-notch performers to own their bad."

The 1st Golden Raspberry Awards were held on March 31, 1981, at founder John J. B. Wilson's living room alcove to recognize the worst the film industry had to offer in 1980. For it was a double feature of Can't Stop the Music, winner of Worst Picture, and Xanadu that inspired Wilson to start the Razzies. Each category included as many as ten nominees; the maximum was lowered to five the following year to mirror the Oscars. "There was a fake stage in John's apartment," remembers Maureen Murphy, who was a presenter.
