From the Netflix series
The Crown
to the biopic
Spencer
, which earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination for Kristen Stewart, projects inspired by the life of Princess Diana have been able to appease and seduce critics.
Series law ended with the infamous musical
Diana
, which was pulled after 33 Broadway performances.

Its capture by Netflix had the dubious honor of triumphing at the Razzie Awards, the anti-Oscars which distinguish the worst films of the year.
Diana has therefore accumulated five trophies including that of the worst feature film, director, screenplay, actress and female supporting role for the unfortunate Jeanna de Waal, who is ahead of Amy Adams tortured in Joe Wright's failed thriller
The woman at the window
, and Judy Kaye.
Jared Leto and his award-winning unlikely Italian accent
Another winner despite himself of the Razzies, the ugly and soporific sequel to
Space Jam
where LeBron James takes up the torch from Michael Jordan and rubs shoulders with cartoon characters Bugs Bunny.
The NBA giant won the Worst Actor Razzie for his poor performance in this film which hideously mixes live action scenes and characters from Warner Bros. cartoons.
In total,
Space Jam: New Era
, touted by organizers as
"a 115-minute long commercial for all things WarnerMedia produced
," won three Razzies.
The "Golden Raspberry Awards", the official name of the Razzies, were invented in a Los Angeles living room in 1981 by former film students and Hollywood professionals.
They are traditionally awarded the day before the Academy Awards.
Oscar-winning comedian Jared Leto won the Worst Supporting Actor category for his rambunctious, prosthetic performance and improbable Italian accent in
Ridley Scott 's controversial
House of Gucci .
A special category Bruce Willis
The organizers of the Razzies had created a category this year solely dedicated to Bruce Willis and intended to distinguish his “worst performances in a film of 2021”.
In these works, generally on a very low budget and broadcast only in streaming, the icon of
Piège de cristal
takes on roles as original as disillusioned sheriff, former police officer, retired general or ex-CIA agent.
None of these films, where Bruce Willis often only appears very briefly but which he actively promotes, won more than 20% positive reviews on the Rotten Tomatoes site, which aggregates ratings from different sources.
Rare performance, three of these films (
American Siege, Apex and Out of Death
) show a score of 0% from critics.
Of all these turnips, it was the science fiction story
Cosmic Sin
that won the award.
Will Smith, price of redemption
The Razzies nevertheless have a more positive category “the statuette of redemption” which crowns the best comeback.
The recipient this year is Will Smith, on track to win his first Oscar this Sunday for his performance in
The Williams Method
, where he plays the authoritarian, ambitious and egocentric father of tennis players Venus and Serena Williams.
Special mention also went to Jamie Dorman for moving from
Fifty Shades Of Gray
to Kenneth Branagh's
Belfast
and NIcolas Cage for his disturbing role as a hermit cook in
Pig.
