‘Blonde’ Leads With 8 Nods – Deadline

Andrew Dominik’s controversial Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde landed eight nominations from this year’s Razzie Awards, including Worst Picture. 

Announcing the film’s Razzies haul, the organization described the biopic as a film that “explores the exploitation of Marilyn Monroe…by continuing to exploit her posthumously.” Dominik also picked up Worst Screenplay and Director nominations. 

Rapper Machine Gun Kelly’s stoner comedy Good Mourning trails Blonde with seven nominations. The Razzies called the flick a “laugh-free stoner comedy achieving the rare feat of scoring a perfect ZERO on Rotten Tomatoes.” Kelly, who shares co-writing and screenplay credits with Mod Sun, racked up four noms, including worst actor. 

Kelly will “compete” for the prize with Tom Hanks, who picked up a Worst Actor nom for his portrayal of Gepetto in Robert Zemeckis’s Pinocchio. Hanks also landed among the Worst Supporting Actor noms for Elvis. Hanks plays Elvis’s long-time manager Colonel Tom Parker in the pic, and the Razzies described his performance as “latex-laden, ludicrously accented.” 

Elsewhere Jared Leto’s Morbius clocked five noms, including Worst Actor for Leto himself. 

The “winners” will be “honored” on March 11, the day before the Academy Awards. Watch the nomination video above. The full list of noms is listed below.
