Trump just won two Razzie Awards because his failure knows no bounds
It wouldn't be awards season without Hollywood taking some healthy distance and noting the year's worst work in addition to its best. The 39th Golden Raspberry Awards honored identified (convicted?) some of the year's worst films and performances, including a not-so-fictional on-screen turn by the President himself.
Donald Trump got two Razzies: One for his "performance" in Death of a Nation and Fahrenheit 11/9, and one for constantly choosing to work with his "self-perpetuating pettiness" on an international stage. It would be funnier if it weren't depressing, but isn't that the tightrope we've been walking for two years?
Other winners included the flopped Holmes & Watson, the summer's raunchy puppet adventure The Happytime Murders, and even two performances from Oscar nominee Melissa McCarthy.
