JERRY OLEA:
Humakot ng limang awards ang horror movie na Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey sa 44th Golden Raspberry Awards, o Razzies.
Nakamit nito ang (dis)honor sa mga kategoryang worst picture, worst director (Rhys Frake-Waterfield), worst screenplay (Rhys Frake-Waterfield), worst screen couple (Pooh at Piglet), at worst remake/rip-off/sequel.
Kinilala si Megan Fox bilang worst actress para sa Johnny & Clyde, at worst supporting actress para sa Expend4bles.
Worst actor si Jon Voight para sa Mercy, at worst supporting actor si Sylvester Stallone para sa Expend4bles.
Ang nagtamo ng Redeemer Award — 1998 Nominee and current SAG/AFTRA President Fran Drescher, for her brilliant shepherding of the actors’ guild through a prolonged 2023 strike with a successful conclusion.
Ginaganap ang parody award show na Razzies isang araw bago ang Oscars, o Academy Awards.
GORGY RULA:
Pito ang nominasyon ng Expend4bles pero dalawa lang ang nasungkit nitong tropeo sa 44th Razzies.
Tiglima ng nominasyon ang The Exorcist: Believer at Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.
Angat na angat ang Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, at nakopo ang award sa lahat ng kategoryang nominado ito.
Tig-isa ng award ang Mercy at Johnny & Clyde.
Iyong iba pang movies na nominado ay pawang umuwing “luhaan."
Tig-apat ng nominasyon ang Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, at Shazam! Fury of the Gods.
Tigtatlo ng nominasyon ang Ghosted at Meg 2: The Trench.
Samantala, Marso 10, Linggo ang 96th Academy Awards o Oscars, na gaganapin sa Dolby Theatre ng Hollywood, Los Angeles.

Walo ang nominasyon ng Barbie, kaya ang cultural phenomenon na Barbenheimer ay 21 ang nominations lahat-lahat. Competitors ang Barbie at Oppenheimer sa anim na kategorya.

At kahit gaano kasimple, kahit parang Oppenheimer at Killers of the Flower Moon ang mas maingay na pinapaboran na manalo, mas tagos pa rin sa puso ko ang simple at nanunuot na kuwento ng Past Lives…
Na tulad ng sinasabi na fate na kasasapitan nila bilang darkhorse sa category na Best Picture ay nagpaparanas sa atin ng “ache of what could have been in this life and the mystery of what might be in the next.” Sabeeeh!?!
