The 44th Golden Raspberry Awards, or the Razzies, honored the worst the film industry had to offer in 2023 on March 9, 2024.[1][2][3] The 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).[4] The nominations were announced on January 22, 2024.[5][6][7][8] 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.[9][10][11]
In August 2023, a statement by John J. B. Wilson and Maureen 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 to an individual theatrical film); ultimately, the award was not presented.[12] This was due to the studio's centennial anniversary releases (e.g. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Elemental, Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, The Little Mermaid, The Marvels, Peter Pan & Wendy, and Wish) causing "the once phenomenally profitable Walt Disney Pictures [to suffer] failure after failure at the box office" when "corporate honchos had hoped to spend th[e] entire year celebrating a century of success".[12][13][14]
Upon learning of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey sweeping every award it was nominated for, the film's writer-director (Rhys Frake-Waterfield) reacted in an interview for Variety, stating: "I'm surprised our micro-budget film is being compared to Hollywood, but nevertheless I don't mind the dubious honor as it places me in the same pool as directors whose work I admire so much."[15] Producer Scott Chambers also chimed in with his reaction, saying: "I think it is something to celebrate. But yeah, I'm always a little bit protective of Rhys because obviously he's so early on in his career where the others, David Gordon Green and stuff that were in his category, they've got a solid career whereas Rhys is so early. And I feel like the director one was probably the one I disagree with the most, but the others, I'm like, 'Yeah, whatever.' Do you know what I mean? It is what it is and it's fine."[16]
