‘The Emoji Movie’ tops Razzies Worst Movie Award

Hi-5 (James Corden) and Gene (T.J.Miller) in Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation’s THE EMOJI MOVIE.

“The Emoji Movie” is the big winner at the 38th annual Golden Raspberry Awards, taking the worst picture of 2017.

Sony’s animated comedy topped “Baywatch,” “Fifty Shades Darker,” “The Mummy,” and “Transformers: The Last Knight.” The fifth “Transformers” movie, called “Transformers XVII: The Last Knight” in the announcement, led the pack with seven nominations when they were announced on Jan. 22.

“Leading this year’s list of movie-misfires is the emoticon-based, talking poop opus,” the Razzies said.

The annual awards were announced on Saturday in their traditional time slot, the day before the Academy Awards. “The Emoji Movie” won four of the 10 Razzies, also taking worst screenplay, worst director, and worst screen combo, given to “any two obnoxious emojis” from the movie.

Tom Cruise won worst actor for his reboot of “The Mummy” and Tyler Perry took worst actress for “Boo 2! A Madea Halloween.”

Kim Basinger won worst supporting actress for “Fifty Shades Darker” — 21 years after she won the best-supporting-actress Academy Award for “LA Confidential.”

Mel Gibson won worst supporting actor for “Daddy’s Home 2.” Gibson received the best director and best picture Oscars for 1995’s “Braveheart.”

“Baywatch” won the inaugural Special Rotten Tomatoes Award: The Razzie Nominee So Bad You Loved It! The award is the result of an online poll with the Rotten Tomatoes.

The Razzies organization made the announcement with a video titled “Who says the recycled material is good for your health?”
