‘Winnie the Pooh’ horror movie, Megan Fox sweep
Oh, bother.
Winnie the Pooh was the big winner at Saturday’s Golden Raspberry Awards, better known as the Razzies, scoring prizes for Worst Screenplay; Worst Director; Worst Screen Couple; Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel; and overall Worst Picture.
“Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” earned 3% among critics and 50% among audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. The Post’s film critic, Johnny Oleksinski, called it a demented and sicko indie horror film.
Other Razzie champions include Oscar winner Jon Voight, 85, for his “Lucky Charms leprechaun” Irish accent in the 2023 crime thriller “Mercy.”
Megan Fox, 37, took home a pair of trophies, for Worst Actress (“Johnny & Clyde”) and Worst Supporting Actress (“Expend4bles”), a rare Razzie feat.
Sylvester Stallone received yet another Razzie, for Worst Supporting Actor (“Expend4bles”). Stallone, 77, is the king of the Razzies with double-digit wins.
And the Razzie Redeemer Award, given to a past contender who has improved their resume, was bestowed upon SAG/AFTRA President Fran Drescher, 66, for “her brilliant shepherding of the actors’ guild through a prolonged 2023 strike, with a highly successful conclusion.”
Last year, the Razzies honored “Blonde” for Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay; Machine Gun Kelly and Mod Sun for Worst Director (“Good Mourning”); and Jared Leto for Worst Actor (“Morbius”).
There was no winner for Worst Actress after child actor Ryan Kiera Armstrong was nominated for “Firestarter.” Razzie co-founder John Wilson apologized for the “insensitive” move in January 2023.
“The recent valid criticism of the choice of 11-year-old Armstrong as a nominee for one of our awards brought our attention to how insensitive we’ve been in this instance,” Wilson’s statement read, in part. “As a result, we have removed Armstrong’s name from the Final Ballot that our members will cast next month.”
The Razzies, first held on March 31, 1981, was co-founded by University of California, Los Angeles School of Theater, Film and Television graduates Wilson, now a copywriter in the entertainment industry, and Maureen Murphy, a video editor.
The parody awards show, held the day before the annual Academy Awards, is inspired by the phrase “blowing a raspberry” — implying the fart-like noise.
