It was Batman v Superman versus Hillary’s America at the 2017 Golden Raspberry Awards, a.k.a. The Razzies. The winners, highlighting the “cinematic sludge” of the past year, were announced the day before the Oscars wherein both films were “awarded” four titles.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, directed by Man of Steel‘s Zack Snyder, earned Worst Supporting Actor for Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor, Worst Screen Combo for Ben Affleck’s Batman and Henry Cavill’s Superman, Worst Screenplay for Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer, and Worst Remake, Rip-off, or Sequel.
The DC superhero face-off took in a worldwide total of $873.3 million, after facing an onslaught of negative reviews.
Political documentary Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, pegged as revealing “the sordid truth about Hillary and the secret history of the Democratic Party,” earned the not-so-coveted prize of Worst Picture. Dinesh D’Souza, the conservative political commenter behind the film, won both Worst Actor and Worst Director, while “the ‘actress’ who plays Hillary Clinton” won Worst Actress.
The only categories left were for Worst Supporting Actress, going to Kristen Wiig in Zoolander No. 2, and the Razzie Redeemer Award, going to Mel Gibson for directing Hacksaw Ridge.
