20 Terrible Razzie Mistakes - Corrected
20. Gods Of Egypt - Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screen Combo And Worst Screenplay
Gods of Egypt isn't particularly great, but if you watch it in the right mood you'll likely find it an amusing B-Movie that's surprisingly charming at times, meaning it was definitely not one of the worst films of the year. Remember, we are talking about 2016, a year containing films like X-Men: Apocalypse, High Rise, Bad Neighbours 2, Now You See Me 2, Inferno, Suicide Squad, London has Fallen, Office Christmas Party, Nine Lives and Fifty Shades of Black.
Generally, the 2017 Razzies were a complete shambles from top to bottom; it was 'rewarding' the films of 2016, which was a shockingly bad year for films, and somehow it completely missed the mark.
Gods of Egypt's nomination for Worst Actor (Gerard Butler) was OK since that was shared with the hideous London has Fallen, but it wasn't one of the poorest, worst-directed or worst-written movies of the year.
Corrected:
This one's easy. The worst film of 2016 was the execrable, 0/10 spoof movie Fifty Shades of Black, and that should've taken all four of these nominations. For some reason, it only got two nominations at the actual ceremony: Worst Supporting Actress (Jane Seymour) and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel.
