Taking away racism, also Ruth Negga.
And Emma Stone.
Jim Carrey.
I don’t know, maybe if she were a better actress
Carey needs a comedy.
Now I want a Carey Mulligan/Ruth Negga silent drama and a Jim Carrey/Emma Stone silent comedy.
Huh -- ouch.
Cash -- yes pleaze on both counts.
Michelle Williams -- 70 years ago.

Carey Mulligan, Ruth Negga, and certainly Marion Cotillard would all excel in the silent era. Such beautifully expressive faces!
Ralph Fiennes
Paul Bettany
Maggie Cheung
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Emily Watson
Samantha Morton
Elizabeth Debicki
Thanks for those Leon! I hope Jlaw and Emma Watson both make the Worst Actress bottom 5, haha!
Yep Emma, I hope Winslet gets her first Razzie nom. Not only she deserves it for that dreadful perf imo (And not going for that circus of campaign) but in recent years she has been in full automode. #sorrynotsorry
I've never been a fan of her screen presence, but I thought she was excellent in Mudbound.
Yes, I can see Carey Mulligan as a silent star in the style of Mae Marsh.
My vote would go to Noomi Rapace. It isn't just a look the silent stars had to have, they also had to convey the story through expressive movement. As well as the ringleted belles, there was sweeping melodrama and tragedy.
If you think of Noomi Rapace in "Prometheus" in the self-surgery scene (scream!!) the movement and vivid intensity of that scene conveyed the story, not the words.
Yes, absolutely. As would Julianne Moore (as evidenced by "Wonderstruck").
"WORST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Michelle Pfeiffer / Mother! "
Man, did i not like Mother! but YOU TAKE THAT BACK RAZZIES! YOU TAKE THAT RIGHT BACK AND SAY YOU'RE SORRY!
Adèle Exarchopoulos ("Blue Is the Warmest Color")
Emma Stone ("La La Land")
Scarlett Johansson ("Girl With a Pearl Earring")
Carey Mulligan ("Mudbound")
Octavia Spencer ("The Help")
Julianne Moore ("La vie en rose")
Marion Cotillard ("Wonderstruck")
Jennifer Hudson ("Almost Famous")
Ruth Negga ("Loving")
Greta Gerwig ("Frances Ha")
.
All them would be great silent actresses!
Just ignore them. The Razzies are infamous for lumping in everything from a movie they loathe (like mother!), even when there are clearly superlative performances or elements (such as Pfeiffer or, say, Gina Gershon in Showgirls) that don’t deserve to be on their short/shit list. (Painting with a broad brush shows critical failings, not taste.)
Marion Cotillard was in Wonderstruck? Also, the notion of Jennifer Hudson in Almost Famous just blew my mind.
@Mareko
Sorry, I switched Moore and Cotillard (my mistake). And it's not Jennifer, it's Kate Hudson who appears in "Almost Famous". Maybe I'm still in alcoholic mode from New Year's Eve xD
The "correct way":
- Julianne Moore ("Wonderstruck")
- Marion Cotillard ("La vie en rose")
- Kate Hudson ("Almost Famous")
Jennifer Hudson as Penny Lane is a movie that I need to see NOW.
Considering how underwhelmed I was by her in Dreamgirls, then how overwhelmed I was by her in Chi-Raq - basically, she's an actress that I need to see more of, moving forward.
@Manuel - Agreed on Samantha Morton. Her performance in Sweet & Lowdown was fantastic.
Claire Foy, for sure, needs to be added to the silent movie star category.
Samantha Morton should have won for Sweet and Lowdown
As much as Sally Hawkins is a dream in The Shape Of Water, I would have loved to see Carey in the role.
I've been hoping for a McQueen/Fassy/Mulligan reunion ever since Shame. Fassy got most of the accolades (not that he didn't deserve it since he gave a phenomenal performance) but Mulligan is also fantastic in that film. I want these three to come together on screen again and maybe in something not so damn depressing!
Eugh I hate the Razzies with a passion, they're so negative and mean and do not hide their misogyny one bit!
Is it possible for the Razzies to jump the shark? If it is, they did with that Pfeiffer nomination.
Is that shade?
I really thought that Carey Mulligan would have fulfilled on the immense promise she showed in "An Education" almost TEN years ago! But sadly she hasn't. She should be on her third nomination, at least, by now. And her latest film is stolen by Mary J. Blige? Like, seriously?
It's strange that with so much "love" that Baywatch is receiving (with potential nominations for Zac Efron, Dwayne Johnson and Alexandra Daddario) and not see Jon Bass on the list who in my opinion is the worst of the cast. Come on Razzies, be more creative.
I must admit that for me it's funny that many here were sure that Michelle Pfeiffer was going to be nominated to even win the Oscar for Mother (and I still know some believe she can be a surprise nominee) and in the end maybe nominate her for Razzie. Who'd say.
I lurve Michelle Pfeiffer but that performance is not her Oscar return. She's equally wonderful and annoying in it (her, Ed Harris and the sons are effectively frustrating and obnoxious) but the movie as a whole is a tough sell. Plus, (spoiler), she disappears in the second act.
And yes, I thought Carey was going to be an Oscar perennial too. She had two really great shots with Shame and Suffragette (I personally would've nominated her for The Great Gatsby along with Joel Edgerton).
