For IMMEDIATE Release
The Mean Gays Take Over The 44th Razzies® as Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey Sweeps For this year’s version of Tinseltown’s Most Notorious Trophy Derby, the 44th Annual Razzies® Awards co-founders John Wilson and Mo Murphy are daring something new. In a strategic partnership brokered by Evan Mirzai and his production banner House of M, viral comedic personalities The Mean Gays (Aaron Goldenberg & Jake Jonez) are set to host, write and produce this year's digital ceremony entitled THE MEAN GAYS TAKE OVER THE 44th RAZZIES®. The results of their efforts (and of the awards) are being unveiled on both the Razzie Channel and the Razzie Website on the now traditional date of “Oscar Eve,” Saturday, March 9. The big “winner” exists solely because the original author’s copyright on a beloved Children’s Literature character expired in 2023 – In other words, the film-makers could legally use someone else’s classic creation without even crediting them. Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey answers the age old question “What does a bear do in the woods?” The film made money, off of their purported budget of $100,000. But, more to the point, it was a huge hit with Razzie voters. Pooh swept all five categories for which it was nominated: Picture, Director, Screenplay, Screen Couple and Remake/Rip-Off/Sequel. The Actor Razzie went to Oscar® winner Jon Voight for his “Lucky Charms leprechaun” Irish accent in Mercy. Megan Fox can add another pair of trophies to her mantle after taking both Actress (for Johnny & Clyde) and Supporting Actress (for Expend4bles) a rare Razzie feat. Sylvester Stallone further cemented his claim to being the Awl Time Razzie Cham-Peen with a victory as Supporting Actor. And the Razzie Redeemer Award, given to a past contender who has since gone on to better things, went to SAG/AFTRA President Fran Drescher, for her brilliant shepherding of the actors’ guild through a prolonged 2023 strike, with a highly successful conclusion. A complete list of all “winners” is included below and is also available online at Razzies.com. The Official 44th Razzie Winners Video can be watched on the RazzieChannel.
