Winning an Oscar is what every actress and actor is shooting for. It’s the proudest moment of their career.
So it’s kind of ironic that someone earns an Oscar and a Razzie nomination in the same year, since a Razzie is the official way of saying “your movie was crap”.
RELATED STORIES
I can only imagine that being nominated for both of these awards would cause some very conflicting emotions, and possibly existential crisis.
