It’s safe to say that this year’s Razzie voters are not Adam Sandler fans. The actor already broke Eddie Murphy’s record for having the most nominations in a year, and now he’s gone one better (worse?) by sweeping the board and receiving a record 10 gongs for filmic awfulness.
Admittedly not every single award went to him personally, but it does mean Jack & Jill, which Sandler both produced and starred in, is the first film in the 32-year history of the Razzies to sweep all 10 dishonourable categories. Sandler won for both Worst Actor and Worst Actress, an impressive feat in itself, while co-stars Al Pacino and David Spade also picked up gongs in the worst supporting actor and actress categories.
It’s actually a pretty impressive achievement and Sandler ought to be oddly proud, while feeling extremely ashamed at the same time!

Voting was also expanded from just Golden Raspberry members to the users of the Rotten Tomatoes websites, so it really was a popular vote deciding Sandler’s film was the absolute worst!

Mia Wasikowska has the sort of fresh face and innocence that make her perfect for period roles, whether it’s Alice going down the rabbit hole or the governess Jane Eyre. The actress doesn’t seem too worried about being typecast in corsetted part, as Variety reports that she’s signed up for the title role in director Sophie Barthes’ take on Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary.
While actress Amanda Peet had success on TV with Jack & Jill and Studio 60, she’s been an irregular presence on movie screens, although she did get decent roles in the likes of The Whole Nine Yards, 2012 and Gulliver’s Travels. Now 
While it dropped nearly 60% from its record-breaking opening, The Hunger Games easily topped the US box office for a second weekend with $61.1 million, marking the seventh highest second-weekend ever.
It appears Bridesmaids director Paul Feig wants to head in a slightly different direction, with a movie that has space for some humour but also has the potential for plenty of Oscar-bait emotion.
