Razzies rescind 'award' poking fun at Bruce Willis after actor's recently disclosed illness

The Razzies created a special category for the actor this year, nominating him eight times for 'Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie', for each of his movies, but rescinded the award given his recently disclosed diagnosis. Photo: Reuters

The Razzies on Thursday (March 31) rescinded the satirical award they had created poking fun at Bruce Willis for his body of work in 2021 after his family announced he was retiring from acting due to the cognitive disorder aphasia.

The awards' founders also rescinded a worst actress nomination for Shelley Duvall in the 1980 film The Shining because of reported mistreatment by late director Stanley Kubrick.
