A horror film based on the beloved children’s literary character Winnie the Pooh faced the vengeance of Razzie voters in the annual Oscar spoof that spotlights Hollywood’s worst performances.

Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey swept the five categories it was nominated for at the 44th Razzies, which included worst picture, director, screenplay, screen couple and remake/rip-off/sequel.

The Razzie Redeemer Award, bestowed on a past contender who has “gone on to better things” since being nominated for a Razzie, went to The Nanny actor Fran Drescher for her leadership as SAG-AFTRA president during the 2023 actors strike.

Drescher was nominated in 1998 for worst actress in the romantic comedy film The Beautician and the Beast.

More than 1,100 Razzie members from across the United States and about two dozen other countries vote on the awards, according to the Razzie website.
