The highly anticipated Joker: Madness for Two, a musical sequel starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, failed to win over critics and audiences. The film, considered a commercial and artistic failure, leads the 2025 Razzie Awards nominations with seven nominations, including worst picture, worst actor for Joaquin Phoenix, and worst actress for Lady Gaga. A performance far from the first opus, crowned at the Oscars.
Created in 1981 as a parody of the Oscars, the Razzie Awards honor the worst achievements in cinema. In addition to Joker: Madness for Two, other films have also been singled out, such as megalopolis by Francis Ford Coppola and madam web, each with six nominations. Categories such as worst duo or worst screenplay particularly targeted the productions that were criticized.
The Razzie Awards "winners" will be announced on March 1, the day before the Oscars. While some films are hoping for recognition in Hollywood, Joker: Madness for Two seems destined to shine…for the wrong reasons.
