The announcement of the nominations for the 2023 Oscar Awards has brought a multitude of curiosities, but I think that none is as striking as that of ‘Blonde’. And it is that the film of Netflix starring Ana de Armas could become the second to win both an Oscar and a Razzie.
For now, ‘Blonde’ aspires to eight Razzie awards and an Oscar. It is more likely that he will get one of the first than that Ana de Armas will win the precious statuette that the Hollywood Academy awards, but this possibility should not be ruled out. Of course, it is more difficult than it seems, because until now only ‘Wall Street’ did it, because michael douglas took the Oscar and Daryl Hannah the Razzie.
Other curiosities of the link between Óscar and Razzie
In fact, it is quite rare for a film to be nominated for both awards, but there are several examples over the years as ‘Gloria’ (won a Razzie but no Oscar), ‘flash dance’ (he won an Oscar but no Razzie), ‘The Godfather. Part III’ (won two Razzies but no Oscar), ‘The Bodyguard’ (left empty in both cases), ‘The Lone Ranger’ (won two Razzies but no Oscar), ‘Joker’ (two Oscars but zero Razzies) or ‘Borat, film sequel film’ (it left empty in both cases).
What has happened before is that the same person wins the Oscar and the Razzie that same year but for different films, something impossible in the case of ‘Blonde’. Here are at least three examples, Allan Menken in 1993 (Oscar for ‘Aladdin’ and Razzie for ‘The Gang’), Brian Helgeland in 1997 (Oscar for ‘LA Confidential’ and Razzie for ‘Messenger from the Future’) and Sandra Bullock in 2010 (Oscar for ”The Blind Side (A possible dream)’ and Razzie for ‘Crazy obsession’).
