Joker: Folie à Deux nominated for worst movie in 2024
As part of the 45th Razzie Awards that were delayed due to the horrific Los Angeles wildfires, Joker: Folie a Deux is being nominated as the worst movie of 2024, with Madame Web, Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, Borderlands, and Reagan coming in close second.
The sequel of what was once deemed one of the best DC movies of the present time was shattered by critics and fans alike by shifting its focus from a gritty and engaging storyline with interesting characters to a musical with no new necessary additions.

While taking the lead as the worst movie of 2024 in the 2025 Razzie Awards, Joker: Folie a Deux’s main cast Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix are also both up for worst actress and worst actor, as reported by Variety.
Moreover, the film was also nominated for worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel, and worst screenplay, while Tod Philips was nominated for worst director as well.
Its Oscar-winning prequel, directed by Tod Philipps earned a whopping $1 billion globally, while Joker: Folie a Deux only earned $206 million compared to its $200 million production budget.
The Razzie Awards press release mistakenly claimed that the Joker sequel was tied with films like Madame Web, each receiving six nominations. However, the Joker sequel actually has seven nominations, making it the leading contender. The awards committee later issued an official apology for miscounting the votes.
Joining Lady Gaga as the worst actresses are, Cate Blanchett in Borderlands, Bryce Dallas Howard in Argylle, Dakota Johnson in Madame Web, and Jennifer Lopez in Atlas.
On the contrary, joining Joaquin Phoenix as the worst actors include, Jack Black in Dear Santa, Zachary Levi in Harold and the Purple Crayon, Dennis Quaid in Reagan, and Jerry Seinfeld in Unfrosted. For the full list, you can visit the Razzies official website.
