Every actor in Hollywood surely would love to have an awards category named after them, and for one year, onlyBruce Willisis being given just that honor. However, it may not exactly be one that theDie Hardveteran will be quick to add to his CV, as the category in question is for Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie at the 42nd Razzie Awards. Joyously ridiculing the worst movies of the year,The Razzieshave gone one step further than usual this year to create Willis his own category for the eight movies he released in the last year, all of which have been deemed worthy of a Golden Raspberry nomination.
In an unprecedented move, the new category specifically to pit Bruce Willis against Bruce Willis will see seven movies released in 2021 and one from January 2022 competing to be named the best of the worst of Bruce Willis’ output of the last year. The list of movies comprises ofCosmic Sin, Deadlock, Apex, Fortress, Midnight in the Switchgrass, Out of Death, Survive the Game, and this year’sAmerican Siege. The decision seems to have been made to give other actors the dubious honor of walking away with an award in the Worst Actor category without Willis stealing their glory, and it is just as well as otherwise it would likely be a complete Willis wipe out.
Although Bruce Willis has starred in some of the biggest action movies of all time, it proves that even the most prominent stars can have an off day … or year in this case. However, although this is meant to be a one-off category, there is every chance that it may make a return next year as Willis has at least seven more Direct-to-Video movies coming out in the next 12 months, includingFortress 2, a sequel to one of this year’s nominated films.
