The Razzies were dominated by slasher movie Winnie the Pooh: Bloody and Honey, but there was enought room for The Expend4bles to take a bow too.
- Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey dominated the Razzie Awards, winning Worst Picture, Director, and Screenplay for Rhys Frake-Waterfield.
- The sequel’s trailer promises more low-budget gore, banking on the popularity of the horror retelling of the classic children’s tale.
- Other notable “winners” included Stallone and Fox in The Expend4bles, with Fran Drescher receiving the Razzie Redeemer Award.
It literally was a Pooh year at the 44th Razzie Awards, with slasher movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey taking home five of the dubious honors on offer. Ahead of the Oscars on Sunday night, the Razzies unveiled their results earlier today, and it was probably no surprise the unexpected hit movie that makes the most of A.A. Milne’s characters falling into the public domain came out on top. Or bottom, depending on how one views it.

Leading the pack of this year’s most (un)honored films, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey achieved most of the ceremony’s biggest awards, including Worst Picture, Director, and Screenplay for Rhys Frake-Waterfield, as well as Worst Screen Couple for the childhood-destroying pairing of a monstrous Pooh and Piglet. The film also secured the award for Worst Remake, Rip-off, or Sequel. This no doubt means that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 will probably be vying for the same awards this time next year – unless one of Frake-Waterfield’s other planned horror movies comes in to take the prize.
The first trailer for the quickly-created sequel to Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey recently landed, revealing more low-budget gore and ultra-violence all in the name of making a bit of money from a popular character name. Although the new film does come with an increased budget, it does seem to be playing to the same audience as its predecessor. The Razzie panel will probably have already given out 2025’s awards in their heads
