The Razzie Awards reversed course for the first time and rescinded two nominations on Thursday in the wake of Bruce Willis's aphasia diagnosis.
The award show’s co-founders, John Wilson and Mo Murphy, said they will no longer hand out its award for 'worst performance' by Willis in 2021. Willis, who is stepping away from acting following his diagnosis, had eight of his performances in 2021 nominated in the category, according to the Wrap.
In addition to Willis's award, the organization said it would rescind the worst actress nomination it had given to Shelley Duvall for her performance in The Shining. Since the nomination, the organization has learned that Duvall's performance was affected by her treatment by director Stanley Kubrick.The organization received backlash when it wrote on social media that it was sorry for Willis's diagnosis.
