Criticism
On January 31, 2019, the ceremony was accused of rigging the vote tallies for its nominees. For example, Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades Freed) and Kevin Spacey (Billionaire Boys Club) received enough votes for Worst Actor, but neither were included on the final nominee list.{{cite web |last=Gardner |first=Chris |date=January 31, 2019 |title="Technical Difficulties" Leave Some to Wonder If the Razzies Are Rigged |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/rambling-reporter/technical-difficulties-leave-some-wonder-razzies-are-rigged-1180644 |access-date=February 10, 2019 |work=The Hollywood Reporter}}
The ballot itself was also heavily criticized for overlooking critically panned films{{Cite web |author= |date=2019-01-02 |title=The 2018 Razzie Ballot is Awful |url=https://the-avocado.org/2019/01/02/the-2018-razzie-ballot-is-awful/ |access-date=2022-07-08 |website=The Avocado |language=en-US}} and the nomination and win of non-acting performances for documentary stock footage.{{Cite web |date=2020-11-29 |title=The 'Razzies' Get Political With Awards To Trump, Melania and Kellyanne Conway: Social Media Just Disappointed |url=https://www.libertybugle.com/the-razzies-get-political-with-awards-to-trump-melania-and-kellyanne-conway-social-media-just-disappointed/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201129201730/https://www.libertybugle.com/the-razzies-get-political-with-awards-to-trump-melania-and-kellyanne-conway-social-media-just-disappointed/ |archive-date=2020-11-29 |access-date=2022-07-08 }}
Despite mix-to-poor reviews, the awards was criticized for nominating The Meg in the Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel as a rip-off of Steven Spielberg's 1975 film Jaws despite having nothing to do with the film besides having a shark as an antagonist.{{Cite web |last=Disalvo |first=Tom |date=2022-03-27 |title=From 'The Shining' To 'Jaws:' 10 Times The Razzies Got It Wrong |url=https://collider.com/times-the-razzies-got-it-wrong/ |access-date=2022-11-14 |website=Collider |language=en-US}}
