In August 2023, a statement by John J. B. Wilson and Maureen "Mo" Murphy announced that the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation was considering the possibility of setting a new precedent by awarding Walt Disney Studios the Barry L. Bumstead Award to an entire studio for the first time ever (and not just an individual theatrical film).{{Cite web |last=Wilson |first=John J.B. |last2=Murphy |first2=Maureen "Mo" |date=2023-08-10 |title=August 10th, 2023 - What Went Horribly Wrong? |url=https://razzies.com/razz-blogz/august-10th-2023 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240307181658/https://razzies.com/razz-blogz/august-10th-2023 |archive-date=2024-03-07 |access-date=2023-10-30 |website=Razzie Awards |publisher=Golden Raspberry Awards |language=en-US}} This is due to Disney's centennial anniversary releases (ex. Peter Pan & Wendy, Elemental, Wish, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, The Little Mermaid, Haunted Mansion, The Marvels, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, etc.) causing "the once phenomenally profitable Walt Disney Pictures [to suffer] failure after failure at the box office"{{Cite web |last=Reid |first=Caroline |date=2023-08-04 |title=The 4 Flops Of 2023 That Cost Disney $1 Billion |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinereid/2023/08/04/the-four-flops-of-2023-that-cost-disney-1-billion/?sh=145b4ee93bed |url-status=unfit |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240307183034/https://gum.criteo.com/syncframe?origin=publishertag&topUrl=www.forbes.com |archive-date=2024-03-07 |access-date=2024-03-07 |website=Forbes |language=en-US}} when "corporate honchos had hoped to spend th[e] entire year celebrating a century of success". Ultimately the award was not presented.
Upon hearing of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey sweeping every award it was nominated for, the film's director, Rhys Frake-Waterfield reacted in an interview for Variety, "I'm surprised our micro-budget film is being compared to Hollywood, but nevertheless I don't mind the dubious honor as it places me in the same pool as directors whose work I admire so much."{{cite web|last1=Ritman|first1=Alex|title=‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey’ Director Brushes Off Razzie Awards Sweep: ‘I’m Surprised Our Micro-Budget Film Is Being Compared to Hollywood’|url=https://variety.com/2024/film/global/winnie-the-pooh-blood-and-honey-razzie-awards-response-1235935172/amp/|website=Variety|date=11 March 2024|access-date=11 March 2024}}
