The Razzie Awards, which took place this weekend, are the annual ceremony that celebrates the worst in film. They are the opposite of the Oscars and host their show around the same time as the Academy's glamorous event. This year markedly saw Machine Gun Kelly and Mod Sun taking home the dubious honor of worst directors of the year for their movie Good Mourning. The film stars Colson Baker as an actor, with his real-life BFF playing his on-screen friend. It also stars Megan Fox, who is in a turbulent relationship with MGK.
The movie remains a commercial failure. It received next to no positive reviews, and many have called it a complete mess. The recording artist's project also only made $21,348 after a short time in the theaters. Now the directors of the film get to take home an appropriate award for their directing skills. While the movie Blonde beat Good Mourning for the worst movie, it appears Andrew Dominik did a better job at directing. Aside from the aforementioned award, MGK was also nominated for the worst actor in his movie. However, he was beaten by Jared Leto.
MGK And Mod Sun Win At Losing
Machine Gun Kelly got his start in acting in 2018 and directing in 2021. His first time behind the camera was his latest venture with Mod Sun. The two seem to enjoy working on movies together, as they reunited on Good Mourning after their previous film, Downfalls High. The latter has a much better reputation than their current "award-winning" release. The former arrived in 2021 and is a dramatic musical that showcases Baker's musical capabilities.
Along with MGK and Mod Sun, there are many others that joined the pair in winning awards this weekend – and not at the Oscars. Disney's Pinocchio won worst remake, while Jared Leto and Tom Hanks won worst actor and supporting actor for their appearances in Morbius and Elvis, respectively. Currently, neither of the Good Mourning directors has commented publicly on their new and unflattering accolades. Make sure to check back in later as reactions to the Razzie Awards continue to pour in.
