Notes

The Razzie committee officially rescinded the nomination on March 31, 2022, stating "We have since discovered that Duvall's performance was impacted by Stanley Kubrick's treatment of her throughout the production." The retraction of the nomination was in response to public backlash the Razzies received after refusing to retract Bruce Willis's win for "Worst Bruce Willis Performance in a 2021 Movie" (a one-off category for his roles in eight films released that calendar year), after Willis's family announced that the star had been diagnosed with aphasia, a cognitive brain condition, and was subsequently retiring from acting on March 30, 2022. The Razzie committee retracted both Willis's win and Duvall's nomination the following day.[1]
