Which award group gave The Emoji Movie its Worst Picture award?

The Golden Raspberry Awards gave The Emoji Movie its Worst Picture award.

The film won Worst Picture at the 38th Golden Raspberry Awards, commonly called the Razzies, honoring movies released in 2017. The ceremony took place on March 3, 2018. The Emoji Movie also won Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, and Worst Screen Combo, giving it four awards that year.

The Razzies are a satirical counterpart to major film awards. Winners are selected by members of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation, which uses deliberately humorous categories to spotlight films and performances judged to be the year’s weakest. The Worst Picture prize is the organization’s headline award.

The Emoji Movie made Razzie history because it became the first full-length animated feature to win Worst Picture. It was nominated alongside live-action films including Baywatch, Fifty Shades Darker, The Mummy, and Transformers: The Last Knight. The award should not be confused with a critics’ prize: it was an intentionally negative honor, not a conventional filmmaking award.
