44th Golden Raspberry Awards
The 44th Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, honored the worst the film industry had to offer in 2023 on March 9, 2024. These awards are based on votes from members of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation (1,179 movie buffs, film critics and journalists from 49 US States, and two dozen foreign countries). The nominations were announced on January 22, 2024. Additionally, with four nods, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania earned the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) its first-ever Razzie nominations, breaking the franchise's 16-year streak without a single Razzie Award nomination.

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). 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" when "corporate honchos had hoped to spend th[e] entire year celebrating a century of success". Ultimately the award was not presented.
