A “honey and blood” version of the cute teddy bear Winnie the Pooh was the big star of the 44th edition of the Golden Raspberry Awards, the awards that annually distinguish the worst in cinema. 'A big hit with Razzies voters', explained the organization in a statement sent to SAPO MAG, as “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” completed the categories in which it competed: Worst Film of 2023, Remake/Exploration/Sequel, Duo, Director and Screenplay were the distinctions in the popularly known awards like the Razzies or the worst “Oscars”, always announced the day before the big night in Hollywood.
