The Golden Raspberry Awards ‘celebrate’ the very worst in movies over the last twelve months, and Freed’s prequel Fifty Shades Darker was nominated multiple times.
While Dornan and Johnson thankfully didn’t ‘win’ the Worst Actor and Actress categories they were nominated in, the franchise didn’t have a great deal of luck elsewhere.
Fifty Shades Darker was named Worst Remake, Ripoff or Sequel; beating Baywatch, Boo 2!, The Mummy and Transformers: The Last Knight.
Kim Basinger was also triumphant in the Worst Supporting Actress category.
She was chosen over The Mummy’s Sofia Boutella, Transformers: The Last Knight’s Laura Haddock, Snatched’s Goldie Hawn and Bad Moms Christmas’s Susan Sarandon.
For Worst Picture, though, Darker was off the hook: The Emoji Movie was chosen instead.
And the trilogy has had great news this week too: the ongoing success of Freed worldwide has enabled the trilogy to pass $ 1.2 billion at the worldwide box office.
Considering the combined budget of all three films was less than $ 200 million, that’s not too bad at all.
Johnson and Dornan have both ruled out further movies as Christian and Ana, whether or not author EL James pens any sequels.
Dornan’s upcoming work includes Robin Hood, due later this year.
Fifty Shades Freed is out now.
