From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The 2020 Golden Raspberry Awards have been announced, as is tradition, right before Hollywood celebrates the best films of the year at the Oscars.
The Razzies pay tribute to what judges regard as the worst films of the past 12 months, with Cats, A Madea Family Funeral and Rambo: Last Blood leading the nominations.
Tyler Perry is up for Worst Actress after his performance as Madea, along with Hilary Duff for The Haunting of Sharon Tate, Anne Hathaway (The Hustle and Serenity), Francesca Hayward (Cats), and Rebel Wilson (The Hustle).
Perry is also nominated for Worst On-Screen Combo, as are any “half-feline/half-human hairballs”, plus Jason Derulo and his “CGI-neutered 'bulge'” in Cats; Rambo star Stallone and his “impotent rage”; and John Travolta and “any screenplay he accepts”.
A new category has been added this year to recognise a lack of regard for human life and public property – Joker, The Haunting of Sharon Tate, Hellboy and Rambo: Last Blood are nominated.
Joker is the only film this year to be nominated for both an Oscar and a Razzie.
