Why Halle Berry went to collect her Razzie?
The 56-year-old actress confidently admitted in an interview with Vanity Fair, that an award doesn’t define how much bad or good of a performer someone is. According to her, an Oscar doesn’t signify anyone as Best but only acknowledges them for their brilliant performance in the respective year. Similarly, a Razzie also can’t validate one as a terrible actor.
“I went to the Razzie [Awards] because I feel like we all take ourselves so seriously. If we get an award, if we get the Oscar, we somehow are made to feel like we’re somehow better than everybody else, but we’re really not. You were just chosen that year by your peers, and you were acknowledged for doing what they considered stellar work. If you find yourself face-to-face with a Razzie, does that mean you’re the worst actor there ever was? Probably not. You just got the piss taken out on you that year by a group of people that can.”
