Nominating a 12 year old? F*** them,\u201d Devon Sawa, an actor and ex-child star, made the comment in a now-deleted Twitter. \u201cThat child could grow to be amazing if you haven\u2019t gotten in their head.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe razzies are already mean-spirited &#038; classless, but to nominate a kid is just repulsive &#038; wrong,\u201d Julian Hilliard, child actor <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_JulianHilliard\/status\/1617604428269514753\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">agreed<\/a>. \u201cWhy put a kid at risk of increased bullying or worse? Be better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Razzie Awards have previously been won by young actors, such as Jake Lloyd. \u201cStar Wars: Episode I \u2014 The Phantom Menace\u201d Macaulay Culkin to manage multiple projects.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>John Wilson, co-founder of Razzies, stated that awards organizers debated Armstrong&#8217;s inclusion because Armstrong was so young. However, they ultimately voted for Armstrong. <\/p>\n<p>Anyone can nominate nominees. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.razzies.com\/join-vote.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">purchases<\/a> An Annual Voting Razzie membership costs as low as $40.

The rage is interesting \u2014 perhaps somewhat justified, but I think overblown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson did not have what he considered good intentions but did make an apology for the nomination. \u201cThe intent was to be funny. In this particular instance, we seem to have misstepped very badly. I would admit that,\u201d He said.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Wilson rescinded Bruce Willis\u2019s Razzie Award after it was revealed that the actor was experiencing symptoms of aphasia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf someone\u2019s medical condition is a factor in their decision making and\/or their performance, we acknowledge that it is not appropriate to give them a Razzie,\u201d Wilson stated that Wilson made the comments at the time. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/razzies-rescind-award-for-bruce-willis-following-medical-diagnosis-it-is-not-appropriate\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Razzie Awards received flak after nominating a child actress for the Worst Actress category, which caused the organization\u2019s cofounder to apologize for the misstep.
