Open Post: Hosted By Halle Berry Torching Her Razzie

December 6, 2021 / Posted by:

Halle Berry did an interview for Vanity Fair’s career timeline series and reflected on several past roles, from 1989’S Living Dolls all the way up to her most recent film/directorial debut, Bruised. She also discussed the iconic critical bomb Catwoman and winning the 2004 Razzie for Worst Actress. Halle explains that everybody takes themselves too seriously, and she wanted to accept the award in person and be “a good loser.” She says, “I had a great time and then I set that thing on fire.” That’s right, Halle torched her Golden Raspberry!

55-year-old (??!?!?!?!) Halle says, via The Hollywood Reporter:

“I went to the Razzie [Awards] because I feel like we all take ourselves so seriously,” she told Vanity Fair. “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.”

Berry went on to question whether an Oscar-winner is actually “better than the next person who didn’t get that award” before stating that her stance is that no, they’re “not at all.”

“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,” she stated.

She continues:

“If I can show up to collect an Oscar when you’re honoring me, I can certainly show up to collect a Razzie when you say, good try, but do better,” she explained. “I always learned that if you can’t be a good loser, then you don’t deserve to be a good winner. So I went there and made fun of myself.”

While the award-winning talent knows how to joke about herself and her work, she admitted that no one will find her Razzie displayed next to her Oscar. “I had a great time and then I set that thing on fire,” Berry said, laughing.

Here’s the video of the interview. The stuff about Catwoman and the Razzies is around the 11:20 mark:

But don’t worry about Halle Berry destroying a gold trophy. It’s not real gold. The gold is just spray paint. Estimated street value? $4.97. I hope Halle got high off the fumes!
