The Razzies worst picture awards are getting a lot of flak for nominating Ryan Kiera Armstrong as worst actress for her role in ‘Eyes of Fire’. The interpreter, who he is only 12 years oldshe is on the shortlist, a decision that has sparked great outrage because she is only a girl.
One of the people who came to Armstrong’s defense is Julian Hilliard, Billy Maximoff in “Scarlet Witch and the Vision.” The 11-year-old actor posted the following on his Twitter account: “The Razzies are already assholes and classless, but naming a girl is repulsive and wrong. Why put a girl at risk of bullying or worse? be better”. Also, when told by another user that the Razzies are just a joke, he replied: “No, not when it comes to a girl. That “joke” can have a very negative impact. They’ve crossed a line”.
The razzies are already petty and classless, but naming a child is just plain repulsive and wrong. Why put a child at risk for increased bullying or worse? Be better.

Many Twitter users agree with Hilliard. In social networks we have seen responses like: “If you are under 18 you should be banned from the RazziesI never blame a child for acting, I blame the adults who said ‘yes'”.
In addition to Hilliard, other public figures such as Reece Beaumont (‘Blitz’) spoke about it: “If you want to know how despicable the Razzie Awards are, all you have to do is see them nominate a 12-year-old girl for Worst Actress”. To which critic Dave Lee replies: “The Razzies are the scum of the movie business.. I spoke to Ryan Keira Armstrong at the “Eyes of Fire” junket, she was thrilled to hear me say how wonderful I thought her performance was (and it really is). This can destroy any interpreter that is starting”.
The razzies are the scum of the movie business. Did I talk to Ryan Keira Armstrong about the Firestarter party? he was thrilled to hear me tell you how wonderful his performance of her was (and it really is). This must be gutting for any upcoming artists. https://t.co/4xFjMucn5D

More errors
It’s not an isolated case of this year’s Razzies nominating Armstrong. In 1982, they also nominated Gary Coleman at age 12 for his performance in ‘Lester the Rogue’ and Macaulay Culkin in 1994 at age 13 for his three films: ‘Rich Kid’, ‘Hand in Hand with Dad’ and ‘The Guardian of Words’.
Another mistake was the nomination of Bruce Willis, who was given his own category. When he confessed to having aphasia, they overruled it and apologized, stating that: “If the someone’s medical condition is a deciding factor in their way of acting or in their performance, we recognize it it’s not appropriate to give them a Razzie”.
