Controversy
[
edit

The
Worst Actress
nomination of then twelve-year-old
Ryan Kiera Armstrong
for her performance in the
Firestarter
remake
was the subject of backlash, alongside further
criticism
that
child actors
in the past had their careers harmed upon being nominated at the Razzies; such as
Gary Coleman
for
On the Right Track
(1981),
Macaulay Culkin
for
Richie Rich
(1994), and
Jake Lloyd
for
Star Wars: Episode I ? The Phantom Menace
(1999). Fellow child actor Julian Hilliard said the Razzies "crossed a line" and that the nomination put Armstrong at the risk of "bullying or worse".
Drew Barrymore
, a former child actress and star of the
original
Firestarter
film
(1984), denounced the decision as well, stating: "I don't like it... Because she is younger and it is bullying, and we do want to be cautious about how we speak to or about people because it encourages other people to join on that bandwagon, and I'm glad to see people didn't jump on the 'let's make fun of her' wave and instead said 'This isn't right'."

In the wake of the controversy, Razzies co-founder
John J. B. Wilson
explained that among the group's voters, Armstrong had come in fifth place out of five available spots and that, despite some concern due to her age, organizers approved the nomination on the grounds that Armstrong was a professional actress with prior experience. Wilson suggested that the level of criticism the nomination received was "overblown", but added: "The intent was to be funny. In this particular instance, we seem to have misstepped very badly. I would admit that."
[14]
Three days after the nomination was announced, Armstrong was removed from the ballot. Wilson issued a public apology and announced that the organization would no longer allow children to be nominated in any category.
[8]
In another surprise, for the first time in Razzies history, the organization gave itself an award: Worst Actress. After enduring the controversy of initially nominating Armstrong, the organization put themselves in Armstrong's place on the ballot; it won by a landslide.
