The Razzie Awards said Wednesday that they will not rescind the “Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in 2021” award in light of the actor’s aphasia diagnosis.
“The Razzies are truly sorry for #BruceWillis diagnosed condition,” the parody awards ceremony wrote on Twitter. “Perhaps this explains why he wanted to go out with a bang in 2021. Our best wishes to Bruce and family.”
The message was not well-received on social media, with several users demanding that the Razzies delete it and issue an apology, particularly for the second sentence.
A few hours later, the Razzies replied to itself, “To clarify, we heard about Willis’ diagnosis at the same time everyone else did…just this morning.”
