A filmed version of a Broadway musical based on the life of Princess Diana has been named as the 'Worst Picture' at the 42nd Golden Raspberry Awards.
The annual ceremony – known as the Razzies – “honours” the worst in movies, handing out gongs for what are deemed to be lowlights of the Hollywood year.
Diana the Musical, was released on Netflix in October last year, and the Razzies described the film as: “the all-singing, all-dancing, all-awful, royal mess.”
It earned a total of nine nods in major categories and won accolades for worst picture, worst actress, worst supporting actress, worst director and worst screenplay.
