The organizers of the Razzie Awards have rescinded Bruce Willis’s 2021 award in light of the actor’s recently disclosed aphasia diagnosis.
The annual awards, which recognize the worst films and performances, gave Willis his own special category this year: “Worst performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 movie”.
Days after the ceremony, however, Willis’s family announced that the actor was retiring after being diagnosed with aphasia, a disorder that affects the ability to understand language and communicate.
