The group behind the awards faced widespread criticism after nominating the young star of Firestarter
Zac Efron and Ryan Kiera Armstrong in Firestarter.The organisers of the Razzie awards have removed the 12-year-old actor Ryan Kiera Armstrong from the worst actress category after backlash.
“Sometimes, you do things without thinking,” John Wilson, head of the group who puts on the awards, said in a statement. “Then you are called out for it. Then you get it. It’s why the Razzies were created in the first place.” “We also believe a public apology is owed Ms Armstrong, and wish to say we regret any hurt she experienced as a result of our choices,” he said. He also added that the group has “never intended to bury anyone’s career”., stating that Armstrong was “an experienced actress, even if she’s only 12” and that the reaction was “interesting” but “overblown”.
